Tom Sandoval's net worthAmerican Tom Sandoval is an entrepreneur, reality star, author, musician, and model. He is currently most well-known as one of the cast members of reality series Vanderpump Rules, which airs on the Bravo channel. Over the years, fans have seen Sandoval tackle a wide range of business and personal issues. One of the biggest questions fans have today is what exactly is Tom Sandoval’s net worth?

Who Is Tom Sandoval?

Tom Sandoval was born in St. Louis, Missouri on July 7, 1983 to father Anthony Sandoval and mother Terri Green. He has one sibling, a brother named Brian Sandoval. Sandoval began his career as a model, having a notable appearance as a shirtless model at a casting call in MTV’s The Hills.

Sandoval then transitioned to acting, appearing in the 2008 film Playing With Fire. He followed that up with appearances in the 2010 film Puppet Master: Axis of Evil, the 2011 film Behind Your Eyes, and the 2012 film 23 Minutes to Sunrise. Other short film, movie and TV appearances include Scare Us, The Wrong Real Estate Agent, Dying for a Baby, The Other Two, and Alien Presence.

In 2013, Sandoval appeared in the premiere episode of Vanderpump Rules as a bartender at a restaurant in West Hollywood, California called SUR, which is owned by Lisa Vanderpump, a star of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The show followed the lives of six Los Angeles waiters and waitresses working at Lisa Vanderpump’s businesses. Sandoval and co-stars Scheana Shay and Katie Maloney are the only three that have been full-time cast members since the show premiered.

Sandoval and his best friend and co-star Tom Schwartz opened a restaurant called TomTom Bar in West Hollywood in August 2018 under the guide of Lisa Vanderpump. In November 2022, the duo opened another bar, Schwartz & Sandy’s, in Los Angeles’ Franklin Village neighborhood. They have also launched their own whiskey label called Toms’ Good Lovin’.

In addition to his business endeavors, Sandoval is the lead singer in a band called Tom Sandoval and The Most Extras and plays guitar in a band called Pierce the Arrow. He has also appeared in two Bon Jovi music videos. He also coauthored a book with co-star Ariana Madix called Fancy AF Cocktails: Drink Recipes from a Couple of Professional Drinkers, which was released in December 2019.

Tom Sandoval’s Net Worth And Assets

According to published reports, Tom Sandoval has an estimated net worth of $4 million. A significant portion of that wealth comes from starring on Vanderpump Rules for 10 seasons. While the core cast made roughly $10,000 for the entire first season, salary negotiations in 2017 and 2018 boosted the rate to $25,000 per episode. That means he made roughly $600,000 per season.

However, reality TV is just one way he makes money. His investments in TomTom and Schwartz & Sandy’s are sure to be netting him a considerable sum, although that amount has not been disclosed. He also earns revenue from his mixology guide book with Madix. As far as property goes, he bought a $2.07 million for a house in the LA suburb of Valley Village in February 2019, with Madix, who was his partner at the time, but the end of their relationship has left the status of their property in flux.

Future Effects On Net Worth

Sandoval is expected to continue reaping the rewards of his hard work. He has also referenced the numerous opportunities that have been presented to him due to his time on Vanderpump Rules.

Ariana Madix's net worthAmerican Ariana Madix is an actress, television personality, model, and author. She is best known for being a cast member on the reality television series Vanderpump Rules that airs on Bravo. However, she has been gracing both the large and small screens for the better part of a decade. So what exactly is Ariana Madix’s net worth?

Who Is Ariana Madix?

Ariana Madix was born in Melbourne, Florida on June 24, 1985 to Jim and Tanya Madix. She was raised alongside her brother Jeremy, who was born in 1992. In 2003, Madix graduated from Eau Gallie High School and went on to attend Flagler College, where she graduated in 2007 with bachelor’s degrees in Theatre and Broadcast Communications.

Madix already was a performer as a child, winning two national dance championships before graduating high school. During college, she worked at Disney World as costumed characters, including Disney princesses Ariel, Cinderella, and Aurora. She subsequently moved to New York City and began to study at New York University Tisch School of the Arts.

