Nene Leakes Makes More Than Tori Spelling

August 19, 2019 by tamaratattles 30 Comments

Tori SpellingHow is that for a jarring headline? Today a court has ordered that American Express can seize more than $88,000 dollars from Tori Spelling’s bank account to cover charges she has racked up over many years. First of all, how the heck did she get to keep on running up the bill? I presume they shut her off rather quickly. But that is a lot of designer shoes and five start vacations for her and her brood. I’ll never understand how people accrue such debt.

But for me the real shocker was her pay for BH90210. Due to the filing by American Express, Tori Spelling’s pay rate was made public. She gets $70,000 per episode plus an additional $15,000 per episode for co-creating the show.  So it will take just over one episode to pay this off. BH90210 has already been renewed for a second season. So she should be fine even though a bank has been coming after her for failure to pay he mortgage of $400K. If she is smart, she will pay that off right away.

The thing that really got me is that Nene Leakes makes more than Tori Spelling per episode and there are way more RHOA episodes than there are episodes of BH90210. Nene negotiated her contract despite it not even being up for negotiation to get just a bit over $100K an episode. And she has a Most Favored Nation clause in her contract. Bethenny Frankel has a similarly high pay rate for RHONY.

Nene is not the highest pay reality show personality though. That still goes to the Kardashians. All of them, make a lot more per episode than Nene. A lot more.

Are you surprised that Tori Spelling makes less than Nene Leakes? I am glad for her children’s sake that Tori has a job again.

RadarOnline was the first to report on the judgment against Tori Spelling.

    Uh….no. Who’s checking for Tori and her overproductive ovaries?? Y’all may not like Nene, but she keeps tongues a-waggin’ and keyboards ablaze.

    I feel like Nene is so over!!
    She is the main reason I haven’t watched Atlanta in years.
    (Quit watching all the teen moms too due to the horrible behavior of so many of them)
    Guess I am in the minority ?‍♀️
    Probably won’t tune into BH90210 either 😉

      I agree about Nene. I just can’t do it.

      Maybe I’m in the minority but I’m quite enjoying 90210 how it’s kinda/sorta real life.

      @Jen: Same. I just can no longer do the franchise from my beloved hometown and it is solely due to that Raman wig wearing psycho.
      As for 90210…I am hoping to keep my “Never have I ever” record for it in tact. I have never seen an episode of the first one from the 90s, and I don’t plan on it this time.

      Nene was a big reason I stopped watching years ago, hiring Marlo the convicted violent felon didn’t help. I never thought I’d read only the recaps but I come here all the time because I like the commenters and TT is freaken hysterical.

      Jen, Sliceo’Pie, ‘Im w you ladies, NeNe was one of the biggest reasons I quit Atlanta, plus other reasons. I have not missed it yet felt guilty about at the time because of TT Its similar to the OC and Vicky, her screaming had me going out the door. Plus her lying. Ive dealt personally with a lying family member and I can not anymore. Vicky was so emotionally immature is was difficult to watch her.
      Tori I did watch for years, she has a huge spending problem and she knows it. Being she is self aware I hope she has gotten therapy. $80,000 is not a huge amount on American Express, guessing they cut her off quickly

    Never quite got Tori Speiling. I know her Dad was some hot shot. Her personal problems with her family kept her front and center. But, dang, that girl cannot act to save a penny. She is not talented in the way where she should make a lot of money. Maybe she is a better producer or something. So, I mean NeNe can be entertaining and such

    I am just saying, if you don’t have a retirement fund whether you are 19 or 99 you are doing it all wrong. The younger you start the better off you will be. You also need a savings account. No matter who you marry, or if you turn out to be an old maid like me. YOU WILL NEED THAT MONEY. If you only put in $29 bucks a month, YOU MUST DO THIS NOW. I can’t stress enough how important it is…

    I do not think Tori can act, but I agree I’m glad for her kids. She needs help getting/keeping her finances in order though. She’s always had difficulty living within her means. That being said, I have always felt bad for her. She was never taught how to live within her means. She grew up in a mega mansion, w/servants, shopping on Rodeo. Then, it all came to an abrupt end. Her father died and she was left $800K. It’s like in her mind she thought the well would never run dry….because throughout her life there had been an endless amount of money.

    During one of Tori’s reality shows, they visited her warehouse, literally, of a storage unit– rows and rows of stuff she’s bought over the years. I always wondered why she didn’t sell some of it to pay off her debt. Maybe she did, who knows. I loved her short-lived VH1 show.

      I saw that. She’s a hoarder. I couldn’t believe she wouldn’t get rid of anything. I watch her reality shows. If they have another one, I would watch again. In True Tori she and Dean fought to save their marriage. I knew it was probably just for a story line, but watched anyway. She doesn’t seem to handle stress very well. She would lay in bed with a headache as soon as anything stressful was happening. Tori and Dean better smarten up and use their finances well. It’s to the point of ridiculous how they always have money troubles.

        If she would sell all that stuff that is in storage she probably could get out of debt. I know hoarding is more a mental issue but Dean should go behind her back and sell the stuff.

          I’m not sure that her hoarding is a mental issue. More like just wanting to keep all her pretty stuff. I think her problem might be compulsive shopping, and buying above their means. I think this is why they are always in debt.

          She wanted so bad to be a BH Housewife, but production won’t have her. It would be too stressful for her anyway.

            ageed. she could not handle the hostility. I am glad she is on BH90210 though. She was raised to be on TV. I don’t think she knows how to do anything else. That’s not really her fault. She was raised to think she would always be famous. I can’t imagine what that would be like.

        I watched a show where her mom moved from from the 56,500 sqft Spelling Manor to a 15,555 sqft condo. Tori is just like her mom in that she wants to have everything. Storage warehouses are so expensive. Unless its a family heirloom, if you are not going to use it within a year or two, just give it away. I’m about to give away some clothes that I had no business buying because I love rice and pasta. Some younging can enjoy them 🙂

          I saved a few, more than a few items and daughter in laws have no interest. Ive hopeful the 3rd DIL (not known yet) might be different. Items in Candis warehouse were awesome. I found it difficult to watch

        Candi Spelling’s warehouse’s are 10x’s as large complete with HVAC and live feed cameras 24/7. I believe Tori opened a small shop and sold off her warehouse of stuff.

    i Think I’ve only seen 2 episodes of 90210 in my life. Obviously, I must have lost my remote during those 2 hours. Not even sure I had a remote Then I read about the unusual plot of the reboot and I had to watch it.
    It’s so bad that it’s greeeeat!!!! Low expectations helped

    Tori Spelling was asked recently about all the fuss about how she and Dean don’t pay their bills. She, was visibly pissed. Replied we pay our bills and said maybe we should make that into a storyline. I haven’t watched the reboot. I only really liked Luke Perry and he’s passed.

    Nene best be holding on to her money and then some because she isn’t a fan favorite anymore and seemingly many viewers are skipping the season.

    I feel sorry for Torri really. Read some stories on her inheritance and it seems mama Candy had the will changed just before Aaron died. He supposedly had Alzheimers as well.

      Little I’ve read Daddy and Mommy were quite concerned with her spending habits. Its rumored she can spend a thousand dollars in the Dollar Store in a matter of minutes. They also knew about the storage units full of stuff she had bought and never used. I believe her Brother got the same amount and has managed to parlay it into a financial nest egg for his family.

    Absolutely love, love, love BH90210. Especially the late high school (Brenda, Dylan Kelly triangle) and the early college years (Tiffani Tiesen). Have rewatched and will rewatch in the future – just soapy goodness!!!!

    I am watching the reboot and rooting for all the characters ?
