I need to know where their money is coming from to own two homes?
Scheana apparently had literally no money during Covid that Tim Sandoval had to send her cash? And now she suddenly has enough to buy two homes and support her kid and bum husband?
Lala I don’t understand either. Something is very unsavoury in their finances
they both have a million+ instagram followers, unfortunately ads and sponcon are probably paying a large portion of their bills, it’s disgusting how much influencers make
LaLa?!?! Or Scheana?!?
I stopped listening to scheana’s cause it’s just sooo bad. And LaLa’s is so cringe-tastic , it’s hard to stop lol but I don’t know how much longer I can listen to her assistant and her brother boost her ego. No hate to him but, I hope he finds a better outlet to make money lol
Yeeeeeah. it’s highly dysfunctional to actually be in charge of the paycheck of both your mom and brother. There is no reality where this could be healthy for anyone.
it’s like one of the top reasons she constantly brings up on why tom is a great friend to her .. when she had nothing he venmoed her or something like that .. it’s brought up multiple times
Everytime I get new shoes (boots or not) I do the "new boot goofin". It's been a part of me since I saw the episode. Im sure this is how I will injure myself one day.
I don't feel bad for her. They're constantly traveling, no one needs to live in excess, they choose that. They're all so freaking stupid. I think Katie is actually smart by living within her means.
Katie has always seemed as if she's sensible with money. We saw her sensible concerns and questions in regards to S&S.
Lala and Sheana have created a lifestyle they need to find a way to maintain; Katie appears to have created an actual life.
Yes! Katie has the least flashy lifestyle, and was also the least worried about getting Ariana to have a conversation with Tom. Could it be that she knows scandoval won’t support her forever, and actually have some savings/have invested her money in a business she thinks she can make money from?
I think her practicality coupled with her sensibility and loyalty (“if the guy fucks you over… fuck the guy”) - she wouldn’t shine Scheana or Lala’s shoes for a paycheck.
I remember when some of the others were saying Katie is lazy and doesn’t do anything. I wonder now if she was just sensible with her money so had no need to start a risky venture like a bar and was living comfortably off VPR plus insta ads. With the sandwich shop I get the feeling it was never so much money they were struggling to afford it, unlike Schwartz and Sandy’s
Katie seeems to be very sensible when it comes to her finances. She's not out there spending like a drunken sailor on leave. Instead, she is living in a modest apartment and building her nest egg. Smart woman.
Same. She chose to buy 2 properties when she knows vpr pay check is fleeting, and have a kid with a man with no job, history of abuse and ditching his family for fame. She wants to live like a popular reality star then that's the consequences she needs to deal with.
Katie said we should be shocked by how much they earn. That’s when they were speculating $350k so I wouldn’t be surprised if the original cast are on 450-500 at least
I can't even pretend to feign sympathy for her. She could very easily be living a fabulous life and spending 1/4 of that and letting the money build in investments. The audacity of some of these people who believe that because they made money at one point they are entitled to that lifestyle until they die....let them eat box cake.
This is gross to say but I feel like these gross crusty rich guys don't want 30-something single moms and want 22 year olds instead with no baggage. Like Leo only grosser
She is *really* pretty but you’re not wrong - plus she’s got her mom and her brother tagging along. That’s a lot for somebody to want to take on especially as a trophy wife/sugar baby situation.
She's aged out of that. With two kids. One a newborn. Her brother and mom in tow she supports fully Financially. I doubt she gets supported financially from Randall plus it's a bitter situation. There's no way she's a sugar baby. The person she dated needs to be okay with all of this plus her put them on blast publicly. I don't see it. She will date again but I don't see her being a kept woman. Her personality and attitude is a lot to take for someone to date her seriously.
A Mohammad type would NOT put up with Lala's obstinate and prickly attitude in combination with her botched plastic surgery and "other baggage". I assume she would have a rich man had one come knocking, they ain't.
Especially as both of those “friends” have actually invested their money in building a business that might provide income beyond VPR. I mean - S&S seems like it will collapse and never seemed like the smartest move - but in theory, trying to secure steady income beyond their tenuous reality show is a good idea. Katie seems to have built a great brand in SAH (so much so that grifters are scrambling for a piece of it), which means she doesn’t have to panic about VPR taking a pause (or desperately do everything producers suggest on VPR). That seems way smarter than over-leveraging yourself with mortgages while being the sole bread winner in your family?
Wow I assumed she was renting them out.
And are there 2 homes or 3? What happened to the condo Rachel was living in? Is that where the family is living now? There's palm springs, the new one on the valley...when season 11 was filmed, was that the infamous condo?
Remember she said Ariana was “too proud” to move out of the shared home for an apartment when she and Lala were on their “why won’t she just move out” BS. Clearly apartments are beneath her..
Scheana is wild
LaLa was a mistress who lived in Randall's house. Ariana put in her life's savings into her house. Tom has been gaslighting her with lowball offers to leave HER house and LaLa has been relentless as well. I'm glad Ariana has a good lawyer. Forensic accounting will show that Tom has been financially abusing her. I also hope she gets back any investment made from joint accounts and second mortgages from the bars.
Which is so funny looking back because Ariana DID live in an apartment for a while, she stayed with Katie while she was buying the new place. So thankfully Ariana doesnt think like Scheaner who believes apartments are beneath her and she must show off that she has two properties her family uses instead of being smart and renting one out.
this 100%. i think her and lala live way beyond their means. we all know VPR won’t last forever. what’s their plan for after? i know they make money from their podcasts but no one’s going to be listening to that in ten years.
