The ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’ Stars Can Afford Their Lavish Lifestyles Because They Make Bank

It pays to be a Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star! The cast members from the hit VH1 reality TV series definitely like to flaunt their fancy cars, designer clothes, and expensive jewelry — and definitely can afford to live such lavish lifestyles just by letting cameras film their lives for fans' viewing pleasure. But even though former LHHNY star Erica Mena made it clear that she wasn't interested in working in reality TV anymore, she made her big return back to the franchise during Season 7 of LHHATL, and fans think they know why — the money!

Fans think that Erica decided to come back to the franchise because she needed a check, and they recently dug up an old tweet that she wrote herself back in 2017. "So many reason why I would never go back to LHH," she wrote. "Those who do go back clearly need the money…remember I tweeted this." Well, judging by how much Erica's LHHATL co-stars make per season, we don't blame her for coming back and getting that money! Keep scrolling below to find out how much the biggest stars of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta make in their salaries from the show.
