Life really is a cabaret! After getting axed from The Real Housewives of New York, Luann de Lesseps has been keeping herself booked and busy by touring the world with her stage show.
Whether or not you’re a fan of her vocals doesn’t matter. Luann is cashing in the big bucks from her tours, and she just opened up about how much she really brings in each year. According to her, it rivals her Bravo paychecks.
Luann de Lesseps’ cabaret show is bringing her “well into seven figures”
RHONY fans watched Luann kick off her cabaret dreams back in 2018. Thank you, Jovani! Since then, the cabaret has evolved into an international touring production. A-listers like Tilda Swinton have even stopped by to see her show. People love it.
Lu is currently gearing up to hit the road again for the holiday season, and she opened up to Us Weekly about how the show “saved” her after her unceremonious RHONY departure.
“In my mind, they should have just mixed the two casts — kept some of us, brought some newbies in, and call it a day,” Luann said of the show’s fate. “But it didn’t work out that way. I feel blessed because I was able to move on with my cabaret career. Cabaret saved my life because I was making well into seven figures while I was doing the Housewives.”
She added, “I’m keeping up with what I used to make, yes.”
Of course, Lu knows good and well that if it weren’t for Housewives, her cabaret career probably wouldn’t have taken off in the first place. Now, it’s all about keeping the momentum. To achieve that, Luann said she’d love to have a reality show that follows her hijinks on the road.
“I just feel like it’s very much important for me to stay relevant on TV, to support my cabaret career,” she admitted. “I mean, without the Housewives, I don’t think I would have had a Cabaret career.”
The Real Housewives of New York is streaming on Peacock as well as Hayu in the UK and Ireland.
