Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules took Raquel Leviss from a reality TV star to a household name. She first appeared on Vanderpump Rules in Season 5, helping boost her income as well as profile. At just 28 years old she has a staggering net worth that is estimated to be around $30 million.
Her months-long affair with Tom Sandoval's when he was still with Ariana Madix has to be one of the messiest reality TV moments in years. As a result, she has become headline news, but has it impacted her net worth?

A source told the Daily Mail, "Upon the completion of filming the reunion, Raquel entered a voluntary inpatient behavioral health and trauma facility and remains there to date - 68 days and counting."
Experts say that if she makes the right choices in her next career move, she could make a huge income from being one of the most hated women on American TV. Currently, she is staying out of the spotlight which has impacted her sponsorship deals and her income.
How Raquel Leviss Started Building Her Net Worth
The Sur hostess has a passion for pageants, something she competed in as recently as 2022. Raquel Leviss competed in her last competition, the 2022 Miss California pageant, where she placed as a semi-finalist. “You may know me as ‘the pageant girl,’ but my one wish is to debunk the stereotype that comes to mind.”
She also won Miss Sonoma County in 2016, which is where she grew up and went to college before competing in Miss Malibu USA. She was forced to retire as many pageants do not accept women over 27 years old to compete.
The Bravo star also had a lucrative modeling career before appearing on Vanderpump Rules. She started modeling in 2012 and appeared on the runway in Paris Fashion Week. “In the past two months, I walked for another designer in Paris Fashion Week, which was a dream come true,” she shared on her social media. “And then I shot some looks in Paris, and it’s been unreal. I’m loving my modeling career,” she added.
She also described how she loved working as a model and mentioned her earlier dance career. “I love walking the runway and I used to be a dancer and I love performing in front of people, so I feel like when you walk the runway it’s very similar, that kind of performance aspect.”

Leviss has not posted on her Instagram since March 8, since the scandal broke. It's likely that many brands have cut ties with the waitress as her reputation has been severely damaged by the cheating scandal.
In fact, brands have been actively mocking the star since the news that she was having a months-long affair. “PSA: THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED POST,” Béis wrote on an Instagram post with Leviss carrying their bag after she was rumored to be leaving Sandoval's. The brand added, “We provide the bag not the baggage.
What Happened To Raquel Leviss' Eyeshadow Collaboration With Lala Kent?
In May 2022, Raquel Leviss teamed with her Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent to create an eyeshadow palette for her brand Lala Beauty. The palette was called Bambi-Eye B****, inspired by their dramatic Season 7 fight where Kent describes Leviss as a "Bambi b****."
However, Lala has since revealed that “everything had to go” in light of the cheating scandal. Lala admitted that she didn't want to promote Raquel on her beauty website anymore.
Kent joked that she thought she was going to have to set the remaining product on fire. She put the palette on sale, begging her followers to buy the remaining products. The eyeshadow palette sold out within the first 24 hours of the sale.
Did Scandoval Cost The Cast Of Vanderpump Rules Income?
Raquel Leviss' reputation has been hugely hit by the affair which has affected her income, but has it impacted anyone else involved?
Vanderpump Rules has become one of the biggest shows on TV, with season 11 being hotly anticipated. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the core cast of the show was “barely netting $10,000 for their participation in the entire first season,” but they went through negotiations in 2017 and 2018 and started being paid $25,000 per episode.
Raquel's former best friend and the girlfriend of Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, has recently been raking big bucks with endorsement deals, a movie role, and a six-figure merchandise line. The 37-year-old just filmed a commercial for Duracell batteries and appeared on the cover of Glamour magazine.
Speaking to the outlet, Ariana Madix admitted that she was determined to make as much money off the cheating scandal as possible. "I want to make enough money to be able to take care of my mom and my brother and any other family members who may or may not need it," she explained. "I never want to worry about it ever, ever, ever. So I will work as much as possible to not have to."
Tom Sandoval’s cover band, “Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras,” was struggling to fill seats amid backlash over his bombshell affair with Raquel. The band was forced to offer a 2-for-1 ticket deal for their Long Island show after only selling out half of the New York auditorium with just hours left before the show started.
Tom told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020 how appearing on the Bravo show changed his life. “It starts as club appearances, and suddenly you’re paid to post on social. " Of course, this will diminish if people see you play a villain on TV and cheat on your girlfriend of nine years.
