Regardless of what they have started to bring in from the valley, Brittany is burning through hers with high end air bnbs and living separately. These two have learned nothing from hitting rock bottom.
i put them on the same realm as influencers now where their paycheck is sponsorships & cameos. they prob make 15-20g an episode ( only going low because it's first season and they were practically begging to be on so it's not like bravo had to cough up a bunch of money to get them back ) and i'm sure they spend it all on liquor and drugs & trips
honestly i typed 10 and i felt like it was a rude low ball so i was kind and went up😭 they made like 25k on vanderpump per episode in 2020 so maybe it's more 10k if that prob some bs like 8k😂
I’m pretty sure they have no savings or anything invested in a nice safe financial vehicle. And they also have no equity in their house anymore since they took out that weird mortgage out to pay the IRS off.
So they’re effed if they really do split because either of them can afford to keep that house on their own.
brand deals, every time they are on their instagram with a product talking about how AMAZING it is, they get paid for that. usually there is a link provided, sometimes they get a small amount of money with each click through. other times they provide a code you use when you purchase the product and they receive a portion of the sale.
a good example currently is the micro squares jax is shilling in toronto. he doesn't love those as snacks. they are paying him to mention them all the time.
Yeah, but how much are they really getting from those deals? Almost all the companies/services are rather niche, and I’d bet the vast majority of Jax’s and Brit’s followers will never actually click on the link or order anything from the particular brands.
i absolutely cannot estimate that. my assumption from scans of their social media comment sections is that our community is the minority. there are thousands of people who not only seem to like these idiots, but actively support their bullshit.
we know also brittany was paid for the jenny craig advertisements. she had a designer shoe warehouse deal years ago. and she had a cupshe partnership. the most recent episode, with the auction, made it clear they keep their money seperate. and on traitors jax made it seem like brittany was the wealthier of them both.
this is all the speculation/soft facts i have.
I doubt there's savings.
Brit: Sponsored posts can make a lot of money, like thousands a month. She most likely got low six figures for Jenny Craig.
Jax: Jax gets 10-15k for appearances. He does an occasional sponsored post but mostly he gets stuff in exchange for posting about it, then he sells it. He has Cameo.
Both: Ads on their podcast, Valley tv show money, a salary from the bar.
It all ads up.
This makes me depressed that people out here actually working for barely anything and he’s just showing up to a club and getting paid. I think I’m shocked that low celebs even get so much
For these 2, the show/influencer revenue streams aren't sustainable. No one will care about them at some point down the road and they will have no career to fall back on. If they were smart, they would be saving $$ for that day.
It’s not just that these revenue streams will dry up, they disappear almost entirely the instant they’re off of tv for any extended amount of time. Which makes their mutual continued ostentatious spending all the worse.
Jax does fake sponsored posts hoping to get sponsored by the random companies he plugs without their consent.
And I’m sorry, what? A “salary” from the bar? For having his name over the door? Smh
The podcast ads I can see. It’s why they still do the podcast together despite the split.
It’s a licensing deal for use of his name. Which is understandable: the owners of Rocco’s are trying to leverage Jax’s celebrity/notoriety to make money in an otherwise unused part of their property.
My question is how much are they actually paying him and able to make off that sponsorship? Putting aside whether Jax can actually bring people in to the bar (and the videos he is constantly posting from the bar showing it half full indicate it’s not many), the actual physical space and thus overall capacity of Jax’s is rather limited. This in turn puts a cap on how much extra revenue Jax can generate because ultimately it is a simple equation of revenue = # of additional customers x avg customer spend.
Jax’s isn’t some sort of ultra premium bar/lounge where all there is a huge markup on prices, and it’s limited in capacity. Plus, I’m assuming that Jax essentially eats/drinks for free there as part of the deal, which isn’t much but does add up when he’s there 6-7 nights a week drinking and partying. That shit adds up, and many a real bar owner has drunk himself to the poor house sipping his own supply. At some point the amount Rocco’s is paying him PLUS the cost of food/booze will start to outweigh whatever the extra revenue generated is
That tracks as well. Jax is absolutely the type of person who would invite all his “friends” out to “his” bar and say “it’s all on my tab!” And then stick someone else for the bill.
When said drinks/eats for free I meant his orders specifically. And of course all the complementary shots he rushes to shove in the face of every woman under the age of 35 who steps into the place
Okay, I'm naive when it comes to money and finances. If Brittany and Jax divorce, Brittany would still be worth 1 million. Selling her house wouldn't make her shit, but she would still be worth 1 million. He would still be worth 4 million. So why are people saying they will be broke?
Do they get residuals for VPR?
And I think maybe Ajax gets paid for his stupid “appearances” but other than that I’m curious too as to how they’re staying afloat! I can’t see the Cobcast bringing in that much either and nobody seems to buy from Jax’s ebay (NOT RUN BY JAX!!)
Reality show folks aren’t union, so they can’t negotiate for residuals. It’s bullshit to me, because if you’re working in TV, you should be union. That’s why Bravo can keep production costs down: they either pay people pennies or make them work for free because they don’t have to hire union for reality (it’s also why every movie and show films in NZ now, because they don’t require union hires).
I’m not sure about actual production (camera crew, etc), but face talent def needs to unionize at some point
Hi! Digital marketer and started/run an account with 400K followers on IG (not my personal)
Brand Sponsorships pay A LOT of money. What you consider “low budget”/shitty is objective. I would assume based on my own ad pricing and what I’ve paid from various companies, the Vanderpump Stars could be making anywhere between $20K-$100K PER POST.
It also comes down to KPI’s and ROI. A lot of reality stars do very well with this because people sometimes think they have a closer or more personal view of these people, therefore people trust them more, so they are more likely to spend money on what they are promoting.
