'RHOC' Tamra Judge Gets Salary Raise! Does Bravo Costar Vicki Gunvalson Still Make More Money?

Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge has been having a drama filled season as usual on the hit Bravo franchise series, but off-screen life just got better with a hefty raise in her salary. But does her costar Vicki Gunvalson still make more money?

According to Radar Online, the OC housewife went from getting $600,000 a year to now raking in $750,000 for the season.

"Tamra's story lines are huge and she has a big following, so the producers decided to pay her more," a source told the gossip site.

This is big news for Tamra since her new business venture, Cut Fitness, is a work in progress and she is still fighting her ex-husband Simon Barney over custody of their children.

"Tamra needs the money," the source said. "She isn't raking in the big bucks with her gym and she hasn't really branded herself as well as some of the other women on the show."

Even though the RHOC star has been on the show for seven years and created lots of drama and storylines for the franchise she still doesn't make the most money out of the cast.

"She's making more than everyone except Vicki [Gunvalson]," according to Radar. "She's the second highest paid on the RHOC franchise."

This season viewers have definitely seen a softer side to Tamra. She had a spiritual awakening and started attending church services to become more religious. As MStars News reported, her new-found spirituality helped her get through the darkest days during her nasty divorce.

"I got very depressed," the Bravolebrity told In Touch Weekly, via Radar. "There were times where I didn't want to wake up and live."

"I was in the lowest place I'd ever been in my life," she went on. "As a family, we started to go to church to help with the pain."

To mark the changes she has made in her life including becoming closer to God, Tamra decided to get baptized on camera during this season of the show.
