Why did Mauricio leave Hilton and Hyland?
The reality star and his brother-in-law, 67, had a falling out in 2011 when Hilton did not raise Umansky to full partner at Hilton & Hyland, his real estate firm. Umansky later founded The Agency, which is now the focus of the Netflix reality show Buying Beverly Hills.
