Second up is Vicki Gunvalson from The Real Housewives of Orange County, who makes $450,000, followed by castmate Tamra Barney at $350,000 and Gretchen Rossi at $300,000. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills den mom — Lisa Vanderpump — snatches away a cool $250,000 a paycheck followed closely by castmates Kyle Richards and Adrienne Maloof at $200,000.

The smallest reward for all her "work"?

Newcomer Heather Dubrow on Orange County at $30,000 a season. Heather — ask for a raise! Even Brandi Glanville (who was only a "friend of the housewives") pocketed $125,000.
