Despite all the Ariana Madix. The reality TV star, who you can normally catch on Vanderpump Rules, is currently living her best life on Dancing With the Stars.
Things look to be on the up for Madix after a rough start to the year; she’s discovering a love for dancing, has a role in an Lifetime movie, and also has another season of Vanderpump Rules set to potentially air next year. She clearly has a lot going on, but exactly how much is she earning from all of this? Her net worth is said to be around $1 million but how has Ariana managed to earn so much?
According to Cosmopolitan, Madix makes quite a lot of money from VPR with her pay for each episode — reportedly being around $25,000 which works out to be an impressive $600,00 per season. Her paycheck hasn’t always looked like this, though, with the reality star earning about $10,000 in the earlier seasons. That all changed around 2017 when Madix was brought on as a main cast member.
Ariana also co-owns a two-million-dollar home with her ex, Tom Sandoval. Of course, the pair’s current situation complicates things; Tom has reportedly taken out a home equity loan for the value of their house. Madix also has her own business, a cocktail brand known as Drink From Home. In fact, she has quite the ion for cocktails as she’s even had a book published on the subject titled Fancy AF Cocktails.
But that’s not all. Her and Vanderpump Rules costar Katie Maloney are setting up their own Parisian style café called Something About Her which is supposedly set to open its doors soon. She’s also selling team Ariana merch which throws shade at Tom, which is definitely one of the best methods for getting your own back at a cheating ex.
As if she didn’t have enough already on her plate, Madix has made a nice sum of money thanks to her appearance on Dancing With the Stars. The exact amount is unknown, but the rehearsal period pays the stars $125,000, with remuneration for any beyond that varying.
Finally, Madix is also shifting her career more towards films and acting. As previously mentioned, she already has a ing role in the Meaghan Good movie Buying Back My Daughter. With so many ongoing projects you have to wonder how Ariana manages it all. 2023 has proven to be quite fruitful so far and it looks like the future is only going to be more profitable for the reality star.
