Get a breakdown of the former couple's shared finances, revealed during a never-before-seen moment on Peacock's Vanderpump Rules: Secrets Revealed episode.
Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix's shared finances were a big point of contention during Season 11 of Vanderpump Rules, and thanks to a previously unaired moment that can now be viewed on a special Vanderpump Rules: Secrets Revealed episode streaming exclusively on Peacock, we're finding out the details of said finances.
They came to light during a conversation between Tom and his then-assistant Ann Maddox, who kicked things off by explaining how the former couple's split had drastically changed her job responsibilities.
"Before the breakup, it didn’t really matter whose credit card anything was on, but after the breakup, it very much did matter. So, that became a new aspect of my job, making sure everything was even and balanced," Ann explained. "[It's] a lot of math. I’m not good at math."
But when Tom asked her to calculate the total of his and Ariana's shared bills "not counting the mortgage," she did exactly that.
What do Tom Sandoval and Ariana Madix pay in shared bills?
Per the conversation with Ann, between Sandoval and Ariana's water bill, pool cleaning costs, gardening expenses, cable and internet charges, and earthquake insurance, they both owe around $8,314 per month.
Sandoval and Ariana have sparred over these costs elsewhere on Vanderpump Rules Season 11, with him claiming at one point that she "hadn't paid any of the bills for, like, f-cking eight months."
“I’ve been pretty much paying for everything out of all my accounts," Tom alleged. "Mortgage, gardener, cleaning, utilities, everything. It’s kind of like pulling teeth to get Ariana to pay me back."
Ariana, however, said on the Vanderpump Rules Season 11 After Show, "I have asked repeatedly — for years at this point — for an itemized breakdown of said bills that he's talking about because we would always put money into a joint account and then have that account be the one that was hooked up to all these different things. Bills just come out of it automatically and then, oh, the balance is getting low, we both go put the same amount of money in that account."
That process apparently changed when Tom and Ariana refinanced in 2021, though.
"The account that the mortgage started coming out of was no longer the joint account; it was his account," she said. "And then that was at the same time that he got his HELOC loan that I co-signed. So, basically, I had asked for this itemized breakdown for so long and he would be like, 'Oh, you owe X amount of money,' and I'm like, 'How did you figure this out?'"
