Real Housewives of Atlanta star NeNe Leakes is rolling in the dough...and not the Pillsbury kind!

In a report that will surely cause some catfights amongst the other housewives, NeNe will take home a $1.5 million paycheck for the upcoming season of the hit Bravo franchise. She was able to get such a big raise because she is the most popular housewife, according to Radar Online.

"Without NeNe, RHOA wouldn't be the ratings blockbuster that it continues to be. While some of the other shows including Real Housewives of New Jersey and Real Housewives of New York have endured ratings slumps, Atlanta has never had to endure that," a source told Radar. "NeNe made it known she would need a significant raise to do the upcoming season, and Bravo had no choice but to agree to it."

Earlier this year, the reality star was a bit hesitant about signing up for another season of the reality show she originated.

"You know what, the pay is okay, but I don't know if it's worth what you saw on the clip [the reunion fight between Kenya Moore and Porsha Stewart]," she said on The Arsenio Hall Show. "I'm the only original that's left. It has changed a lot over the years. I thought, or at least I think, people would tune in to see the Real Housewives of Atlanta because they would get to see fabulousness, and a good old read, and never the hair pulling and the punching and all that kind of stuff."

Nene won't be the only million dollar baby if Bethenny Frankel comes back to Real Housewives of New York. The Skinnygirl maven is being offered $1 million to return to the ratings-challenged series, as per the NY Post.

Do you think NeNe is worth all of that money?