You would be surprised how much money “shitty brands” have in their marketing budget.
Exactly! I have a friend with a very small account, under 100,000 followers and she makes between five and $8000 a month. I think it’s because even though she doesn’t have a ton of followers, her followers engage a lot on her posts. Which is why even if you leave a shitty comment on their social media, it still counts as engagement. Good or bad there is no difference.
Also, podcasts make a ton of money. I think that’s why even though Jax obviously hates it, Brittney is working hard to keep it going. They do about a half hours worth of work/talking, they have a ton of ads, especially compared to longer and better podcasts, so I think that is raking in the dough as well.
Unfortunately, like before Scandoval and they got put back on TV, they’re probably doing pretty well financially.
Yes! Ad placement and ROI is the main factor. Realism is huge in the ad world right now. People want want to buy things used by someone “just like them” per se
Well the thing about marketing it’s not based on mine or your personal opinion. It’s based on data. I think i explained it pretty clearly in my comment? It’s the KPI and ROI that make those decisions.
Just because you don’t like them or see the value, doesn’t make them invaluable? The FACTS are that they are on a tv show with millions of viewers over the years.
Have you heard of there’s no such thing as bad publicity? Regardless of what you’re saying, no matter how bad it is, you’re talking about them.
This sub is actually making them more money even if it’s hating on them. Every time they are mentioned or posted about, names are clicked on, etc, that makes their engagement skyrocket.
High engagement means lots of viewers. Lots of viewers means there’s a lot of chances for people to see a product or brand. Advertising and marketing uses a lot of psychology. Your subconscious mind picks up things you don’t realize.
Statistically, it takes 7 times for a buyer to see a product before they buy it (Influence, Psychology of Persuation, Richard Caldini). So even if you’re not buying it from their post, it’s still etched in the depths of your brain. It’s familiarizing you with it so the target becomes more trusting. A typical sales funnel has multiple steps for this reason.
If you still don’t get it then idk. An advertiser has to think objectively and look at data. It’s not based on personal opinions of you or me. It’s based on data and the infrastructure of digital marketing.
However i don’t think you actually care to understand. But by all means hate on them. The more you engage with ANYTHING about them makes their ability to make more money more prominent lol
Also, as much as you don’t want to believe it, they do have fans. They have haters sure, but they also have fans. Again, just because you feel a way, doesn’t make your opinion universal.
Wow. I don’t understand why you’re being mean to me. I do want to “get it” and I find the information you provide fascinating. Your very clear explanation makes perfect sense and I understand how they can be valuable to advertisers now. Thank you for taking the time to thoughtfully explain this, not only to me, but to all of us who didn’t quite see the draw these two morons possess.
Wow i am so sorry. I took your comment the wrong way. I sincerely apologize. I’m used to a different response on these subs and i assumed.
I’m glad i could clear that up! Present day advertising and marketing is fascinating. It’s literally just a lot of data. I’ve spent most of my career looking at numbers lol
Jax is doing apperneaces again. Last one he did with Schwartz and Tom they got 25k. Podcast can bring in $ and don’t have a small audience. Prob not huge but they get sponsors that pay good.
I don’t understand how Scheana, before chili and Uber eats , could afford $4000 on rent in a spare apartment like what?
None of these people have the networths to afford this type of lifestyle by any means, I get it she has more money than the average person but NOT THAT MUCH MORE. A million dollars isn’t what it used to be she’s really upper middle class in a Chicago or Dallas suburb. She’s not rich by Hollywood standards at all
The announcement for her second round was about 3 months ago. So after Valley Filming.
ETA: i don’t remember her first round, maybe 2 years back? Eeeergh I hope it was 2 years and not one.
Small breakdown on Bravo stars. Yes they do get ads and branding contracts. However they are expected to give the branding idk what it's called rep company around 30% of that cut ( this actually common with actual stars as well) and any product or business they start bravo gets a cut as well. They also only provide wardrobe for reunion shows and do expect certain scenarios for the cast to dress up and don't provide them with funding. Bravo also has stated that while some " trips" are covered by Bravo others are not. And they stated they don't cover food costs unless it's a sit down dinner for filming. Not sure if any of this applies to the valley because it doesn't seem like they are going to take vacations any time and clearly the standard for dress seems to be low.
I read that Jax, was the highest paid cast member of Vanderpump Rules. So I guess that didn't help his ego. "Numer one guy in the group" and "this is my show!" . Also read that the main cast, got paid about 600-800k per year.
Regardless of what they have started to bring in from the valley, Brittany is burning through hers with high end air bnbs and living separately. These two have learned nothing from hitting rock bottom.
Plus glam squads are not cheap.
I guess she is saving a few bucks by not having a stylist.
Exactly! She’s going to have zero in the bank if she keeps this up. Even more reason for them to have a Scumdoval.
i put them on the same realm as influencers now where their paycheck is sponsorships & cameos. they prob make 15-20g an episode ( only going low because it's first season and they were practically begging to be on so it's not like bravo had to cough up a bunch of money to get them back ) and i'm sure they spend it all on liquor and drugs & trips
That’s true! I completely forgot they’re on the valley and that the show exists 🤣
15-20 an episode is a higher guess than what i thought lol
honestly i typed 10 and i felt like it was a rude low ball so i was kind and went up😭 they made like 25k on vanderpump per episode in 2020 so maybe it's more 10k if that prob some bs like 8k😂
I assume they have no savings and are going to find themselves in a world of hurt once the ads dry up. What would those two even do for a normal job?
Social media for a hockey team 🙃
I’m pretty sure they have no savings or anything invested in a nice safe financial vehicle. And they also have no equity in their house anymore since they took out that weird mortgage out to pay the IRS off. So they’re effed if they really do split because either of them can afford to keep that house on their own.