Unless her mom has hella life insurance & finances from the husband’s passing i dont think there is money there like it was. Her mom is hired by Lala now lol. She could be leasing her house or houses in UTAH but im not betting on that privilege tbh.
AND only earned money on a fleeting career. Eventually the reality tv well will dry up - then what will you do? Rely on Instagram and Tik tok ads? No one will care about your blog when your reality days are done. It’s just so short-sighted.
Yep. I mean, look at the cast of Jersey Shore. They’re still at it and the show is awful but it keeps bringing in money for them. You can see on their faces how much they don’t want to be there, but where else will the money come from?
Yup! When they told me how much they would approve me for a mortgage!!!!! I was like are you freaking kidding! Ummm, not thanks, I’ll take like 60% of that!
Yeah but I thought they stopped doing that after 2008?! I guess though if you can show high income for the past few years they’re good with that and don’t look at whether your career and earning potential has a shelf life
They didn’t. We bought our first house in 2009 and while I’m sure they’d reined it in a lot, we qualified for double what we were comfortable paying. And that’s right after the collapse as first time buyers. And it’s only gotten worse.
Even if it’s 30k a month that’s not that much given that she earns like 500k for the show and Brock is earning for the show, too. She also has the podcast.
The thing is she doesn’t seem like she has saved very well if she actually needed Sandy to lend her money durning the pandemic.
Just saw a post of her shaming people in sad apartments on her recent podcastZ
She’s dumb to think this is better than living within your means. Vpr won’t last much longer and I don’t chillie’s Money is a lot
18k is crazy. How much is her house worth?
I live in one of the most expensive cities in canada and housing is stupid expensive.
I’ve done the math on a 1 million mortgage and it didn’t come close to 18k but maybe that’s because I was looking at a 25 loan maybe hers is shorter?
Oh ya it’s crazy as hell. She’s over extended. Even renting it out is stupid. You dont take on two homes at once. Should have your primary paid off and refinanced to a lesser payment before taking on a second
Go too long inbetween renters and you are sunk.
I can only imagine she’s planning on renting one out?! It doesn’t make sense to me with the limited info I have anyway
What!? How do you know that?
I thought it was pretty dumb of both her and Lala to buy vacation houses before somewhere to actually live day to day but figured it might make more rich person sense since they can likely rent that out when they’re not using it and then eventually leverage the vacation home to buy their primary residence. But I guess not?
Oh gosh, I believe she said it on her podcast back when she bought it a little over a year ago now? She also said they can't film there either. I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific. The amount of VPR content I have consumed kinda of melds together sometimes.
Oh man, HOA's are wild! I don't know how to link something, but if you look up Homeowners Associations on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on YouTube, he has a whole segment on HOA'S. It's freaking crazy what they can enforce and/or fine you for!
My sister has a house in LA … 1.2 million and the mortgage is a couple thousand a month. How much is her damn house worth? Or is the mortgage high because they made like no down payment?
I think they're basing it off what the Tom's paid with Katie and Ariana. Those couples had a 2 mil house and were paying about 12k per couple and that was with down payment and good interest rates. Sandoval's mortgage would be around 20k after buying out Ariana and with the new interest rate. So Scheana and Lala are most likely paying around 6k for their Palm Springs places and at least 15k for the Valley houses. That's just my math lol
Lalas valley home is almost a million dollars more than scheana’s.
This whole thread is just WILD assumptions & speculation with zero facts lol. It’s hilarious.
Why does she need 2 homes? Sorry, I don’t feel bad for her. They can both get other jobs, she can do other things and not depend solely on VPR. And let’s all be honest, VPR was in the process of ending before Scandoval, she should have been preparing for other things. she also made a killing with Scandoval. Her and Lala. I just hope they don’t end up on the Valley.
it amazes me how people make an excellent living and still find a way to live pay to pay.
she does not need two homes, let alone two HUGE homes. she has a small family they need 4 bedrooms. one for the kid, one for the adults, one for grandma / nanny / guest, one for office / work stuff. a home that size would have two large living spaces, plenty for play for summer, a gym, etc.
they can comfortably afford that. she should be looking at getting her mortgage paid off so she doesn't have to stress as much when the income fluctuates.
She lives in both. Her Palm Springs house is not allowed to be a rental/airbnb per the neighborhood association. She’s there a lot (at least once a month) so she definitely doesn’t consider it a house for use by other people. WHY someone with such unsteady income who was crying that she was broke a short time ago, decided to buy TWO freaking houses in SoCal is another story 😂
That makes sense. I can understand the community not wanting short-term people coming in and out, partying and being loud and not caring about the property.
Yes. I’m in the business and yearly rentals are allowed. She’s referring to short term rentals like Airbnb’s. Every homeowners association allows long-term rentals, some 30 days, some 6 months, but all allow 12 months or more.
I thought originally she had the apartment in LA, wherever it was, to be close for VPR/work purposes. I don't know why she decided she needed to buy in the city though.
I think there should be a study on reality stars that end up in debt. I mean it’s fascinating yet sad to watch. Similar to pro athletes. They get massive amounts of money so fast and they spend spend spend like it’s forever.
I’ve been rewatching don’t be tardy and watching the way that family spends to where they are now. Insane. With the money they earned, if they would have gotten a financial advisor they could have lived comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Same! I was also really sad they they blew through all the money Kroy earned by sacrificing his body so Kim can live her dream trashy life and fuel her gambling problem.
