Even amongst a reality television universe built on conspicuous consumption (with enough luxury brand labels to constitute an entire Gucci warehouse), it’s The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsErika Jayne who is decidedly the most conspicuous.

Throughout her eight-season run on the Bravo mainstay, Jayne has made no secret of her spending habits, donning customised outfits, boarding private jets, and parading a glam squad that reportedly cost her $40,000 per month in 2018.

The fallout of her divorce from the once-prolific (and exceedingly wealthy) lawyer Tom Girardi shook-up her finances in 2021, but with the new, thirteenth season of RHOBH set to premiere on October 25, it’s an opportune time to take a closer look at Erika Jayne’s net worth.

What is Real Housewives Erika Jayne’s net worth?

Much of Erika Jayne’s net worth — which is said to be $5 million — is derived from her appearance on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which she joined in its sixth season in 2015. According to Women’s Health, Jayne is paid a reported $600,000 per season of RHOBH, which across six instalments amounts to some $3.6 million.

For reference, fellow RHOBH castmates like Kyle Richards and Lisa Rinna were reportedly paid $500,000 per season, while Kandi Burruss of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is Bravo’s highest-paid Housewife with an estimated $2 million per season pay check. It’s important to note that while exceedingly high, Jayne’s net worth is just a fraction of her ex-husband’s, which was said to be around $264 million prior to his legal woes.

Since they didn’t sign a prenuptial agreement, that net worth could have been attributed to Jayne, and included ownership in two private planes, $9 million worth in jewellery, $3 million worth in antiques and a dizzying amount in real estate assets. Outside of Girardi — whose legal fees following his 2021 downfall are said to exceed $110 million — Jayne earns some of her net worth through various non-RHOBH ventures.

Erika Jayne’s namesake music persona was launched in 2007 with the debut single “Stars”. From there, Jayne’s profile continued to grow, with her biggest songs “How Many F***s,” “Pretty Mess,” and “Xxpensive” now boasting millions of streams. Some of her discography has climbed to the number one spot on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart, with royalties also earned from her YouTube views which reach within the millions.

Along the music line, Jayne was cast as Roxie Hart in the Broadway musical Chicago in 2020. While a specific salary remains unclear, it has been reported that Jayne was paid handsomely for the role, despite the production being shut down weeks out from its finale due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Elsewhere, Jayne released a commercially successful book titled Pretty Mess in 2018, which became a New York Times best-seller and no-doubt earned her a sizable paycheck. In terms of brand deals, Jayne has partnered with companies like ShoeDazzle and the Savage x Fenty lingerie line, with her sponsored social media posts also contributing to her net worth.

More recently, Jayne has embarked on a Las Vegas concert residency titled ‘Bet It All on Blonde’, which wraps up in December and costs anywhere between $14 to $69 per ticket.
