Tom Sandoval Post-Scandal — What’s His Net Worth?

Reality star Tom Sandoval is an original cast member of the Bravo series Vanderpump Rules, which debuted in 2013 and is still going strong — some would say, stronger than ever.

The reason behind the show being in the headlines at a dizzying rate in its tenth season has a lot to do with Tom, and the cheating scandal that saw him coupled up with co-star Raquel Leviss — while he was living with Ariana Madix.

Although it’s rumored that Tom is (or should be) leaving the show that made him famous, the Scandoval featured player has already amassed a decent net worth given his TV exposure and other pursuits.

Read on to find out how much Tom is worth.

Vanderpump Rules matriarch Lisa Vanderpump is said to be worth a jaw-dropping $90 million.

Tom Sandoval can’t touch that — but he isn’t exactly hurting for money either. While Tom used to simply mix drinks at Lisa’s L.A. restaurants, he now gets paid a rumored $25,000 per episode of the show (some insiders say it’s as much as $30,000), and no longer works as a server at SUR.

Tom also owns a 5 percent stake in one of Lisa’s bars, TomTom, which they co-own with Tom Schwartz. All told, Tom Sandoval is worth an estimated $4 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

Tom is the first person to admit his life has changed since becoming a household name. “It starts as club appearances, and suddenly you’re paid to post on social. A lot changes,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2020.

But Tom’s financial situation may shift again since it was revealed that he cheated on Ariana, with whom he shares a home.

As a rep told People about the $2 million property the exes purchased in 2019, “They own the house together, and what happens next with the property will take time to sort out. This isn’t something that’s going to be decided in a weekend.”

But cringe-inducingly, it has been well publicized that Tom used their home as collateral when taking out a loan to open a second bar — more on that in a moment.

First, Ariana claimed in 2021 that this fact wouldn’t affect her — and Lisa had some thoughts.

“I’m not sure that Ariana quite understands the concept of putting your house up as collateral,” the businesswoman opined. “If they default on their loan, then the bank never goes and takes half the house back. It’s like, ‘Ariana, you stay in bed. We only want Tom’s half.’ It doesn’t work like that.”
