What is the Net Worth of the 'Vanderpump Rules' Cast?

They started as servers, but now the cast of Vanderpump Rules are stars. So, how much are they worth?

The cast was allegedly only paid $5,000 a piece for the entire first season, according to TMZ. TMZ reported a bump up to $3,000 per episode for season 2 (about $51,000 for the season), then $5,000 per episode for season 3 ($63,000). Season 4 was when the cast got bumped up closer to Housewives money – a reported $15,000 per episode ($360,000), and things have only gone up for the VPR stars since then.

When Vanderpump Rules hit the air in 2013, the cast was full of young restaurant workers trying to make it in Hollywood. Years later, they’ve officially made it – thanks to the show. From club appearance fees to sponsored posts on social media, side hustles and, of course, the money they make on VPR, the bank accounts of the SUR-vers have drastically improved. By how much? Let’s see…

Note: all net worths listed are estimated, in USD and according to online sources like Celebrity Net Worth, Forbes and Wealthy Gorilla.

Watch the dramatic new season of Vanderpump Rules on Wednesdays at 9EP on Slice, the Global TV app or STACKTV with Amazon Prime Video Channels, fuboTV, Rogers Ignite TV and Ignite SmartStream.

Katie Maloney’s net worth: $1.5 million

Katie has been on the show since its very first season, and since that time she's garnered a net worth of $1.5 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. She relies mainly on the show for income, unlike her castmates who ventured off into businesses along the way.

Her main focus used to be married life, but after splitting from her ex-husband and co-star Tom Schwartz, it looks like that will be changing this season. Plus, after Tom and Katie separated, they sold their home for a reported $2.6 million in July 2022, which could account for a good chunk of her net worth.

Tom Sandoval’s net worth: $4 million

We're surprised to see Tom Sandoval so high up on this list, but maybe his career as a model was better than we give him credit for. Or maybe he's just really good at saving? Celebrity Net Worth pegs his net worth at $4 million. That's The Young and the Restless kind of money! We can only assume his TomTom business venture, his successful cocktail book and new home has contributed to this.
