Vanderpump Rules’ latest season is the most dramatic one yet, after a ‘Scandoval’ was revealed with Tom Sandoval cheating on his now-ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix, with co-star Raquel Leviss

But who’s the richest out of all the reality TV stars on the show, from Vanderpump and Scheana Shay’s RHOBH gigs and Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop Something About Her, to Tom Schwartz and James Kennedy?

Vanderpump Rules, which first hit TV screens in 2013, is currently experiencing its most explosive and dramatic season yet.

The popular show’s recent drama revolves around one of the protagonists and long-standing cast members, Tom Sandoval. He cheated on his former girlfriend of some nine years, fellow cast mate Ariana Madix, with Raquel Leviss, another of the show’s stars and Madix’s best friend.

The reason for the show’s current media frenzy is the fact that Madix found out about the affair in March 2023 after the show had already begun airing. The affair allegedly began in August 2022, while filming season 10. That means during production, Sandoval and Leviss were engaged in a full-on romantic love affair, supposedly unbeknown to their fellow VPR stars and the production team. Yikes.

Once TMZ broke the news of the drama, fans quickly became enthralled knowing that Sandoval and Leviss were having an affair behind everyone’s back and lying to their friends and castmates. This has made for some of the most captivating – and cringeworthy – scenes in reality TV history.

The media hype has been so great that the show has been enjoying its best ratings ever and was even covered by CNN, The View and joked about at the White House Correspondents Dinner, according to Glamour.

But who’s the richest star of the show? We take a look at the cast ranked by net worth, as per Celebrity Net Worth and other outlets.