Madix’s early career included stints with CollegeHumor Originals, AwesomenessTV, and television series Writers Room, Single Siblings, Anger Management, and Waking Up With Strangers. She has also appeared in guest roles on several television series and in numerous films. She then started working as a bartender at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca.

Madix appeared on the Bravo reality television series Vanderpump Rules during season 1 and was featured more prominently in season 2, but didn’t become a full cast member of the show until season 3. The show follows the lives of the SUR, PUMP, and Villa Blanca servers, showing both the highs and the lows they encounter in their daily life. This was especially true for Madix, who found out her co-star and partner of nine years was cheating on her with another cast mate on the show. The resulting scandal has been all over the news, shining a bright spotlight on what has to be a very painful time for her.

Ariana Madix is not just an actress.

She also co-owns a $2.075 million home with her ex that was purchased in 2019, but after the breakup, the status of that property is in limbo.

Future Effects On Net Worth

Ariana Madix is expected to continue growing her net worth in the future. In addition to appearing on Vanderpump Rules, she is also set to star in the Lifetime movie Buying Back My Daughter for an undisclosed amount. She has also been announced as one of the dancing celebrities on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars, where everyone makes $125,000 for the rehearsal period and the first two weeks, then earns more money on a sliding scale for every episode they appear in after that.

Madix and her Vanderpump Rules cast mate Katie Maloney have also announced plans to launch a sandwich shop called Something About Her in the coming months. There is no official date set for the grand opening.

Tom Schwartz Net Worth

April 21, 2022 By 1 Comment

Tom Schwartz Net Worth

There are so many cast members of the “Real Housewives” franchise that it’s hard to keep up. However, there are a few mainstays that most people recognize. For example, Tom Schwartz is one of the main cast members of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” popular spinoff show “Vanderpump Rules.” What is Tom Schwartz Net Worth?

What Is Vanderpump Rules?

If you don’t follow all of the “Real Housewives” shows, then you might not know what we’re talking about. Lisa Vanderpump was one of the Beverly Hills show cast members. She has a Hollywood restaurant and bar called SUR. This drama at SUR is the subject of the television show “Vanderpump Rules.”

Who is Tom Schwartz?

“Vanderpump Rules” launched in 2013. Tom Schwartz appeared on the show as a recurring cast member from the very beginning. By Season 3, he was a main cast member of the show as a SUR bartender.

One of the main storylines of his character follows his relationship with fellow cast member Katie Maloney. Early on we see an episode where he admits to cheating on Katie. However, they work through it. In fact, they married in 2016. However, they have recently filed for divorce.

Another main storyline was when he left his role as a SUR bartender to open his own restaurant under Lisa’s tutelage. It opened in a 2019 episode.

Tom Schwartz on TV

He didn’t start out with a plan to be a reality TV star. Celebrity Net Worth explains that he began in other acting positions.  In 2011, he appeared in an episode of the TV show “True Blood.” In 2013, just before beginning work on “Vanderpump Rules,” he appeared in an episode of “Two and a Half Men.” That same year, he was in a documentary short called “2 Miles in 20 Minutes.”

However, once he began starring in “Vanderpump Rules,” his other television acting gigs seem to have fallen to the wayside. Although he seems to have stopped other forms of acting, he’s “acted” as himself in a variety of appearances over the years. According to IMDB, he’s been on “The Playboy Morning Show,” “Summer House,” “Celebrity Family Feud,” and “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen,” among other appearances.

Tom Schwartz, Model

TV Over Mind points out that he started out as a model before he was an actor. (He also took some college classes in pre-medicine with a plan to become a doctor if television didn’t work out, but modeling and then acting took off.)

Tom Schwartz, Bartender

He worked as a bartender at SUR. Presumably, the restaurant workers earn money from the show in two or three ways. First, they must get paid for their jobs. Bartenders can make good money, especially at a popular Hollywood bar. So, although we don’t know what he earned as a bartender, he likely did well for himself.

Second, of course, they get paid for appearing on the show itself. Therefore, some of Tom Schwartz net worth must come from whatever he earned per episode on “Vanderpump Rules.”