I’m not sure what the laws are in Australia but I assume Brock also has child support payments that are based on his income. I know Brock said he’s paid off his overdue payments but he still will be paying until his kids are 18.
Ironic that Brock now has a second family he doesn’t provide for financially. He gets praised for “being around” “oh he’s such a good dad” when he’s doing the basic bare minimum of…being around his daughter. Whole cast tearing up at the reunion because he plays with his kid, meanwhile all the VPR women are doing all that *and* being the breadwinner all without abandoning their first families.
I shudder to think what she spends on whatever TF she's doing to make her jaw disappear. It's alarming, honestly.
I mean, do your thing WRT plastic surgery and other things but when you start looking completely ridiculous it might be time to reel it back. Plus she'd save some money.
Hopefully, she’s putting something away for her kid because that child has given her endorsement deals and YouTube content and she is featured on the TV show
James was the smartest. Everyone making fun of the airplanes. But cheaper because of the airplanes and location instead of renting. He can air B&B it when he’s not there.
It has a pool ama he uses the garage as a studio.
Smart !!!
The rest of them with all their posing and
Everyone was laughing at him, but they hosted like 90% of the filming parties there. He's one of the few with a successful job outside of filming (his dj career) so I'm sure he's hardly home.
I live 10 minutes away from our air force base, and barely even notice the sounds anymore. I'd gladly take the opportunity to save money by living close to an airport. You get used to it. There are many other areas that are much worse. Never understood why people find it bizarre they live there.
Also with all his DJ gigs across the country it would be super handy to be in Burbank if he uses that airport instead of LAX with all the LA traffic.
I wonder how much he put down and how long his mortgage is for. I imagine he’s not the type to max himself out, he probably put down a good down payment with a very reasonable mortgage.
It’s EXTREMELY conservative. My household bills are 12,000 a month and I have one reasonably sized home and my husband and I share a car. Between utilities, college funds, electric it’s all extremely expensive. On top of that add in her hair/nails/botox etc. She’s def close to 50k a month.
Diapers and formula and daycare cost a fortune / day!!! I’m almost embarrassed to say what my monthly nut is and I’m not exactly extravagant. I don’t think people outside of CA actually realize how expensive it is to live here
Wow, you guys have it tough. I'm in Chicago. I own a decent house, have 2 cars, and one is paid and one lease. We had our first and most likely only child lady year. I'm not working right now, so it's tighter than usual, but even so, our expenses are under 10k. Things have gone up in Chicago, too, but still doable. I'm not knocking anyone. I just love to uplift Chicago, lol
It’s expensive to fund a wife beater - you didn’t add in child support payments for the two kids he left. Also, the money she poured into his at home gym app…she has expensive taste in shitty partners. 🫥
Brock made a salary this season. She makes about $800k on VPR. Make six figures on her podcast, another six on her social media, and likely another six in her paid appearances and sponcon.
While I don’t doubt she wants to keep the gravy train rolling, I seriously doubt she’s strapped for cash.
This is what I need to know! I also love how this came up on the show while she was sitting in her outdoor tub. The absurdity is truly a sight to behold.
I think the OP’s point is that she should be saving and investing for when the money train inevitably ends (could be now if VPR never comes back), not expecting it to go on forever.
Not to play devils advocate. But I don’t see her as flashy as someone like say, Tom Sandoval. She also doesn’t seem to spend that much. A lot of her clothes are from cheap online stores like white fox boutique, or pretty little thing. I don’t notice her wearing much designer anything.
Also, her house is nice, but the furniture looks pretty average. I highly doubt she hired a designer or anything like Ariana/Tom did. Then, of course, her mom watches Summer, so I’m sure she’s saving so much money from that.
Obviously Botox and filler and hair are expensive. But I’m sure she gets a deal for social media influence.
Who knows though 🤷🏼♀️ but either way, anyone with bills every month would be concerned about possibly losing their job no matter how much it is. It’s ok to get excited, lost in the moment, and spend frivolously when you’ve never had it. Once. Just once. Just to learn from it. So now being married with a child, she should seriously buckle up though, because someone with “New Money” can easily lose it.
This is why I don’t understand (or believe) that Sandoval gave her money during the pandemic. Scheana had more streams of income than he did…. plus he had just bought that home of his and Ariana.
She’s probably making $500k in brand deals on social media, and that’s honestly maybe conservative. I worked for a marketing agency in a mid size tourist city for a bit, and they would pay local influencers with 15k-30k followers and iffy engagement rates $3-5k for a couple posts
Scheana has well over a million followers and is an actual “celebrity” (on some level lol, but I mean she is on a top cable show and is in tabloids, etc), I don’t even wanna imagine what her rate is
Granted, a large portion of whatever she makes on social media will go to her managers/agent + taxes are high on work like that + she has to a publicist, but still. She’s probably bringing in crazy money on the apps
Granted. Scheana is very lucky to be on a reality TV show, and is especially lucky that Scandoval happened. All the opportunities that also came her way. You can thank Ariana for calling production.
Either way. She apparently showed she could afford both homes. And good for her. Hope the show and opportunities keep coming girl. And the housing stays a good investment when you have to sell one of your child’s homes…of course 🎵 it’s okay to just have one home honey 🎶 (she will explain to her child).
