Ariana Madix has legs for days after DENYING she became a ‘millionaire’ from Scandoval

Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix had legs for days when she was spotted in sunny Los Angeles this Thursday.

The 37-year-old has become one of the most high-profile figures in reality TV after it emerged that her boyfriend of nine years, Tom Sandoval, had cheated on her with their costar and boyfriend, 28-year-old Raquel Leviss. .

While she was the picture of high-octane glamor when she confronted her traitors on the show’s reunion episodes, Ariana cut a casual figure this week.

She slipped into color-blocked workout gear, including a crop top that allowed her to show off her chiseled midriff to the fullest.

Her latest sighting comes two days after she denied that she had managed to turn her ‘Scandoval’ heartbreak into millionaire status.

Previously, on a Season 10 reunion episode, Ariana revealed that she made $200,000 in merchandise sales for her and business partner Katie Maloney’s yet-to-open sandwich shop Something About Her.

Brand experts and PR gurus told DailyMail.com last month that Ariana could rake in more than $1 million by the end of the year.

But when she was spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday, she laughed when asked about her financial status: “No, I’m not a millionaire.”

Her sighting came as she struggled to charge her electric car, a task she was trying to figure out for the first time.

When asked if she could forgive Raquel, who retreated to a mental health facility amid backlash over her affair, Ariana was relentless.

“I don’t remember her,” Ariana said flatly, refusing to look up from her phone when she answered the question.

She also shared that she was planning a “low-key” party for her upcoming 38th birthday, which will take place on Saturday.

Turning to last weekend’s festivities, Ariana confessed, “Father’s Day isn’t a great time for me,” as she lost her own father to a heart attack in 2013.

Her latest leggy gig comes after Elma Beganovich, co-CEO of a digital marketing agency Amra and Elmatold DailyMail.com that people found reality TV stars relatable.

“The appeal of reality TV show stars is that most of them are everyday American women, often middle-class, and more relatable than, say, a Marvel superhero, which is impersonal,” she said.

The stars of the reality TV show show their vulnerabilities and the raw realities of tough day-to-day decisions many Americans face, [for example]drinking problems, martial problems, mental health problems, etc,” she added.

In other words, they make ordinary Americans feel better about themselves or at least not stand alone in their struggles.

“That’s why the American viewer is glued to the reality TV show – this makes it a perfect product placement opportunity for brands, especially for reality TV shows whose ratings are skyrocketing.”

“The goal of consumer brands is to reach millions of viewers and what better way to do that than through a reality TV show that blows up the charts.”

Branding expert Rachel McCord told DailyMail.com that she was “excited” for Ariana and that it was “definitely her time to take advantage of endorsement and sponsorship opportunities.”

And we’re all rooting for her! I’m thrilled to hear that her merchandise sales are increasing and to see her creative marketing strategies with some of our favorite brands. And she deserves it. She is facing such a devastating situation,” says the founder and CEO of The McCord List said.

Since news of the scandal broke, it seems Ariana has managed to turn her heartbreak into money-making opportunities, including deals with Uber One (left) and BIC razors (right)

But she’s an inspiration and reminds us that no matter what lemons life throws at you, put on that revenge dress and drink some lemonade in front of your haters. Now is her time to turn this into something bigger. But she needs to make use of it quickly. And I think she’s doing really well.’

Since news of the scandal broke on March 3, it seems Ariana has managed to turn her heartbreak into money-making opportunities, which some say is the ultimate revenge.

Checking out her Instagram feed where she has 1.8 million followers, she has sponsored deals with Bloomingdale’s, finance company SoFi, Uber One, BIC razors and Joyburst energy drink to name a few.

And some of these posts contain ironic references to her dramatic split from 40-year-old Tom.

In her Bloomingdale’s post, she included the hashtag “revenge dressing,” while her ad for BIC razors made a thinly veiled comparison to her hiding her razor from her ex-boyfriend.

And she seems to be living her best life in her partnership with Uber One, as she fakes costar Sheana Shay’s song Good As Gold with fellow Vanderpump Rules star and castmate Lala Kent.

And she also refers to “surrounding myself only with ride-or-dies from now on” in her SoFi post.

After Scandoval blew up, Ariana was announced as a star in the Lifetime movie Buying Back My Daughter, deadline reported, and she was a guest at DailyMail.com with Lisa Vanderpump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Most recently, she appeared on the cover of this month’s Glamor magazine, where she spoke candidly about the cheating scandal.

In March, it was revealed that her boyfriend of nine years, Tom Sandoval (pictured with Ariana in 2019), was cheating on her with their costar and boyfriend, 28-year-old Raquel Leviss.

There are also reports that she will take part in the next season of Dancing With The Stars.

As for how much she gets paid for accessing her Instagram fan base, Elma couldn’t give an exact figure because it depended not only on the number of followers, “but also on their PR coverage.”

“For example, if a celebrity’s PR coverage exceeds 1 billion unique monthly visitors, they could easily demand $100,000 per post. It also ultimately comes down to supply and demand,’ she explained.

And Ariana shows no signs of slowing down, she recently explained to Glamor: “We don’t have any generational wealth in our family.

“I want to earn enough money to take care of my mother and my brother and all other family members who may or may not need it. I never, ever, ever want to worry about it. So I’ll work as much as I can to avoid that.’
