How much does Kyle Richards make per episode?

Richards' former RHOBH co-star Camille Meyer claimed that in Season 1, Richards made $136,000 for the season, which would have put her at about $12,363.64 per episode for the 11 episodes in Season 1. Her salary is now rumored at almost double that overall, at a reported $270,000 for Season 12 (the last season to air). But because Season 12 consisted of 24 episodes, she will have made $11,250 per episode—which is actually a pay cut per episode! As such, we can probably guess that her salary now is a bit higher than that figure.

How much does Kyle Richards make on RHOBH?

Richards has been a fixture on RHOBH since Season 1. Former co-star Meyer claimed that Richards made $136,000 in Season 1, while reports of her recent salary have her making $270,000 per season. We'll assume she makes $136,000 for 11 seasons and $270,000 for just Season 12 to be conservative. Using those figures, Richards will have made $1.766 million from her 12 seasons on the show, though she's likely made much more than that overall.

Richards' salary for Halloween Kills, in which she reprised the role of Lindsay Wallace that she played as a child alongside Jamie Lee Curtis in the original Halloween, isn't publicly known. That said, she was willing to do just about anything that director David Gordon Green asked of her.

“I just didn't know what I was getting into. I'm not just trying to do fan service by bringing performers back," he explained to The Los Angeles Times. "You can see someone’s character on a reality show and wonder: Is that reality? And when I sat down with her, she had such a normal vibe to her. She’s very relatable and charismatic and charming and natural."

He added that Richards was a great sport, even with the physical demands of the horror flick (she even broke her nose during filming and kept on going).

"I asked: ‘How far are you willing to go?’" Green recalled. "And she gives me a priceless, beautiful, hesitant: ‘How far do you need me to go?’"
