Bethenny Frankel's had her fair share of romance woes, and now she's dishing on why she believes some of her relationships went down in flames: money.

"Someone said to me recently, 'We are pricing ourselves out of the market,' " says the Skinnygirl mogul, 44, in the new issue of PEOPLE.

Ever the enterpriser, the Real Housewives of New York City star, who just returned for season seven, hopes to turn her failed romances into another facet of her growing empire with the new book, I Suck at Relationships So You Don't Have To.

Frankel most recently broke up with boyfriend of one year Michael Cerussi III and is, of course, still battling through a bitter divorce from husband Jason Hoppy.

"I think that fame and attention and money does not bring out the best in everybody," Frankel told Bravo's Andy Cohen during a candid, one-on-one episode of Watch What Happens Live in March. "Money in many ways is the root of all evil."
