The Real Housewives of Vancouver star Ronnie Seterdahl Negus has a hard-edged personality in the show. She told the VO she's actually a "private person" and comes across as slightly tough and pushy because she has to be a strong mother for her family.  

"My nine-year-old daughter of our five children has special needs, so I thought: if I am going to do this and feel good about it, how can I do that? And the answer was clear: that was to give a 100 per cent of my proceeds to charity, to the BC Centre for Ability, a center that is hugely involved with youth, children and adults with special needs. So I did this for them."

"So when I fall and stumble (in the show) -- and I do -- it's those moments that I remember, 'I'm doing this for the right reasons'."

Like the other housewives in the show, Seterdahl Negus isn't on the show for the financial perks: she's in it to raise funds for a good cause. 

"I obviously don't need the money," she said. Of all the housewives, she's probably the least in need of financial help, with four homes in West Vancouver and a private jet and a 200-acre Napa Valley vinyard to her name.
