Nick Viall is surprised by the financial struggles of some of the Vanderpump Rules stars. He expressed his astonishment during the April 23 episode of his podcast, "Viall Files." Viall, 43, mentioned that he is amazed by how often these Vanderpump characters talk about their lack of money.

Viall took to Instagram to share a snippet of the conversation, captioning the clip with the phrase, “The math ain’t mathing.”

In the video, he expressed his confusion about some of the Vanderpump Rules cast members who have been on the show for nearly ten years and have built a large social media following, yet still struggle with financial issues. Viall speculated that their lack of financial stability could be due to not setting aside savings for the future.

Unfortunately, many people are not saving money nowadays, which seems to be the new normal. The Vanderpump cast serves as a prime example of how one can earn a lot of money but still struggle financially due to a lack of spending control.

Viall also pointed out that even wealthy individuals can easily spend their money quickly, highlighting the importance of financial management.

Several cast members of VPR have been open about their financial struggles. In a recent episode, Tom Sandoval shared with his friend Tom Schwartz about his money problems after breaking up with Ariana Madix.

Sandoval revealed, "My bank account was actually in the negative. Ariana hadn't paid any bills for about eight months." He explained how he had to transfer money from different accounts just to make the mortgage payment on their house.

Sandoval and Madix's highly publicized breakup last year created a buzz in the media and attracted even more attention to the Bravo series. The couple parted ways in March 2023, when Madix discovered that Sandoval was involved in a romantic relationship with their former costar Raquel "Rachel" Leviss.

In the aftermath of the scandal, known as Scandoval, several of the show's cast members appeared to benefit financially as new opportunities arose due to the increased popularity of the series. Sandoval had previously criticized his fellow costars for capitalizing on the controversy.

During an episode of the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast in April 2023, a fellow cast member expressed their frustration. He mentioned that while other cast members were asking him questions for their podcast, he believed they were not genuinely interested in Ariana. Instead, he felt they were only seeking content for their own podcast, which he found distasteful and selfish.

Editor's P/S:

Nick Viall's remarks highlight the financial struggles faced by some "Vanderpump Rules" stars despite their apparent wealth and social media presence. The cast's struggles underscore the importance of financial planning and saving for the future. Viall suggests that the lack of financial stability may stem from a failure to prioritize savings, a common issue in today's society.

Furthermore, the article delves into the aftermath of the "Scandoval" scandal, which brought increased attention to the series. While some cast members reportedly benefited financially from the controversy, others expressed frustration over the exploitation of their personal situation for content. This raises questions about the ethics of profiting from personal drama and the boundaries between reality television and genuine support for fellow cast members.