And finally, of course, most reality TV stars become influencers and earn at least a portion of their money that way. He has over 280K Twitter followers and over 980K Instagram followers.

Tom Schwartz, Restaurant Owner

In 2019, the “Vanderpump Rules” cameras began to follow him in his new endeavor. Lisa mentors him as he and his best friend Tom Sandoval open a restaurant together called TomTom Bar. The grand opening of the restaurant aired on a February 2019 episode of “Vanderpump Rules.”

Again, Tom Schwartz net worth is likely intertwined here, with some of the money coming from the success of the restaurant itself and some coming from his television appearances about the bar. Moreover, they’re all linked. The bar would likely never be so successful if the show hadn’t followed him on that journey, right? And all of this further builds his social media presence in an endless loop of each thing supporting the growth of the other. For example, TomTom Bar’s Instagram has over 400K followers.

In a roundup of the highest-earning “Vanderpump Rules” cast members, Yahoo! reports that Tom Schwartz net worth “kyrocketed from $25,000 to $2 million after he opened TomTom.”

Toms’ Good Lovin’ Whiskey

Tom’s Instagram bio link takes us to Toms’ Good Lovin’ Whiskey. This appears to be small batch bourbon and rye whiskey for sale by the owners of the TomTom Bar. Presumably, then, Tom Schwartz net worth includes earnings from these sales.

Tom Schwartz, Poker Player

Schwartz is open about his love of gambling, specifically of playing poker. In 2018, he appeared on the “Poker Night Live” television show. He also plays roulette and craps even though poker is first love. Of course, we don’t know how much he’s won or lost playing poker over the years.

What Is Tom Schwartz Net Worth?

Tom Schwartz has been successful not just as a reality television actor but more importantly as a business owner. Celebrity Net Worth places Tom Schwartz Net Worth at about $4 million. TomTom Bar co-owner (“the other Tom”) is also valued at a net worth of $4 million and Yahoo! reports that comes primarily from the bar, not as much from “Vanderpump Rules” episodes. Therefore, we can assume it’s likely the same story for Tom Schwartz. The two are among the highest-paid members of the “Vanderpump Rules” cast, though, according to that article.

Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney Divorce

Tom Schwartz married Katie Maloney in 2016. (They married on the “Vanderpump Rules” show and actually married again on the show in 2019 in a second Vegas ceremony.) So, they’ve been married for six years and were dating for another six years before that. However, in 2022, they’ve announced a difficult, but mostly amicable, divorce.

We don’t know at this time what the divorce settlement looks like. Therefore, we aren’t sure at this time whether Tom Schwartz net worth will be impacted in any way by the divorce. We do know that according to Celebrity Net Worth they purchased a home together in 2019 worth about $2 million.

Lala Kent's Net Worth

Lala Kent is an actress and television star best known for playing herself on the reality TV series “Vanderpump Rules.” She was romantically linked to film and television producer Randall Emmett with whom she had a child last year. However, they ended their engagement and separated recently, and she is reportedly now dating other people. What is Lala Kent’s net worth?

Who Is Lala Kent?

As aforementioned, the actress is best-known for her role on “Real Housewives” spinoff “Vanderpump Rules.” The series has been on the air, on the Bravo network, since 2013. Lala began making recurring appearances in Seasons 4 and 5. She then became a main cast member starting in Season 6. This has continued through the most recent season, 2021’s Season 9.

Lala Kent Childhood

Lala Kent wasn’t born Lala Kent. She was born in Salt Lake City, Utah as Lauren Birmingham in 1990. She began acting later under the name Lauryn Kent, before ultimately becoming Lala Kent.

Nicki Swift reports that Lauren’s family wasn’t Mormon, and that she was often bullied in the Mormon-heavy area where she grew up. However, she found her tribe in the theatre classes and started acting at a young age. She is very close with her mother and younger brother. She was close to her father, too, although he passed away in recent years.

She began spending time in LA as soon as she was out of high school, although she didn’t move there full-time until she was 23. She started appearing on “Vanderpump Rules” at the age of 25.

