Ever wondered how much your favorite housewives make? Well here’s a breakdown of how much some of the wives make. Apparently, the more drama you bring the more you stand to make. It pretty much seems like selling your soul really but I guess it’s an “easy” way to make 6 figures without needing a college education or working too hard. Plus these ladies get to expand their brand beyond the Housewives franchise, but is it worth everything else they sacrifice and opening up their lives to the public? You decide
The Real Housewives of Atlanta (highest rated of the franchise)
Nene reportedly earns about $1 million dollars
Kandi earns $450,000
Cynthia and Phaedra earn $300,000 (Peter and Apollo reportedly get $75k)
Kenya and Porscha also hover around the $200,000 mark
Real Housewives of New Jersey (second highest rated)
Teresa Guidice – $650,000
Caroline Manzo – $400,000
Melissa Gorga – $300,000
Jacqueline Laurita – $275,000
The Real Housewives of OC ( the original series in the franchise)
Vikki Gunvalson – $500,000
Gretchen Rossi – $350,000
Tamra Barney – $325,000
Alexis Bellino – $175,000
Couldn’t find Heather Dubrow salary anywhere but her first season salary is rumored to be anywhere between $5,000 – $30,000 because she was new. No idea how much it was upped this season.
Real Housewives of New York
Ramona and Duchess Luann – $500, 000
Sonja – $220,000
Aviva Drescher – $200,000
Heather and Carole – about $175,000
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Lisa – $375,000
Kyle Richards – $275,000
Brandi – $175,000
Taylor Armstrong – $127,000
Kim – about $140,000
Does anyone watch this franchise? If DC got cancelled they deserved to be cancelled too? I couldn’t find anything but noone gets paid higher than $75,000 reportedly. That seems really low but ah well.
The ladies also get a lil something extra when they show up for reunions. So what do you think? Surprised at any?
