And with the announcement of her return to reality television, it’s safe to say that Monique Samuels’ net worth will certainly see growth this year.
Monique Samuels rose to public prominence as a regular cast member of The Real Housewives of Potomac. She first appeared on the show in season 2 and stayed for four seasons. While she is best known for her sass on the Bravo reality show, she has converted her 15 minutes of fame into much more.
Prior to the reality show, Monique was a full-time wife to her retired NFL husband, Chris Samuels. She was in charge of the couple’s multiple properties, as well as Chris’ non-profit organisation and his other investments.
Monique was a rap artist before she became a wife and mother. She has performed multiple freestyles on the show and was once a member of a rap trio. She halted her career due to concerns with record labels attempting to oversexualize her music. But after Monique joined the Bravo platform, she released her first official single “Drag Queens,” along with its music video.

Monique has also launched her own podcast and mommy-brand, Not For Lazy Moms. The brand began as a Facebook group and has since expanded to include its own products and services. She is also the founder of Mila Eve Essentials, her own essential oil collection.
While she was formerly recognised as the wife of an NFL star, Monique has built her own multimillion-dollar empire and continues to do so.
Monique joined the ‘RHOP’ cast in Season 2. Though she had a high-profile marriage and appeal, she claimed her paycheck was not as heft as many people believe.
According to Monique, she was paid for 12 episodes her first season. She earned nearly $42,000, which rounds out to roughly $3,500 per episode.
During an appearance on the podcast Behind The Velvet Rope with David Yontef, the wife of Chris Samuels revealed:
“I spent more on my wardrobe and makeup than I made that first season. My light bill went up [because of production constantly filming]. That check wasn’t anything.”
Monique said she didn’t pocket the money the first season. She started making money only after the third season of the show.

But the road to becoming the No.1 heavyweight wasn’t so easy for Ngannou as he went through a lot to stand at the top.
Since his UFC debut back in late 2015, Francis Ngannou has seen quite the jump in his career earnings. In his first UFC appearance at UFC on Fox: dos Anjos vs. Cerrone 2, he won the fight against fellow newcomer Luis Henrique via knockout in the second round and earned $22,500 purse money.
On December 9, 2016, Ngannou made his first six-figure purse money at UFC Fight Night: Lewis vs Abdurakhimov, where he faced Anthony Hamilton. He won the bout by submission in the first round and raked in $124,500, including his first $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
In the highest-profile fight of his career, Ngannou fought veteran Alistair Overeem at UFC 218 and defeated him via knockout in the first round. The win earned him $90,000, including $10,000 Reebok sponsorship. In his shortest-time knockout win against Jairzinho Rozenstruik (just 20 seconds into the first round) at UFC 249, Ngannou bagged a whopping $320,000 purse money.
