We’ve heard NeNe Leakes say “ I’m cashing Trump checks” but which housewife really gets paid the most for being on the show? Which Atlanta housewife is the richest?
A big misconception that I think everyone has , is that reality stars are paid by the episode. Though that may be the case for some shows, RHOA stars are paid by the season. According to the balance.com, for this past season Kandi Burruss earns the most per episode and is likely to get paid more than her other counterparts for participating in the reunion .That has since then changed since NeNe Leaks has returned to the show who is estimated to be worth $12 million as of 2017 and get is estimated to receive $3 million a season.
The following information was taken from a public sources, and the stars are listed in order of who is paid the most to least and Not in order of net worth. These figures represent what the house wives were reportedly paid as of February 2017 for the previous season.
