Have you ever wondered how much money you’d make on Real Housewives of Orange County? Well, thanks to Jennifer Pedranti’s neverending divorce battle, we’ve got a bit of an idea.
Although Jennifer and her ex-husband, William Pedranti, settled their divorce earlier this year, the peace didn’t last for very long. According to Jennifer, she hasn’t been getting her payments, and she’s looking to have a court enforce it. That process, however, has opened a whole new can of worms.
Jennifer Pedranti’s RHOC salary revealed
As part of the court proceedings, Jennifer filed an income and expense declaration outlining her entire financial situation. In Touch obtained the documents where she presented details about her yoga studio, and more importantly, her Bravo salary.
In Jennifer’s declaration, she listed her average monthly income as $10,740. She makes $7,500 per episode of Real Housewives of Orange County. Most seasons have around 20 episodes, so if you do the math, that comes out to around $150,000. It’s not bad, but it’s not life-changing either.
Fortunately for Jen, her yoga business is turning a profit. In August, her studio earned a $10,000 profit. Regardless, she admitted in a recent interview that the RHOC salary has been her saving grace.
“Everything when it comes to the lot of the expenses is on me and if I didn’t have the Housewives job, you know, I really don’t know where I would be, so I’m just grateful that I do have that,” the RHOC star confessed last month.
Although Bravo doesn’t comment on salaries, Andy Cohen has said the Bravo paychecks get better with time. The longer you’re on a show, the more money you make.
Jen is only in her second season, but she’s made a huge splash so far. Judging by how Season 18 is going, she’s probably not leaving RHOC any time soon. If anything, she’ll probably get a pay raise ahead of Season 19.
The Real Housewives of Orange County airs new episodes on Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