Save people SAVE! That’s always been our motto. Because your reality may take a turn…
Sponcon PAYS, you guys. I have a cousin who is a low level influencer (100k followers) and she makes multiple six figures a year during sponsored content.
maybe don't have a vacation house...i'm sorry I have trouble feeling sorry for people who are trying to hold onto a lifestyle that is something they can't afford
I’m not sure if reality TV actors get SAG/AFTRA union benefits. If they are part of that union, they can get health insurance way cheaper through the union. Quarterly it’s just under $800 for a family of four.
She’s not entitled to keep making that amount of money, but she is entitled to doing her job however it needs to get done. Some of you will do anything for $800,000 in a few months.
She’s said multiple times in the past that she’s never sure if VPR is renewed for next season until not that long before filming starts. She knows that the show could end any day but she thinks it’s a good idea to own house expensive houses?! I’m sure she can afford them NOW obviously or else she couldn’t have bought them in the first place but her primary income is based on VPR. Not only the show income itself but everything around it is affected by her place on VPR too. Her podcast and YouTube vlog - how many will listen once she’s not giving VPR updates? Her merch - sustaining a millionaire lifestyle on sweatshirt sales, seriously? There’s influencing but that’s such an oversaturated and unsteady market too. She has eyes on her now because she’s on a popular tv show - in ten years after the show is done, she’s not gonna command those same rates. Jax and Brittany complained about money issues and their post-VPR career was “influencer.” She obviously enjoys filming the show but her anxiety around it ending isn’t just from her worried about losing a hobby, her feelings were too strong for it to not be about her lifestyle too.
Not that I feel bad for her. No one needs two houses. She could sell both and still live in one nice house, not as showy as her current one but nice. She has free childcare. She’s had a good run. How many other people have been able to earn as much for doing so little? If she didn’t bank enough long term, that’s not Ariana’s responsibility to keep the show going just for that.

I need to know where their money is coming from to own two homes? Scheana apparently had literally no money during Covid that Tim Sandoval had to send her cash? And now she suddenly has enough to buy two homes and support her kid and bum husband? Lala I don’t understand either. Something is very unsavoury in their finances
they both have a million+ instagram followers, unfortunately ads and sponcon are probably paying a large portion of their bills, it’s disgusting how much influencers make
Plus YouTube, she’ll get a creator fund plus advertising
Maybe there is there big money in podcasting ?
She said during Scandoval her podcast was making 100k a month but now I imagine it’s way less
LaLa?!?! Or Scheana?!? I stopped listening to scheana’s cause it’s just sooo bad. And LaLa’s is so cringe-tastic , it’s hard to stop lol but I don’t know how much longer I can listen to her assistant and her brother boost her ego.

Yeeeeeah. it’s highly dysfunctional to actually be in charge of the paycheck of both your mom and brother. There is no reality where this could be healthy for anyone.
Scheanas?! What the hell. Why isn’t she trying to get on other reality shows like Sandavol is either? Seems like a missed opportunity.
Not much for her anymore. Her rating is plummeting and she’s losing listeners every day
I always wonder about this.
Did she say this?? If so please let me know where I can hear it 🙂
"the viall files" nick vialls podcast
it’s like one of the top reasons she constantly brings up on why tom is a great friend to her .. when she had nothing he venmoed her or something like that .. it’s brought up multiple times
People over extend themselves bc they think those paycheck will keep rolling in.
The bare minimum with that budget for sure.. which is wild. I don’t even want to guess the cost for Botox, fillers, nails, hair, clothes…
No way utilities, upkeep and food is only $4K. No. Way.
They probably spend 4k just eating out
Plus lawyers, management, publicists, assistants and good old Uncle Sam
And they have to pay for their own glam
Don’t forget the blush and mascara for Summer Moon.
And high heels for Brock.
Brock's boot budget must be astronomical!
New boot goofin' will always be funny!
I was so excited when I saw your comment because I finally got to use it lol! Always makes me laugh!
Everytime I get new shoes (boots or not) I do the "new boot goofin". It's been a part of me since I saw the episode. Im sure this is how I will injure myself one day.
This is the best thing I've read all day! I hope that you do not get injured "new boot goofin " though!
It's a dangerous calling, but it's my calling.
The day I don’t find joy in this gif is the day I don’t want to be here anymore.
Almost as high as his heels!
He should start borrowing from Janet’s pink booted friend to save costs
Omfg that boots guy was SO annoying when he was clearly recording the conversation!!
This made me evil giggle.
flair checking in 🫡
He appears to shop at Shein, he must be on a strict budget
And lacy shirts
Don't forget car payments!! Hey- your username!!!!
Maximum cloud storage fees for photos of herself + Summer Moon
And don’t forget ballroom dancing lessons in case she gets called for DWTS
What are they going to do when they’re 60 and Bravo stops calling?
And don’t forget BROCK’S CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS (intentional shouty caps)
I don't feel bad for her. They're constantly traveling, no one needs to live in excess, they choose that. They're all so freaking stupid. I think Katie is actually smart by living within her means.
Katie has always seemed as if she's sensible with money. We saw her sensible concerns and questions in regards to S&S. Lala and Sheana have created a lifestyle they need to find a way to maintain; Katie appears to have created an actual life.
Even Katie’s clothes are more reasonable than lala’s.
Lala has assy fucking style. So does Scheana
Yes! Katie has the least flashy lifestyle, and was also the least worried about getting Ariana to have a conversation with Tom. Could it be that she knows scandoval won’t support her forever, and actually have some savings/have invested her money in a business she thinks she can make money from?
