A new season of Vanderpump Rules is almost here, and you know what that means: In an all-new season, I'll be watching a bunch of my favorite drama fans make ends meet. The guys at SUR manage to get themselves involved in all kinds of crazy shenanigans that make it look like they have a lot of money to burn. This begs the question, what exactly is the Vanderpump Rules actor's net worth?
Surprisingly, their overall financial health is pretty average. You'd think that in order for reality stars to be able to enjoy lavish vacations and frequent brunches, they'd need to be flush with cash at some point. However, when viewers see the actors' modest apartments and vehicles, the true nature of their situation becomes apparent. Their jobs at SUR aren't just for the show either, as they are actually bartenders and waitresses. Of course, tips at SUR are probably pretty good considering it's a high-end (not to mention famous) restaurant in Los Angeles, but their salaries are still realistic. According to Glass Door, California pays tipped workers about $9 an hour, and the cast of " Vanderpump Rules" reportedly makes $5,000 per episode, though TMZ didn't name any sources, and they said in 2014 The December report was also not confirmed by Bravo.
Here's a breakdown of the cast's finances, but the reported estimates cannot be confirmed.
Katie Maloney
According to Richest & Celebrity Net Worth, Katie's net worth is approximately $30,000. She has a very successful fashion and makeup blog called Pucker and Pout, which may make her even better in the future.
Stacie Schroeder
Stassi may keep claiming to be descended from a Swedish princess, but her former best friend Katie has a net worth of $30,000, The Richest reports. Considering she's dabbled in fashion blogging and started her own necklace line, I'm sure she'll probably be moving up the ranks in the next few years.
Jax Taylor
Jax also has the added benefit of having been working steadily for a long time before joining the Vanderpump Rules cast. Due to his extensive modeling work, The Richest estimates his net worth at approximately $150,000.
Shayna Marie Shay
Scheana is worth slightly more than Stassi and Katie, with The Richest estimating her net worth at around $60,000. We got a few hints about how much her actual salary on Vanderpump Rules was paid when she explained that she had to use the settlement money (from her dental incident) to pay for her lavish wedding.
Tom Sandoval
Although Tom has a lower degree than Jax, he has been working as a model and Celebrity Net Worth estimates his net worth to be around $40,000.
Kristen Doute
Tom's ex-wife may not be everyone's best friend anymore, but The Richest estimates her net worth at around $30,000, which puts her well in line with the rest of the crowd. This year, however, her new T-shirt business may change that.
All things considered, the cast of "Vanderpump Rules" leads a pretty modest, reliable life. It just goes to show you that things aren't always like they are on reality TV.
