Here's How Kandi Burruss Really Got Rich

Publish date: 2024-05-07

Kandi Burruss' talent for writing Grammy award-winning singles, like "No Scrubs" for TLC, is surely part of the reason the songwriter is so financially comfortable today. But one could argue that her time on television has secured just as much wealth for Burruss, if not more. It's reported that the singer-turned-reality-TV-star rakes in over $100,000 for each episode of Bravo TV's Real Housewives of Atlanta. That's a lot of dough!

But she didn't stop there! Utilizing the notoriety and fame that she gained from being on the hit reality TV show, Burruss then successfully launched and created her own cosmetic brand, a line of adult sex toys, and her very own restaurant inspired by her mother and aunts' cooking. She also managed to secure her own reality television spin-off, The Kandi Factory, as well as appearances on Celebrity Big Brother and Masked Singer, which inevitably means more bread. And most recently, Burruss made her Broadway debut in Chicago as Mama Morton and snagged a role in the upcoming season of The Chi. This woman is busy!

In an interview with Money.com, the business mogul credits leveraging her success on the Real Housewives franchise for her monetary gain. "What's the point of having this huge platform if you are not benefiting off of it?" she asked. Touché!
