The “CRAZY” $8.3K in shared bills that Ariana owes is revealed by Tom Sandoval in an unseen Vanderpump Rules moment.
Discover the details of the ex-couple’s joint finances in a never-before-seen segment on Peacock’s Vanderpump Rules: Secrets Revealed.
The shared finances of Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix were a major source of conflict during Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules. Now that we have access to a never-before-seen clip, which is available to watch on a special Vanderpump Rules: Secrets Revealed episode that is only available on Peacock, we know the specifics of those finances.
They surfaced during a discussion between Tom and his then-assistant Ann Maddox, who began by describing how her work obligations had altered significantly as a result of the former couple’s breakup.
It didn’t really matter whose credit card anything was on before the separation, but it did matter a lot after it occurred. Making sure everything was balanced and even became a new part of my work, Ann said. “A lot of math is involved. I’m not very mathematical.
However, she did just that when Tom asked her to figure out how much money he and Ariana shared in bills “not counting the mortgage.”
What do Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix pay in shared bills?
Per the conversation with Ann, between Sandoval and Ariana’s water bill, pool cleaning costs, gardening expenses, cable and internet charges, and earthquake insurance, they both owe around $8,314 per month.
Sandoval and Ariana have sparred over these costs elsewhere on Vanderpump Rules Season 11, with him claiming at one point that she “hadn’t paid any of the bills for, like, f-cking eight months.”
“I’ve been pretty much paying for everything out of all my accounts,” Tom alleged. “Mortgage, gardener, cleaning, utilities, everything. It’s kind of like pulling teeth to get Ariana to pay me back.”
Ariana, however, said on the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 After Show, “I have asked repeatedly — for years at this point — for an itemized breakdown of said bills that he’s talking about because we would always put money into a joint account and then have that account be the one that was hooked up to all these different things. Bills just come out of it automatically and then, oh, the balance is getting low, we both go put the same amount of money in that account.”
That process apparently changed when Tom and Ariana refinanced in 2021, though.
“The account that the mortgage started coming out of was no longer the joint account; it was his account,” she said. “And then that was at the same time that he got his HELOC loan that I co-signed. So, basically, I had asked for this itemized breakdown for so long and he would be like, ‘Oh, you owe X amount of money,’ and I’m like, ‘How did you figure this out?'”
