Apparently, some of the Vanderpump Rules stars are claiming financial hardship. Nick Viall’s not buying it.
In a clip from his April 23 Viall Files podcast, the Season 21 Bachelor declared, “The math isn’t mathing.”
Nick is “floored” by the number of times he’s heard Pump Rules cast members say they’re broke. “How can you be on TV for the better part of a decade [and] amass a large social media following that, if you do anything with [it], is a good payday?” he asked.
Vanderpump Rules cast members are “not saving”
“There’s a lot of people not saving, unfortunately,” he admitted. “I think that’s the new norm these days … The [VPR] cast is a good example of how you can make a lot of money and still be poor.”
Some of the cast have invested their cash into real estate, restaurants, and business ventures rather than banking it. In March 2023, after Scandoval broke, Ariana Madix claimed she had only $2,000 in the bank. She couldn’t afford to move out and had to cohabitate with her cheating ex in the house they’d bought together.
“The internet thinks I’ve made millions of dollars,” she said at the time. “That is not true, and it’s, like, on March 1 [2023], was I financially prepared to move? No.” Much of her cash went into her and co-star Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop, Something About Her, which still has yet to open.
Fortunately for Ariana, she soon got commercial opportunities with Lays, Duracell, SoFi, and others, as well as movie roles and a slot on Dancing with the Stars. Since then, financial minds estimate that Ariana’s raked in a profit of somewhere around $2 million. These windfalls, along with her casting in the Broadway production Chicago, enabled her to buy a $1.6 million house in LA just one year out from Scandoval.
Vanderpump Rules airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
TELL US – DO YOU THINK THE VPR CAST HAS BEEN IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THEIR MONEY? OR IS NICK LOOKING AT THIS WITH A TOO TRADITIONAL MINDSET?
