Yep, they are raking in thousands!


The Selling Sunset cast members make it no secret that their main aims in life are to make money. They are constantly talking about securing deals with clients, the want to sell houses and make bag loads of commission, and even marrying rich men to supplement their own earnings. But one huge lucrative market to add to the list for the Selling Sunset girls in Instagram – given their huge success on the show, the platform is making them even more rich.

Vanessa is also one of the newer agents, so it’s no surprise she’s a little lower in the Selling Sunset Instagram rich list. However, Vanessa was already famous in Mexico when she joined the show, so she still has nearly 800k Instagram followers. She can expect to earn £2,903 per branded post.
