You know this is our time, these are the best days of our lives — and for the stars of Vanderpump Rules , the lyrics in their theme song ring true. Season 10 of the Bravo series ends on May 17, following a three-episode reunion of Lisa Vanderpump, a waitress and host at SUR restaurant in West Hollywood. and waiters became millionaires.
When the show premiered in 2013, it was reported that OG cast members including Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, and Tom Sandoval made just $5,000 each throughout the first season. As the show grew in popularity, so did their pay, jumping to $3,000 per episode for the second season and $5,000 per episode for the third season. The cast earned an estimated $25,000 per episode in 2017 and 2018, according to The Hollywood Reporter . There are 24 episodes per season and the price is $600,000. Their salaries will likely only get higher from that point on, since they no longer work at SUR and rely entirely on the show and their own businesses for income.
Vanderpump Rules has been on everyone's minds and in the headlines because of #Scandoval, which followed Ariana Madix's split from long-term boyfriend Sandoval , after he discovered he was cheating on them with their close friend and fellow actor Raquel Leviss. The lasting impact of this disaster is so far-reaching that it may even impact some of the cast's net worths in the near future, making now the perfect time to look back at just how rich these former SURvers are a decade after the show premiered.

What is Tom Sandoval's net worth?
$4 million
The main force behind #Scandoval is also one of the show's richest actors. While Sandoval had a history of modeling and small acting before "Pump Rules ," the show's paychecks and related business ventures likely kept his net worth high. Sandoval is a 5% co-owner of the TomTom restaurant in West Hollywood and owns an unknown higher percentage of his second restaurant, Schwartz & Sandy's. He's also the lead singer in his new cover band Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras, but considering they have to sell tickets for post-Scandoval shows at half price, they likely won't bring in much revenue.
What is Tom Schwartz's net worth?
$4 million
Like his business partner Sandoval, Schwartz's estimated net worth is higher than other actors due to his stakes in TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy's. He also has a wider modeling portfolio, as seen in previous seasons of the series.

$4 million

In 2021, Kent published her first book, which she also titled Give Them Lala , and hosts her own podcast of the same name.
What is Katie Maloney's net worth?
$1.5 million
Maloney has amassed her net worth from "Vanderpump Rules" and various side projects spawned from the show, including her previous podcast and the recently relaunched "Witches of WeHo" wine series. However, her net worth is likely to be on the rise since she's about to open "Something About Her" sandwich shop with co-star Ariana Madix in the coming months.

$ 1,000,000

Star .
What is Scheana Shay's net worth?
$500,000
Shay may not be the richest former SURver, but her net worth is still "as good as gold." In addition to her Pump Rules salary, Shay has amassed wealth through her long-running podcast Schenanigans and her year-long run on the Las Vegas production Sex Tips for Straight Men for Straight Women . Her cult classic hits like "Good As Gold" and "What I Like" heard on the show don't hurt either.
What is Raquel Levi's net worth?
unknown
#Scandoval's other half Leviss's net worth is currently unknown, but she could be making a fortune. According to Money Inc, Levis could be worth a staggering $30 million, while other sources put her net worth at a more conservative rumored $1.5 million.
Levis had no television experience before joining Vanderpump Rules , having only competed in pageants such as Miss California. She received some endorsements and a makeup collaboration with Kent as a result of the show, but both collaborations have ended. Since she only joined the show as a full-time cast member in season eight, it's unlikely that her salary will be the same as her long-time co-stars.