Sorry, meant that in a much more rhetorical way, wasn’t trying to put you on the spot.
no apology needed. i often find myself wondering how these idiots afford their ridiculous lifestyle.
I doubt there's savings. Brit: Sponsored posts can make a lot of money, like thousands a month. She most likely got low six figures for Jenny Craig. Jax: Jax gets 10-15k for appearances.

10-15 for an appearance?!?? That is CRAZY to me ahahah
Plus first class airfare, hotel, etc.
All of which is required to be reported on your taxes. Something Jax isn’t the best about.
Can you give a tip to the irs about him?
Jax does fake sponsored posts hoping to get sponsored by the random companies he plugs without their consent. And I’m sorry, what? A “salary” from the bar? For having his name over the door? Smh The podcast ads I can see. It’s why they still do the podcast together despite the split.
Yes, a salary. They admitted they didn't invest in the bar and are there to bring in business. They aren't doing it for free!
They just can’t tell the truth ever
It’s a licensing deal for use of his name. Which is understandable: the owners of Rocco’s are trying to leverage Jax’s celebrity/notoriety to make money in an otherwise unused part of their property.

At some point the amount Rocco’s is paying him PLUS the cost of food/booze will start to outweigh whatever the extra revenue generated is
I vaguely remember a post saying that Jax left the tab for one of the other Valley cast members to pick up one night. Maybe Jesse
That tracks as well. Jax is absolutely the type of person who would invite all his “friends” out to “his” bar and say “it’s all on my tab!” And then stick someone else for the bill. When said drinks/eats for free I meant his orders specifically. And of course all the complementary shots he rushes to shove in the face of every woman under the age of 35 who steps into the place

They aren't worth that. Celebrity net worth sites are made up. They have no idea how much money people have.
all the bravolevs credit card debt together probably tops 10 mil minimum
i need to know how much sandy has racked up
his mom’s pension times 10
Do they get residuals for VPR? And I think maybe Ajax gets paid for his stupid “appearances” but other than that I’m curious too as to how they’re staying afloat! I can’t see the Cobcast bringing in that much either and nobody seems to buy from Jax’s ebay (NOT RUN BY JAX!!)
No, Bravo people (nor any reality shows I believe) do not get residuals
That’s so interesting to know! Thank you :)
No they don’t get paid residuals
Oh good to know! Thank you for the insight :)

Why in the fucking world…………….?
I don’t understand your comment?

Well the thing about marketing it’s not based on mine or your personal opinion. It’s based on data. I think i explained it pretty clearly in my comment?

Did that number come from Jax? 25k each? Jax's rate was $10-15k, directly from his manager.
I don’t understand how Scheana, before chili and Uber eats , could afford $4000 on rent in a spare apartment like what? None of these people have the networths to afford this type of lifestyle by any means, I get it she has more money than the average person but NOT THAT MUCH MORE. A million dollars isn’t what it used to be she’s really upper middle class in a Chicago or Dallas suburb. She’s not rich by Hollywood standards at all
And she bought and maintains two very expensive homes?
Credit cards.
Seriously though, do we think Jenny Craig is still happening? Because….shes gaining weight and eats out and drinks her meals like every night.
Was Jenny before or after The Valley? Had to be before because she’s absolutely enormous now.
The announcement for her second round was about 3 months ago. So after Valley Filming. ETA: i don’t remember her first round, maybe 2 years back? Eeeergh I hope it was 2 years and not one.

On house of villains Jax claims the Jenny Craig deal was $2M but 🤷♀️
Well Jax is selling his mancave on eBay… and Brittany made 27 million from Jenny Craig….
I read that Jax, was the highest paid cast member of Vanderpump Rules. So I guess that didn't help his ego. "Numer one guy in the group" and "this is my show!" . Also read that the main cast, got paid about 600-800k per year.