Lala Kent Personal Life

In her early twenties, Lala Kent dated football player Carter Hoffman. After they split up, she dated around. Shortly after beginning work on “Vanderpump Rules,” she began dating Randall Emmett. They kept their relationship secret for about two years. Then they went public. They had an on-again off-again relationship that the press has eaten up. In 2021, the engaged couple gave birth to their daughter Ocean.

However, the relationship wasn’t fated to last. They separated by the end of 2021. People reports that she has started going on dates again. However, she doesn’t want to focus her energies on a man. She wants to grow her business, which is primarily a beauty brand, and raise Ocean. She wants more kids in the future, but doesn’t necessarily feel that she needs to be attached to a man to make that happen.

Where Lala Kent’s Net Worth Comes From

Here is some information on Lala Kent’s work history, acting credits, and where she earns income from.

Modeling

Lala Kent initially began earning money primarily for her work as a model.

SUR Hostess

Vanderpump Rules has a restaurant called SUR (for sexy, unique restaurant). It’s featured in the show, as is the staff. Lala Kent is a hostess in the restaurant. Presumably the staff earns money for their work in addition to the money they earn from the show that films this work.

Vanderpump Dog Foundation

There’s also the Vanderpump Dog Foundation, an LA-based animal rescue that focuses on helping rescue dogs from the meat industry in China. Lala Kent is a volunteer for this organization. Her mom works for the Humane Society and Lala started volunteering as an animal activist long before she became a “Vanderpump Rules” star.

Other Acting Credits

In addition to the roles she plays as herself, such as those on “Vanderpump Rules” and also appearances on other “Real Housewives” shows, Lala Kent has 16 IMDB acting credits to her name. Many of these are under the name Lauryn Kent, starting with a 2009 appearance in the film “Reflections in the Mud.” It was a few years before her next appearance, a music video in 2013. Then she started gaining more regular work in the industry including:

  • Four roles in 2014/2015
  • One role in “The Row” in 2018; she played the lead in this film
  • Three roles in 2019, which was when she started accepting roles under the name Lala Kent
  • Three roles in 2020
  • Two roles in 2021

Her most recent roles were as Elva in “American Traitor: The Trial of Axis Sally” and as Billie Jean in “Out of Death.” IMDB doesn’t currently have her listed in pre-production or production for any upcoming 2022 roles, but we’re keeping an eye out.

She Sings, Too

Although this isn’t a huge part of Lala Kent’s net worth, IMDB reports, “Lala’s hit single Boy reached #1 in the Electronic genre on iTunes in 2018.”

Social Media and Merch Sales

Like many reality television celebrities, Lala Kent has taken advantage of the opportunities available to her to promote products for money. She uses her social media channels as an influencer and she also has a .

Additionally, she has her own website where she sells branded hoodies, joggers, tote bags, and more. She also more recently introduced the Give Them Lala baby brand for baby clothing and accessories.

Give Them Lala Beauty

In terms of merchandise sales, the majority of Lala Kent’s net worth comes from her beauty brand. Various sources call her a “beauty mogul.” The Give Them Lala Beauty brand includes both makeup and skin products. You can find these together on the separate but separately on social media under hashtags #givethemlalabeauty and #givethemlalaskin.

Autobiography

Some of Lala Kent’s net worth also comes from her book sales. Her book, “Give Them Lala,” came out in May 2021. It’s available for sale through major channels such as Amazon, as well as through her own website. It’s available as hardcover, Kindle, and audio book. In April 2022, the paperback version will also become available for purchase.

As you can see, she has diversified her income, which is such a critical component of wealth building.

What Is Lala Kent’s Net Worth?

We turned to Celebrity Net Worth as our favorite reporter on this topic. According to them, Lala Kent’s net worth is approximately $2 million. Notably, at the time they wrote that, they reported that she had three quarter of a million followers on Instagram. However, if you check her stats today, she’s almost one million more than that. Since she makes her money in large part by marketing her book, podcast, beauty products, and baby line through social media, we suspect Lala Kent’s net worth might actually have grown since that reporting.
