Nick Viall said “the math ain’t mathing” when it comes to certain “Vanderpump Rules” stars claiming financial trouble.
In a clip from the Tuesday episode of his “Viall Files” podcast shared on Instagram, “The Bachelor” alum, 43, said he’s “floored” by how many times he’s heard of a “Vanderpump Rules” cast member claiming to have hit financial hardships.
“How can you be on TV for the better part of a decade, amass a large social media following that if you do anything with is a good pay day,” he said.

He added, “I am floored by how all of the times where these ‘Vanderpump’ characters specifically talk about how much money they don’t have.”
“There’s a lot of people not saving, unfortunately, I think that’s the new norm these days,” he reflected. “And I think the ‘Vanderpump’ cast is a good example of how you can make a lot of money and still be poor if you have no spending control.”
He captioned the Instagram post, “the math ain’t mathing.”
It’s no secret that some of the “Vanderpump Rules” favorites have fallen on hard times over the years.
In March, Ariana Madix revealed she was on her last $2,000 before Scandoval took place, allowing her to cash out on brand deals with Lays, Duracell, SoFi and many others, totaling an estimated profit of $2 million.
“The internet thinks I’ve made millions of dollars. That is not true, and it’s like, on March 1st [2023], was I financially prepared to move? No,” Madix, 38, said in a Season 11 episode as she recalled how difficult it was trying to move out of her and Sandoval’s shared home last year.
She also noted how she invested a good chunk of her money into her and co-star Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop, Something about Her.
“He created this situation, and now, I’m f–king scrambling, trying to get my f–king s–t together to be able to, in a financially responsible way, move on to the next step,” Madix told her co-stars.
Madix has since moved on from her previous relationship and home.
The “Single AF Cocktails” author recently purchased a $1.6 million three-bedroom, two-bathroom house in Los Angeles in March.
