Real Housewives stars live fabulously once they become staples on Bravo, but the trade-off includes scrutiny, friendship breakups, divorces, and more.
The Big Picture Reality TV has provided a platform for individuals to showcase their lives, personalities, and, often, their drama. The Real Housewives franchise, in particular, has gained immense popularity for its portrayal of affluent women living extravagant lives. However, the hefty paychecks that come with this fame often have a high price, including divorce, shattered friendships, and even encounters with the law and jail time.

Their lifestyles don't change significantly due to their show income, instead, it expands. They typically go from middle class, to Hollywood. Indeed, they enjoy the attention and celebrity status that participation in the franchise earns them.

However, many fans of the show remained skeptical of Jayne's claims, particularly after it was revealed that she had racked up over $25 million on American Express bill, payments to assistants, and her glam squad. This legal turmoil took a toll on her public image, but the $500,000 she earned per season provided some consolation amid the storm.
Vicki Gunvalson of The Real Housewives of Orange County and her husband Donn seemed like a great match. The two even renewed their vows during Season 5 in Turks & Caicos, but in 2010 Vicki filed for divorce after 16 years of marriage. She partly blamed the show for causing stress in their marriage. Her relationship with Brooks Ayers also contributed to their breakup.
