Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta got off to a rough start. Viewers tried to adjust to Kenya Moore losing her peach. But by the time the show ended, most people were satisfied with all of the messiness that was delivered, which was evident by Show Buzz Daily’s recap from Nielsen ratings.
Now we’re getting ready for Season 12, which promises to be just as entertaining and even more profitable for some of the cast members. The Atlanta Housewives crushed the other franchises in ratings. As the most popular series, it’s only right that the peach holders and friends of the cast are rewarded for keeping viewers entertained through each and every episode. However, not everyone will be making a huge salary.
Here how much the cast of RHOA will make for Season 12, according to our trusted source.
Tanya Sam
Some people are confused as to what Tanya Sam brings to the show besides her head-to-toe designer outfits. Whether you think she deserves a peach or not, the executives have decided they love having her on the show. She got a $50,000 pay raise, which brings her new salary to $150,000 for Season 12.
Eva Marcille
Newlywed Eva Marcille will be juggling motherhood and her new duties as a wife in Season 12. Her salary reportedly went from $250,000 to $275,000.
Marlo Hampton
Marlo Hampton still hasn’t snagged a peach, but she’ll still be back to cause some more drama. She made $275,000 for Season 11, and she was bumped up to $300,000 for the upcoming season.
Kenya Moore
Kenya Moore was reportedly asked to return to the show, but she won’t be making the $1.5 million dollars she was making before. Instead, sources say Bravo will be starting her out at a rate of $500,000 for Season 12.
Porsha Williams
Porsha Williams is one housewife who has done a complete 180. She went from being banished by most of the cast for her behavior and for spreading a horrible rumor about Kandi Burruss and her husband, Todd Tucker. But she was able to turn things around, and she and Kandi are even back to being cordial.
With Porsha entering a new phase of her life as a mother and bride-to-be, her paycheck went from $1.25 million to $1.3 million dollars for Season 12. Now that there are rumors that she and her fiancé, Dennis McKinley, have broken up, her storyline will be even juicier than before.
Cynthia Bailey
It’s being reported that Cynthia Bailey’s peach is hanging by a thread. Producers reportedly want more footage of her relationship with sportscaster Mike Hill in order to spice up her storyline. Her salary went from $1.75 million in Season 11 to just $1.8 million for Season 12.
Kandi Burruss
Kandi Burruss is always making money moves, so we’re not surprised that her salary continues to increase more and more as the show continues. She was able to negotiate a slightly higher pay raise for season 12, bumping her from $2.2 million to $2.3 million dollars.
The real question is: how will Kandi re-invest this money? Will she put it into one of her existing businesses or will she launch something new? We’ll have to wait and see!
NeNe Leakes
The season ended with NeNe Leakes dumping her best friend, Cynthia, and unfriending the majority of the cast on social media. She also has a lot of issues going on in her marriage to Gregg Leakes and producers want to make sure that all of NeNe’s battles are front and center for Season 12.
She reportedly made $2.75 million in Season 11, and she received an increase for Season 12 in the amount of $2.85 million dollars, making her the highest-paid housewife. All hail the H.B.I.C.!
Shamari DeVoe
And what about Shamari DeVoe? Sources say she was demoted as a full-time cast member and will receive a daily rate to film scenes as a friend of the cast.
