Amanda Batula has built up her net worth, and her self-esteem since her first season on Summer House. This past year, most notably, she launched her own swimsuit line. And of course, the work she put into her husband, Kyle Cooke’s, Loverboy company is invaluable.
The Bravo paychecks are worth discussing. After nine seasons, one can assume that Amanda’s salary is on the up. And the Bravolebrity shared some of the salary secrets after almost a decade on Summer House.
How much did Amanda Batula make her first season on Summer House?
Amanda appeared on the June 30 episode of Jason Tartick’s Trading Secrets podcast to discuss her brand. The host asked the Bravolebrity how her prior $50,000 annual salary from marketing jobs stacked up against her first Summer House paycheck.
“I think less … More than half,” Amanda shared.
The Summer House favorite is now branching into professional influencer. Amanda is doing it with intention though. She only takes on brands that she believes in. Most recently, it’s been Swiffer. However, the reality TV star has turned down some lucrative deals.
“Maybe in the hundred thousands,” Amanda revealed of some of the figures she’s turned down.
“It just didn’t make sense for me,” she continued. “It didn’t feel authentic. It wasn’t something that I used or would use, and that’s a big thing for me. If it’s not a product that I currently use, a brand that I currently purchase, or something that I could see myself incorporating into my lifestyle, I’m not going to do it.”
As with her brand deals, Amanda tries to present herself authentically on Summer House as well. And that’s been part of her appeal to fans.
She said, “I pride myself on honesty and authenticity and I think that’s a big part of reality TV also, is always being truthful. So I want to continue that. Even though I’m doing these brand deals and selling stuff, I’m not going to sell you something that I don’t use.”
As for reality TV, Amanda is hoping for a Summer House spinoff that would focus on her life in New York City.
