VANDERPUMP Rules star Ariana Madix has raked in an impressive fortune since her split from cheating ex Tom Sandoval.
Bravo fans were stunned to find out in March that the TomTom co-owner had been having an affair with co-star Raquel Leviss for several months behind the backs of his girlfriend and a majority of the cast.
In the months since Ariana, 37, and Tom, 39, called it quits, Ariana has landed a number of impressive brand deals and more.
She immediately went to work with companies like Bloomingdales, Uber One, Bic Razors, and more.
Additionally, she and her business partner Katie Maloney launched merchandise promoting their sandwich shop Something About Her amid the backlash.
Fans were eager to purchase and bought up pieces in droves.

Fans have been rooting for the VPR star, celebrating each of her impressive business wins.
She continues to land more deals and has even found love again in a new man while her ex Tom struggles and faces repeated public scrutiny.

Roughly two months after news of Tom's infidelity became public, Ariana revealed that she had teamed up with Uber One.

Another wrote: "Someone on the Uber Eats marketing team deserves a raise for this one."
Ariana's boyfriend, Daniel Wai, joked: "When's that album dropping?"
RETAIL THERAPY
Ariana teamed up with Bloomingdales just before the VPR reunion was filmed.
She went on a shopping spree at the department store, modeling four extremely sexy looks on her Instagram feed.
While none of them could top the dress she wore on the reunion stage, they were impressive nonetheless.
The first look was a red mini dress with shoulder pads and a plunging neckline.
She paired the look with a pair of strappy heels.
Her second look was a nude two-piece set with a sheer bedazzled gown over top.
The sheer piece featured a high neckline and long sleeves.

Finally, Ariana went with an all-black ensemble that consisted of a strappy top with a tiny blazer over top and footed leggings.
She wore a strappy silver pair of heels to cap the outfit off.
Ariana captioned the post: "As you may have heard, Bloomingdale's treated me to a shopping spree! obsessed with all 4 of these looks...i've never felt hotter! which is your fave?!"
RAZOR SHARP
Ariana added to her stacked roster of impressive brand deals in early May when she announced she had teamed up with Bic Razors.
She shared a video that showed her standing in her kitchen wearing pajamas.
The Bravo personality said: "It's about time I shared my truth about something that's irritating me lately.
"It just feels like every day something was blocking me from living the life I deserve and I can't lie, it's been kind of rough. Life does not have to be that complicated and annoying."
She concluded: "Like, we all deserve to know how to deal with these freaking hairs that get stuck in my razor."
Ariana captioned the post: "#BICPartner finally breaking my silence about what's been clogging up my life lately..."
Fans were again impressed and let Ariana know in the comments.
One wrote: "Somebody at BIC marketing team needs a raise."
Another commented: "Another day, another brand deal. I know that's right mama."
A third wrote: "One time I saw Ariana Madix smudging her house & using BIC razors, so I started smudging my house & using BIC razors."
SOMETHING ABOUT SANDWICHES
Almost immediately after the Scandoval news broke, Ariana and Katie announced the release of a line of merchandise promoting their yet unopened sandwich shop, Something About Her.
The range included sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, and phone cases.
All the items in the range were for sale for less than $50.
Ariana and Katie also updated their shop's social media site, changing the "Coming 2022" to "Coming 2023."
Bravo confirmed that the restaurant would open "later this year."
During the first installment of the VPR reunion, Ariana and Katie revealed how much they made from the early merch sales.
Katie told host Andy Cohen during the show: "It's about $200,000."
Ariana said on the show: "We were always going to do merch in the shop, and we thought that was something we would do, like, down the road...But then people were saying, 'How can we support you?' And so we launched it early."
BANKROLLING IT
Shortly after Ariana revealed on television that she's still living with Tom in the home they purchased together, she teamed up with SoFi for a wild stunt.
The star recorded an Instagram Story that showed her standing outside her home with stacks of boxes behind her.
She captioned the post: "Ready to dip out," adding a smirking emoji.
Ariana spoke about continuing to live with Tom, whom she said she has no communication with, during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
The following day she appeared on Today, where she expressed a desire to move out of the home.
She said at the time: "I've been on the phone with a real estate agent.
"And I would like to sell that house and move somewhere, own my own place on my own, and start a new life."
When she posted her Instagram Story about leaving the house, fans were thrilled to her but shortly after the fact it was revealed that it was all a stunt to promote a brand.
Ariana is still living in the home with Tom, according to TMZ.
After her initial post, she made several subsequent videos that confirmed that she was working with a financial company which is why she posted the Stories.
She said in the video: "I'm moving up, not out. Well not yet at least.
"It's time to get my financial house in order. I will have more to share with you very very soon."
Ariana also appeared in another video alongside a SoFi employee, further confirming that it was all part of a new partnership.
In the caption of the clip, which she shared on her Instagram feed, she wrote: "I’m only surrounding myself with ride-or-dies from now on. SoFi is the all-in-one finance app with a whole squad of financial planners who have YOUR best interests in mind.
"Open an account with @sofi and you can get your own financial bestie to help you make the right decisions with your money, even during the tough times."
GOOD VIBES
One of the first brand deals Ariana landed after breaking up with Tom was with a sex toy company.
She shared a pic of herself holding an adult toy in her hand, promoting a giveaway.
She captioned the post: "Sometimes you just gotta change up your vibe."
Fans were supportive in the comments.
Co-star Scheana wrote: "Yesssssss Queen!!!!!"
Kristen Doute commented: "It really is a girl's best friend. I love this VIBE."
"TOYS OVER BOYS," a fan commented.
Someone else wrote: "The only time a vibrator can break your heart is when the battery dies."
CHEERS TO JOY
Early in May, Ariana teamed up with JoyBurst for another lucrative deal.
She shared a video of her enjoying the beverage in a variety of settings, including with friends, while working out, and even behind the bar.
The Florida native captioned the post: "It’s National Natural Joy Day and I am thankful for the things in my life that inspire moments of joy - both the big and the small.
"From mixing up my favorite [JoyBurst] cocktails to spending time with friends and working out, being happy and healthy are my goals in life! I challenge you to indulge in things that make you happy, naturally.
"Snap a picture or film a video of what brings you joy, share to your socials using the hashtag #MomentsofJoy or #NaturalJoyDay2023 and tag @myjoyburst. Whether it be spreading joy or performing an act of joyfulness, make whatever you do today JOYFUL!"
SHE'S SERVING
In late May, Ariana announced that she would be popping by a California Raising Canes to serve up meals and some tea.
She was paid to serve diners chicken tenders, fries, and their special sauce in the store and at the drive-thru, wearing a headset and chit-chatting with customers.
When asked during the gig when their sandwich shop will be open to the public, Ariana confirmed that planned construction work is on schedule, telling The U.S. Sun exclusively: "Soon, soon, this summer."
She also told reporters being behind the counter wasn't easy.
"The hardest thing about working today was when orders are coming and I'm not going fast enough," she laughed.
"I get a little stressed out that I'm holding everyone back from getting their chicken, and I don't like that feeling.
"What I learned being back in the kitchen area, taking orders and everything, that's different from bartending for many years, is that as they come in, you gotta just stay calm.

"If you start getting stressed out it just makes it worse."
Explaining her new venture, she went on: "The idea for Something About Her was sparked by my business partner and friend Katie Maloney, who had this dream of opening a sandwich shop, and honestly, I thought it sounded like a lot of fun and a really good idea, and I'm really excited about it."
