Is Tom Sandoval's Net Worth Taking a Dive Due to Sharing a Home with Ariana Madix?

Celebrities love a good scandal. There's no such thing as bad PR, they say. But no one likes seeing their fortune plunge as a result of a scandal.

Tom Sandoval took part in several minor projects before he became famous as a cast member on Vanderpump Rules. The hit reality show has been successfully running for a decade now, spawning a couple of spin-offs in the process, and Sandoval has been one of its ever-present stars.

As it turns out, the actor has made some good money for his role on the project: Sandoval's current net worth is estimated at $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. However, it looks like this amount is going to decrease substantially, and here's why.

First, we must note that Vanderpump Rules isn't Tom Sandoval's only source of income. In addition to taking part in other screen projects, Sandoval is also a musician and occasionally performs concerts with his band The Most Extras. He is also a businessman and investor in one of Vanderpump's venues — Tom Tom Restaurant & Bar. But for sure, the reality show has filled his pockets most.

On Vanderpump Rules, Tom Sandoval met Ariana Madix. The two were a couple for nine years and even bought a $2 million-worth house together, but recently, the stars split up after Tom cheated on Ariana with another contestant from VPR, Raquel Leviss. Following their breakup, Sandoval and Madix didn't rush to sell the house — at least, they haven't reportedly sold it yet.

Due to this fact, around a million of Tom Sandoval's money is bound to this unresolved property question. Although he hasn't lost the money yet, he can't use it now, and it doesn't translate nicely into his net worth.

Moreover, Sandoval and Madix wrote a book together, and it remains uncertain how their subsequent royalties will be shared. But what we do know for sure is that the breakup has already impacted Sandoval's potential for social media advertising quite badly.

So, even though Tom hasn't lost any of the property money just yet, it's expected that his net worth will suffer a major blow as a result of… well, essentially, his cheating on his partner. What a shame!
