How Tamra Judge Amassed Her $2 Million Net Worth
Of all the Real Housewives stars who have been on their show since the start, Tamra Judge is one who gets a lot of love. After she left The Real Housewives of Orange County after season 14, Tamra shared that she and Shannon Beador are no longer friends.
Tamra has also fought with Kelly Dodd, but besides these dramatic relationships, fans know Tamra Judge as a savvy businesswoman, proud mother, and loving wife to Eddie. Tamra Judge has a $2 million net worth. Let's take a look at how the reality star made her money.
'Real Housewives' Salary
Fans want Tamra back on the show, and when she was on the series, she was definitely making a lot of money.
As a cast member on The Real Housewives of Orange County from seasons three to 14, Tamra Judge made a great salary, and this has contributed to her $2 million net worth.
People use a few figures when talking about what the star was paid. Celebrity Net Worth puts Tamra's salary at $350,000 per season.
Reports say that Tamra Judge was paid $600,000 per season, according to Radar Online. And people say that the star started making even more: Cheat Sheet says that both Judge and Shannon Beador were being paid $900,000 per season.
Judge did really well as she wasn't paid that much for her first season. According to The List, she appeared on the podcast Behind the Velvet Rope and explained, "I was paid $7,000 my first year," she said. "That's what I got paid. I probably spent more than that just on clothes and stuff. The show was so different back then." She continued, "I probably made $50,000 by the next year. You really have to put your time in to make money."
CUT Fitness
Tamra and her husband, Eddie, opened up a gym called CUT Fitness in 2013, which fans will remember as it was filmed for the show, and it seems like that has contributed to her net worth as well.
According to Reality Tea, she began selling some gym equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and people wondered if that meant that the gym would close permanently. She explained that wasn't the case: "(NOT CLOSING DOWN. Just restructuring of business to a personal training studio….No more group classes. No longer need all this small equipment.”
Tamra is very passionate about working out and living a healthy lifestyle. She changed her body in 2016 and shared in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "I truly believe that working out, eating well, and taking your supplements is really the key to staying young," she shares with ET. "I can see it in my face. I can see it in my skin. I can just see it in my whole body. You know, I'm 48 years old."
Tamra also entered a fitness competition and won. She told Bravotv.com that she was exercising two to three hours daily and she went very low-carb.
Tamra's Other Company
Tamra also has a CBD company called Vena Wellness. According to Page Six, she said she chose the name because Eddie has a heart condition called Vena Cava. The company sells products such as a CBD Oil Tincture, CBD Gel Capsules, and CBD Cooling Cream.
Tamra explained, "It is 100% our company. In fact, Vena comes from Eddie’s heart condition. Vena Cava is the full name. And basically, the vena cava is the two major banks that drive blood into your heart. So that’s why we’re very heart-driven.”
Once the news was out that Tamra wasn't returning to RHOC, she shared that her ex-husband, Simon Barney, had stage 3 throat cancer. According to Bravotv.com, she said, "I was going to say I wasn't coming back at the reunion. I had just found out about Simon days before the reunion. I was a mess. I had been crying." She said people asked what was going on and she felt that it was too hard to be there.
Because of Simon's health and Eddie's heart condition, Tamra realized that it was time to leave the series. She told People, "it’s just very hard for me to want to go on a show where people are screaming and yelling and arguing about things that don’t even matter. They’ve taught me that life is precious, and you don’t get that time back.”
With a $2 million net worth, a great marriage to Eddie, and her many business ventures, it looks like Tamra Judge is doing really well. Of course, fans will always miss seeing her on The Real Housewives of Orange County, and it would be amazing if she ever did decide to return, even just for a brief visit.
