The drama on The Real Housewives of New Jersey hasn't ever subsided over the series' long run. When it premiered in 2009, the show had everyone talking, and it only got better as the years went on. In Season 7, for instance, Dolores Catania joined the cast, and things were truly never the same. That said, even though Catania joined later on after the show had found success, she still didn't make a ton of money.
Catania was rumored to only be bringing in $30,000 for her entire first season, according to All About the Tea, and she was also brought on for a specific reason. As a source told the website, Catania was brought on to be a sort of "ally" for Teresa Giudice, who had been a regular on the series since it first premiered. Since then, though, Catania has become a main cast member in her own right, meaning she likely makes a lot more than $30,000 these days. Specifically, Wealthy Genius reported that Catania now makes $60,000 per episode, an impressive raise if there ever were one.
