Lisa Rinna Makes History With Real Housewives Salary Demands: How Much Do Days Of Our Lives Stars Earn?

Days Of Our Lives star Lisa Rinna views herself as an extremely valuable Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills cast member. And the actress just proved her self-worth by making history with her salary demands. As a result, some fans wonder how Lisa’s Real Housewives salary request compares to her Days Of Our Lives wages portraying Billie Reed.

Find out how much money Rinna wants to return to Real Housewives next season. And learn how much Days Of Our Lives stars earn. Get all the details below.

Lisa Rinna – Wants Highest Real Housewives Salary In History

Days Of Our Lives star Lisa Rinna never tried to hide her love of money. But Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills fans who want Rinna fired got even more outraged at her salary demands. Because according to the Sun, Lisa wants $2 million to return to Real Housewives next season.

And if Bravo producers agree, the Days Of Our Lives star, 59, will set a new salary record for the network. In addition to the Real Housewives franchise, Bravo produces the Below Deck series, Southern Charm, Vanderpump Rules, Winter House, and Summer House. However, Rinna takes a risk in making those salary demands.

And the Days Of Our Lives star reportedly insisted that if Bravo won’t make her the highest-paid Real Housewives star in the network’s history, she’ll quit. But Lisa’s risk may pay off, revealed an insider. Because “Bravo needs Lisa more than Lisa needs Bravo. She was a star before Bravo and will be a star long after Bravo too,” asserted the source.

Hollywood Teaches Lisa Rinna How To Negotiate

Working on Days Of Our Lives as well as Real Housewives gave Lisa valuable negotiating experience. As a result, the insider feels that the Hollywood entertainment industry helped Rinna recognize her value. And the insider compared Lisa to the other Real Housewives stars.

“Lisa knows her worth and knows how to negotiate. Only Lisa is willing to call their bluff and walk away if she doesn’t get the deal she wants. While the other ladies are frightened to upset Andy [Cohen], Lisa is fearless. She’s not frightened of him or anyone else,” said the source.

However, Bravo reportedly continues to negotiate with Rinna over that $2 million salary demand. And if the network agrees, it would take a risk. Because it could mean other top Real Housewives stars demanding their own salary increases. For instance, Real Housewives Of Atlanta star Kandi Burruss already makes just under $2 million. 

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Salaries Depend On Longevity

So if Rinna doesn’t get what she wants, will she turn back to Days Of Our Lives and seek to boost her income there? Days Of Our Lives pays cast members between $1,500 to $3,000 per episode. However, actors who remain loyal to the soap opera can earn about $5,000 per episode, according to Cheat Sheet.

And Days Of Our Lives cast members face demanding schedules. Filming over seven episodes each week, Days Of Our Lives demands more from its main characters than those who only appear occasionally. For instance, Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) devoted decades to Days of Our Lives. As a result, her income estimates range near $40,000 per week. 

But Rinna’s experience on Days Of Our Lives shows the actress in more of a come-and-go mode. If she wants to equal her Real Housewives salary demands, Lisa might need to make a choice.
