Jen Shah, a Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star, received a six-and-a-half-year prison sentence on Friday.
In July, the TV star pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud for her role in a telemarketing scheme that preyed on vulnerable people.
Shah apologized for her role and stated that she would work for the rest of her life to make things right.
She agreed to forfeit $6.5 million (£5.3 million) as part of her plea deal.
She was also fined $9.5 million (£7.8 million) in restitution.
Shah was sentenced to 78 months in prison after his lawyers requested three years in prison while prosecutors recommended ten years.
Prosecutors claim that Shah, 49, and her former assistant Stuart Smith, who has also pleaded guilty, created and sold lists of vulnerable victims, including the elderly, to other members of the fraud scheme.
Authorities argued in court filings that Shah was the “most culpable” person charged in the case.
According to prosecutors, the scheme has defrauded thousands of people since 2012.
Victim statements also indicate, among the victims was a widow in her 70s who lost half of her life savings and another person with a health condition who became homeless after losing money to the scheme to pay for misleading business opportunities.
