How Much Is Jax Taylor Worth Amid Divorce News from Brittany Cartwright? Details

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Jax Taylor reigned supreme as the resident bad guy on The Vanderpump Rules for eight seasons before news broke that he was leaving the show. For longtime fans, his exit marked the end of an era.

Since then, Jax has been booked and busy. Along with opening his own restaurant, Jax returned to reality TV with Bravo's The Valley. But what’s his net worth? Here’s what we know about the ex-Vanderpump Rules star’s finances.

Hard work pays — and so does reality TV. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Jax Taylor has an estimated net worth of a whopping $4 million.

Jax made his TV debut as an uncredited extra on Arrested Development in 2006. However, a lot has changed since his days as an unpaid extra.

Today, Jax is a beloved TV personality with more than 1 million followers and counting — and it’s all thanks to Bravo. He made several cameos on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills before he joined the cast of the RHOBH spinoff, Vanderpump Rules.

Jax starred in the E! series House of Villians, where he revealed that he’s rolling in dough. According to Jax, Cameo — a platform that allows fans to request customized messages from their favorite celebrity — has been extremely lucrative for him.

"I've made about probably $450,000 on Cameo alone," he said on an episode of House of Villians. He also mentioned that his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Brittany Cartwright, has been in her bag too.

"My wife makes a lot of money. She just got a $2 million job from Jenny Craig. My wife crushes it,” he bragged. Still, Jax insisted that he needed the prize money — but we’re not sure we believe him.

After all, Jax also has his cash from his tenure on Vanderpump Rules to fall back on. Life & Style estimates that he made $25,000 an episode. Jax appeared in a total of 165 episodes of Vanderpump Rules — so you do the math.

In addition to Jax’s career in entertainment, he’s also an entrepreneur.

Much like his Vanderpump Rules co-stars Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz, Jax is officially a restauranteur.

However, in an interview with PEOPLE, Jax said that he takes their business advice with “a grain of salt.”

“There's a big difference of how I'm doing it versus how they did it,” Jax said.

“They did not include their significant others at all. They weren't even allowed at the bar. That's a recipe for disaster if you're owning a business like that,” he added.

As of this writing, Google Reviews gives the restaurant 3.8 stars, so it seems to be doing fairly well.

In fact, in May 2024, Jax revealed to The Daily Dish, per Bravo, that he was expanding his restaurant business to include two bars — one in California and another out of state, though he didn’t disclose the details of the second location. However, given Brittany’s August 2024 divorce filing, it’s unclear what her role will be with their initial location or if she will be involved in the expansion.

Brittany filed for divorce on Aug. 27, 2024, at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in downtown Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple married on June 29, 2019. While she is not seeking spousal support, Brittany is requesting legal and physical custody of their 3-year-old son, Cruz, and is asking that Jax be granted visitation rights.