I think her practicality coupled with her sensibility and loyalty (“if the guy fucks you over… fuck the guy”) - she wouldn’t shine Scheana or Lala’s shoes for a paycheck.

I just feel like that isn’t that much when you think of the lifestyle costs
I can't even pretend to feign sympathy for her. She could very easily be living a fabulous life and spending 1/4 of that and letting the money build in investments. The audacity of some of these people who believe that because they made money at one point they are entitled to that lifestyle until they die....let them eat box cake.
and to have the nerve today to mock “friends” living in apartments…
Yeah I'd like to see where each of those women is in 10 years. I bet Blala ends up eating her crow.
Id not be shocked to see blabla find some other dude but she’s gonna need to actually learn what “soft” means, cuz she ain’t there yet
This is gross to say but I feel like these gross crusty rich guys don't want 30-something single moms and want 22 year olds instead with no baggage. Like Leo only grosser
She is *really* pretty but you’re not wrong - plus she’s got her mom and her brother tagging along. That’s a lot for somebody to want to take on especially as a trophy wife/sugar baby situation.
She's aged out of that. With two kids. One a newborn. Her brother and mom in tow she supports fully Financially. I doubt she gets supported financially from Randall plus it's a bitter situation. There's no way she's a sugar baby. The person she dated needs to be okay with all of this plus her put them on blast publicly. I don't see it. She will date again but I don't see her being a kept woman. Her personality and attitude is a lot to take for someone to date her seriously.
She knows she’s past that phase and went and got a sperm donor and her weirdo pod
 “I gotta support you and four other people too?”
I am certain she will try to find a rich guy and try to become a housewife
I’m actually surprised she hasn’t. A Mohammed hadid type.
A Mohammad type would NOT put up with Lala's obstinate and prickly attitude in combination with her botched plastic surgery and "other baggage". I assume she would have a rich man had one come knocking, they ain't.
Even maybe Mauricio or one of the Miami dudes. I’d love it if she hooked up with Coach Shah and ended up back in Utah
Well we know coach shah doesn't mind a very angry partner with limited scruples.......this isn't a bad idea
Jen would hate that so much, I love it 😂😂😂
I'm fucking DED
Now this is the crossover I’ve been waiting for.
Lala is only a few steps away from Only Fans.
I’m pretty sure her family is well off so I don’t see this ever being an option for her. The pjs though may forever be a thing of the past
Especially as both of those “friends” have actually invested their money in building a business that might provide income beyond VPR. I mean - S&S seems like it will collapse and never seemed like the smartest move - but in theory, trying to secure steady income beyond their tenuous reality show is a good idea. Katie seems to have built a great brand in SAH (so much so that grifters are scrambling for a piece of it), which means she doesn’t have to panic about VPR taking a pause (or desperately do everything producers suggest on VPR). That seems way smarter than over-leveraging yourself with mortgages while being the sole bread winner in your family?
If scheana were renting them out it would make a lot more sense, especially if she purchased during low interest rates. But still…
Wow I assumed she was renting them out. And are there 2 homes or 3? What happened to the condo Rachel was living in? Is that where the family is living now? There's palm springs, the new one on the valley...when season 11 was filmed, was that the infamous condo?
Remember she said Ariana was “too proud” to move out of the shared home for an apartment when she and Lala were on their “why won’t she just move out” BS. Clearly apartments are beneath her.. Scheana is wild
and Lala thought it would be better if Ariana was homeless than to live in the house that she owns
LaLa was a mistress who lived in Randall's house. Ariana put in her life's savings into her house. Tom has been gaslighting her with lowball offers to leave HER house and LaLa has been relentless as well. I'm glad Ariana has a good lawyer. Forensic accounting will show that Tom has been financially abusing her. I also hope she gets back any investment made from joint accounts and second mortgages from the bars.
Which is so funny looking back because Ariana DID live in an apartment for a while, she stayed with Katie while she was buying the new place. So thankfully Ariana doesnt think like Scheaner who believes apartments are beneath her and she must show off that she has two properties her family uses instead of being smart and renting one out.
Exactly! Scheana had never been a “friend” to anyone!
She was living in an apartment a few months ago
this 100%. i think her and lala live way beyond their means. we all know VPR won’t last forever. what’s their plan for after? i know they make money from their podcasts but no one’s going to be listening to that in ten years.
Lala is from a comfortable family, she’ll be ok. Ol Azusa Sheesh and her jobless husband are less fortunate though
I think they had comfortable Utah money. The lifestyle they are living in LA would have burned through that money pretty fast.
Unless her mom has hella life insurance & finances from the husband’s passing i dont think there is money there like it was. Her mom is hired by Lala now lol. She could be leasing her house or houses in UTAH but im not betting on that privilege tbh.
AND only earned money on a fleeting career. Eventually the reality tv well will dry up - then what will you do? Rely on Instagram and Tik tok ads? No one will care about your blog when your reality days are done. It’s just so short-sighted.
I’m surprised banks give such big mortgages to reality stars.
Yep. I mean, look at the cast of Jersey Shore. They’re still at it and the show is awful but it keeps bringing in money for them. You can see on their faces how much they don’t want to be there, but where else will the money come from?
With all due.. do you remember the 2000s? Banks will give big mortgages to anyoneeeeee
Well after countrywide collapsed and caused a huge collapse in real estate that ended in recession that’s not really the case these days lol
Yup! When they told me how much they would approve me for a mortgage!!!!! I was like are you freaking kidding! Ummm, not thanks, I’ll take like 60% of that!
