Ariana Madix recently opened up about her financial struggles before her rise to fame following the scandal involving her ex-boyfriend, Tom Sandoval. In a preview for an upcoming episode of 'Vanderpump Rules,' Madix revealed that she was facing financial difficulties and was down to her last $2,000 before the scandal erupted in March 2023.
Despite the perception that she had made millions of dollars, Madix clarified that it was not the case. She shared that she and Sandoval had initially planned to buy a house when she started earning decent money, which put her in a position of playing catch-up financially. Additionally, a significant portion of her earnings went towards starting a sandwich shop with her friend Katie Maloney.
