It’s safe to say Eileen Davidson is not a starving artist by any means. According to Celebrity Net Worth, her estimated wealth adds up to $3 million. A big chunk of that came from her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” where she reportedly earned a whopping $750,000 each season, making her the second-highest-paid cast member to date. It was surprising when she didn’t come back after Season 7, given her massive paycheck, but it was all or nothing for Davidson. She revealed in a YouTube interview with Michael Fairman, “They actually asked me to take a step down and I didn’t want to be involved with it … they still wanted me on but in a limited capacity and I’m like, ‘No.'”
It may have not been worth it to be a “friend” on “RHOBH,” as they get paid per episode and possibly not that much. However, as a veteran soap star, Davidson may have been making up to $5,000 per episode for “The Young and the Restless,” per TVovermind. While she’s no longer playing Ashley Abbott on the series, the “Death in Daytime” author recently had a role in the Netflix movie “Holiday in the Vineyards,” as well as the powerful short film, “AFTERMATH.” Despite Davidson’s wealth, she lives a fairly humble lifestyle, and compared to her former “RHOBH” castmates, she doesn’t flaunt her wealth so openly.