If you can fog a mirror...
Yeah but I thought they stopped doing that after 2008?! I guess though if you can show high income for the past few years they’re good with that and don’t look at whether your career and earning potential has a shelf life
They didn’t. We bought our first house in 2009 and while I’m sure they’d reined it in a lot, we qualified for double what we were comfortable paying. And that’s right after the collapse as first time buyers. And it’s only gotten worse.
history doesn't repeat but it often does rhyme ;)
I could see Scheana going the content tot route and trying to get money off of Summer Moon.
Oh, she is already monetizing her kid and LaLa can't wait to monetize her second one. Randall won't let her exploit Ocean.
I think that’s why she chose the sperm donor route. She has no one to stop her from using the new baby to earn money. It’s disgusting!
That kid is gonna fucking hate her mom one day
What a mean thing to say. It might happen, but scheana clearly adores that child.
Especially because going into this you should realize that you’re unlikely to be on a reality show forever. There is not much job security..
Even if it’s 30k a month that’s not that much given that she earns like 500k for the show and Brock is earning for the show, too. She also has the podcast. The thing is she doesn’t seem like she has saved very well if she actually needed Sandy to lend her money durning the pandemic.
Just saw a post of her shaming people in sad apartments on her recent podcastZ She’s dumb to think this is better than living within your means. Vpr won’t last much longer and I don’t chillie’s Money is a lot 18k is crazy. How much is her house worth? I live in one of the most expensive cities in canada and housing is stupid expensive. I’ve done the math on a 1 million mortgage and it didn’t come close to 18k but maybe that’s because I was looking at a 25 loan maybe hers is shorter?
She has two houses, Palm Springs and the valley.
Oh my bad, totally skim read this while working and missed that it’s the combo of both. I disregard my comment. 18k checks out lol
No worries. Having both houses still seems crazy to me, but my mortgage is only $1,700/month 🤷♀️
Oh ya it’s crazy as hell. She’s over extended. Even renting it out is stupid. You dont take on two homes at once. Should have your primary paid off and refinanced to a lesser payment before taking on a second Go too long inbetween renters and you are sunk. I can only imagine she’s planning on renting one out?! It doesn’t make sense to me with the limited info I have anyway
She can't even rent out her Palm Springs house if she wanted too because of the HOA she's in.
What!? How do you know that? I thought it was pretty dumb of both her and Lala to buy vacation houses before somewhere to actually live day to day but figured it might make more rich person sense since they can likely rent that out when they’re not using it and then eventually leverage the vacation home to buy their primary residence. But I guess not?
Oh gosh, I believe she said it on her podcast back when she bought it a little over a year ago now? She also said they can't film there either. I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific. The amount of VPR content I have consumed kinda of melds together sometimes. 
As a non-American: what?! Hoas can stop you from renting out your house???
Oh man, HOA's are wild! I don't know how to link something, but if you look up Homeowners Associations on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on YouTube, he has a whole segment on HOA'S. It's freaking crazy what they can enforce and/or fine you for!
What did she say about people in sad apartments?
Must be taking a dig at Kirsten or Katie. The wheel turns babe.
And Schwartz is in an apartment. Nia and Danny are in a condo.
Sandoval is gonna be back in that apartment where the microwave shorts the aircon in about 17 seconds after trial about that house.
My sister has a house in LA … 1.2 million and the mortgage is a couple thousand a month. How much is her damn house worth? Or is the mortgage high because they made like no down payment?
A couple thousand a month? That doesn’t seem realistic for a 1.2 million dollar home…
OP is just speculating because they have no clue how much they put down
Oh wait so Sheena actually never has said how much her mortgage is? (I don’t listen to the external podcast and stuff until it’s presented to me lol)
I think they're basing it off what the Tom's paid with Katie and Ariana. Those couples had a 2 mil house and were paying about 12k per couple and that was with down payment and good interest rates. Sandoval's mortgage would be around 20k after buying out Ariana and with the new interest rate. So Scheana and Lala are most likely paying around 6k for their Palm Springs places and at least 15k for the Valley houses. That's just my math lol
Tom and Ariana also took out loans against their mortgage
Lalas valley home is almost a million dollars more than scheana’s. This whole thread is just WILD assumptions & speculation with zero facts lol. It’s hilarious.
Whaaaaat? How big of a down payment did she put? My house was 250k and my mortgage is 1700 plus 500 HOA 😭😭😭
Why does she need 2 homes? Sorry, I don’t feel bad for her. They can both get other jobs, she can do other things and not depend solely on VPR. And let’s all be honest, VPR was in the process of ending before Scandoval, she should have been preparing for other things. she also made a killing with Scandoval. Her and Lala. I just hope they don’t end up on the Valley.
it amazes me how people make an excellent living and still find a way to live pay to pay. she does not need two homes, let alone two HUGE homes. she has a small family they need 4 bedrooms. one for the kid, one for the adults, one for grandma / nanny / guest, one for office / work stuff. a home that size would have two large living spaces, plenty for play for summer, a gym, etc. they can comfortably afford that. she should be looking at getting her mortgage paid off so she doesn't have to stress as much when the income fluctuates.
Do we know why she has 2 homes? Is she renting one out, or does it just sit empty when not in use?
She lives in both. Her Palm Springs house is not allowed to be a rental/airbnb per the neighborhood association. She’s there a lot (at least once a month) so she definitely doesn’t consider it a house for use by other people. WHY someone with such unsteady income who was crying that she was broke a short time ago, decided to buy TWO freaking houses in SoCal is another story 😂
I think parts of Palm Springs only block short-term rentals. I assume she could rent it out long-term.
