When the story broke yesterday that Sheree’s salary demands might have caused her to get cut from the “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” we didn’t know what her pay actually was, we just knew she wanted more money. Well Hello Beautiful got to the bottom of things and found out what all the ladies of the show are making, and as far as I’m concerned, Sheree should have been very happy considering what she was taking home for about 13 weeks of “work.” Here’s what every member of the “Housewives” cast gets paid:

NeNe: $750K per season, plus a $250K bonus for the reunion show

Kim: $600K per season plus a $150K bonus for the reunion

Sheree: $550K per season plus a $150K bonus for the reunion

Kandi: $450K per season plus a $100K bonus for the reunion

Phaedra and Cynthia: $300K per season plus a $75K bonus for the reunion

Marlo and Peter: $75K, must be available for filming on request

Kroy and Apollo: $50K, must be available for filming on request

No wonder these ladies keep coming back every season, they’re making serious money—and for half of them this is just a side hustle. Must be nice.

    Sheree is a dumbass and if I were her ex I wouldn’t pay her anything either!!!  And she threw water in his face!!??  If she cannot rock $700k then she needs to go FIX HER BRAIN and learn math!!!  She is stupid!

    Well I hope they’re saving some of this money, cause apart from Nene who’s doing other things on tv, nothing will be happening for the rest of them once the show folds which could be soon.

    im glad sheree is gone…boring! maybe she will get a job/hustle…hell, represent a weave line or something! she think she is cute and she is not! imo…she looks like a drag queen! and whats up with nene? tombout she’s not a club gal…and she was a stripper…yeah right!

  • Eestoomuch

    nene needs a different/better hair stylist…ijs…all that money and 1 season she had that whack weave/wig, 2nd season she had that 2 tone plastic quick weave and now she has them wheat thin looking tracks and the back looking like a brillo pad! NO MA’AM! and i think Kandi probably mad a side deal to hustle her BEDROOM KANDI, TAGS and other show…she is diversified and a BOSSETTE i am not mad at her hustle!

    i LIKE THE DRESSES, ESPECIALLY CYNTHIA’S

    NeNe and Kim were so uninteresting this season. They should not be the highest paid. NeNe didn’t really interact with anyone but Marlo (who is dreadful!) and Kim was just BORING! She doesn’t do anything but sit around her house and order all of her many assistants (chef, assistant, housekeepers, nannies, UGH!). For somebody who doesn’t do anything she sure has a lot of help! I just need one assistant. I do more in a day than that woman does in a year!

    • Squeezablechic

      Agreed…she’ll be like Lisa and run out of money soon enough with that big house they just bought…IJS.

      • guest

        The didn’t buy that house. They’re renting. She even said so on the show.

  • Ladi B

    Phaedra should be making more! She’ by far the favorite of many

    • writingmomma

      Phaedra should be getting more because of all of Aiden’s appearances on the show. Prince Aiden needs his own salary. LMBO!

  • Nikkita Michelle

    Seems like Sheree could have asked for Kim’s salary.  Jumping to Nene’s salary and your life being pretty boring seems financially irresponsible for any show.  I see why they let her go.

    Is one of those Peters supposed to be an Apollo?