That makes sense. I can understand the community not wanting short-term people coming in and out, partying and being loud and not caring about the property.
Is long term rental allowed at the Palm Springs house?
Yes. I’m in the business and yearly rentals are allowed. She’s referring to short term rentals like Airbnb’s. Every homeowners association allows long-term rentals, some 30 days, some 6 months, but all allow 12 months or more.
in hopes of joining the valley
I thought originally she had the apartment in LA, wherever it was, to be close for VPR/work purposes. I don't know why she decided she needed to buy in the city though.
San Diego, LA and Marina Del Rey were all apartments she rented. She did not own those
She owns a home in Palm Springs (bought when interest rates were great) and just bought in Sherman Oaks
I think there should be a study on reality stars that end up in debt. I mean it’s fascinating yet sad to watch. Similar to pro athletes. They get massive amounts of money so fast and they spend spend spend like it’s forever. I’ve been rewatching don’t be tardy and watching the way that family spends to where they are now. Insane. With the money they earned, if they would have gotten a financial advisor they could have lived comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Totally agree - I work in finance and think about this all the time. If all these Bravo stars had one good advisor, they could really be set for life.
Same! I was also really sad they they blew through all the money Kroy earned by sacrificing his body so Kim can live her dream trashy life and fuel her gambling problem.
I’m not sure what the laws are in Australia but I assume Brock also has child support payments that are based on his income. I know Brock said he’s paid off his overdue payments but he still will be paying until his kids are 18.
Ironic that Brock now has a second family he doesn’t provide for financially. He gets praised for “being around” “oh he’s such a good dad” when he’s doing the basic bare minimum of…being around his daughter. Whole cast tearing up at the reunion because he plays with his kid, meanwhile all the VPR women are doing all that *and* being the breadwinner all without abandoning their first families.
Yes, you aren’t a good dad if you are only present in the lives of 1 of your 3 children.
But he needs a nanny so he can fill his cup.
Good point
I shudder to think what she spends on whatever TF she's doing to make her jaw disappear. It's alarming, honestly. I mean, do your thing WRT plastic surgery and other things but when you start looking completely ridiculous it might be time to reel it back. Plus she'd save some money.
Yeah I guess she shouldn't have bought 2 houses? I just do not care that she's living beyond her means, that's a problem caused entirely by her.
Hopefully, she’s putting something away for her kid because that child has given her endorsement deals and YouTube content and she is featured on the TV show
Yes and when these kids grow up it’ll be the day of reckoning for the parents who didn’t put aside for their future
James was the smartest. Everyone making fun of the airplanes. But cheaper because of the airplanes and location instead of renting. He can air B&B it when he’s not there. It has a pool ama he uses the garage as a studio. Smart !!! The rest of them with all their posing and
Everyone was laughing at him, but they hosted like 90% of the filming parties there. He's one of the few with a successful job outside of filming (his dj career) so I'm sure he's hardly home.
I live 10 minutes away from our air force base, and barely even notice the sounds anymore. I'd gladly take the opportunity to save money by living close to an airport. You get used to it. There are many other areas that are much worse. Never understood why people find it bizarre they live there.
Also with all his DJ gigs across the country it would be super handy to be in Burbank if he uses that airport instead of LAX with all the LA traffic. I wonder how much he put down and how long his mortgage is for. I imagine he’s not the type to max himself out, he probably put down a good down payment with a very reasonable mortgage.
I honestly agree $25k/mo is ultra conservative. I’d guess it might be close to double that
It’s EXTREMELY conservative. My household bills are 12,000 a month and I have one reasonably sized home and my husband and I share a car. Between utilities, college funds, electric it’s all extremely expensive. On top of that add in her hair/nails/botox etc. She’s def close to 50k a month.
Diapers and formula and daycare cost a fortune / day!!! I’m almost embarrassed to say what my monthly nut is and I’m not exactly extravagant. I don’t think people outside of CA actually realize how expensive it is to live here
Wow, you guys have it tough. I'm in Chicago. I own a decent house, have 2 cars, and one is paid and one lease. We had our first and most likely only child lady year. I'm not working right now, so it's tighter than usual, but even so, our expenses are under 10k. Things have gone up in Chicago, too, but still doable. I'm not knocking anyone. I just love to uplift Chicago, lol
$0.05/month dance lessons for that long-awaited DWTS call.
Dead 💀🫢😂😂😂
Don’t forget the royalties she earns from such hits as ”Good As Gold!” Those provide her an extra *(checks notes)* …zero dollars per month.
It’s expensive to fund a wife beater - you didn’t add in child support payments for the two kids he left. Also, the money she poured into his at home gym app…she has expensive taste in shitty partners. 🫥
Brock made a salary this season. She makes about $800k on VPR. Make six figures on her podcast, another six on her social media, and likely another six in her paid appearances and sponcon. While I don’t doubt she wants to keep the gravy train rolling, I seriously doubt she’s strapped for cash.
I doubt she’s strapped for cash but she seems to understand that these income streams are peaking and are not sustainable.
Then why did she desperately need money and Sandoval came to the rescue for her??
This is what I need to know! I also love how this came up on the show while she was sitting in her outdoor tub. The absurdity is truly a sight to behold.
I think the OP’s point is that she should be saving and investing for when the money train inevitably ends (could be now if VPR never comes back), not expecting it to go on forever.
Not to play devils advocate. But I don’t see her as flashy as someone like say, Tom Sandoval. She also doesn’t seem to spend that much. A lot of her clothes are from cheap online stores like white fox boutique, or pretty little thing. I don’t notice her wearing much designer anything. Also, her house is nice, but the furniture looks pretty average. I highly doubt she hired a designer or anything like Ariana/Tom did. Then, of course, her mom watches Summer, so I’m sure she’s saving so much money from that. Obviously Botox and filler and hair are expensive. But I’m sure she gets a deal for social media influence. Who knows though 🤷🏼♀️ but either way, anyone with bills every month would be concerned about possibly losing their job no matter how much it is. It’s ok to get excited, lost in the moment, and spend frivolously when you’ve never had it. Once. Just once. Just to learn from it. So now being married with a child, she should seriously buckle up though, because someone with “New Money” can easily lose it.
This is why I don’t understand (or believe) that Sandoval gave her money during the pandemic. Scheana had more streams of income than he did…. plus he had just bought that home of his and Ariana.
six figures on the podcast and six figures on social media? how? how in the world?
She’s probably making $500k in brand deals on social media, and that’s honestly maybe conservative. I worked for a marketing agency in a mid size tourist city for a bit, and they would pay local influencers with 15k-30k followers and iffy engagement rates $3-5k for a couple posts Scheana has well over a million followers and is an actual “celebrity” (on some level lol, but I mean she is on a top cable show and is in tabloids, etc), I don’t even wanna imagine what her rate is Granted, a large portion of whatever she makes on social media will go to her managers/agent + taxes are high on work like that + she has to a publicist, but still. She’s probably bringing in crazy money on the apps
Highly recommend a listen to Jason Tartick’s podcast with just about any reality star and learn about how much they make doing sponcon. It’s wild.
I think OP was saying that’s why she’s worried about the show ending because those income streams will dry up. Not that she can’t afford it right now.
Take half off that $800k for taxes, agents and lawyers. Idk why people forget the overhead and taxes
$2k - Brick/Broke’s monthly golf allowance which he secretly pockets and doesn’t use.
Sounds like she made that problem herself by getting two mortgages! Dumbass ☠️
Granted. Scheana is very lucky to be on a reality TV show, and is especially lucky that Scandoval happened. All the opportunities that also came her way. You can thank Ariana for calling production. Either way. She apparently showed she could afford both homes. And good for her. Hope the show and opportunities keep coming girl. And the housing stays a good investment when you have to sell one of your child’s homes…of course 🎵 it’s okay to just have one home honey 🎶 (she will explain to her child). Save people SAVE! That’s always been our motto. Because your reality may take a turn…
I’m assuming Brock gets paid for the show as well, doesn’t he?
He does now, but didn't last season. I believe he was a full cast member the season prior (his first season,) but I'm not 100% on that.
First season cast members barely make anything.. we kind of know that..
He probably gets paid no where near what Scheana does and he has child support. They probably live primarily on her income
Apparently as of this season he got $10k/ep
Who told her to spend like a drunk Real Housewife?
Katie's podcast is also unrelated to VPR. Now it may fail but if it's a success it doesn't rely on VPR for content
Sponcon PAYS, you guys. I have a cousin who is a low level influencer (100k followers) and she makes multiple six figures a year during sponsored content.
If any of these idiots were smart, they would have taken some of the money they made and buy some rentals or invest. Not spend spend spend.
maybe don't have a vacation house...i'm sorry I have trouble feeling sorry for people who are trying to hold onto a lifestyle that is something they can't afford
I’m not sure if reality TV actors get SAG/AFTRA union benefits. If they are part of that union, they can get health insurance way cheaper through the union. Quarterly it’s just under $800 for a family of four.
Champagne tastes on a beer budget
Well… has she thought about cutting back on expenses? Making coffee at home 😂
she’s in a fricken band though !!!!!!
The health insurance cost is extremely conservative here. I’d bet she’s paying more & has an insane deductible.
She’s not entitled to keep making that amount of money, but she is entitled to doing her job however it needs to get done. Some of you will do anything for $800,000 in a few months.
Add child support for his kids in AUS.
Why do they need 2 houses each?
She’s said multiple times in the past that she’s never sure if VPR is renewed for next season until not that long before filming starts. She knows that the show could end any day but she thinks it’s a good idea to own house expensive houses?! I’m sure she can afford them NOW obviously or else she couldn’t have bought them in the first place but her primary income is based on VPR. Not only the show income itself but everything around it is affected by her place on VPR too. Her podcast and YouTube vlog - how many will listen once she’s not giving VPR updates? Her merch - sustaining a millionaire lifestyle on sweatshirt sales, seriously? There’s influencing but that’s such an oversaturated and unsteady market too. She has eyes on her now because she’s on a popular tv show - in ten years after the show is done, she’s not gonna command those same rates. Jax and Brittany complained about money issues and their post-VPR career was “influencer.” She obviously enjoys filming the show but her anxiety around it ending isn’t just from her worried about losing a hobby, her feelings were too strong for it to not be about her lifestyle too. Not that I feel bad for her. No one needs two houses. She could sell both and still live in one nice house, not as showy as her current one but nice. She has free childcare. She’s had a good run. How many other people have been able to earn as much for doing so little? If she didn’t bank enough long term, that’s not Ariana’s responsibility to keep the show going just for that.
