As Bravo fans know, many seasons of The Real Housewives franchise often include a luxurious cast trip. Whether they're traveling within the country or overseas, the Housewives' time away from their homes always results in some compelling television.

How to Watch

After all, who could forget The Real Housewives of New York City cast trip to Scary Island or The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills abroad excursion to Amsterdam?

Moreover, many viewers often wonder who pays for the cast trips on The Real Housewives series, especially since the locations are often some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Fortunately, we have the answer to this question, which you can find by scrolling below.

Who pays for The Real Housewives trips?

In November 2019, executive producer of The Real Housewives franchise, Andy Cohen, opened up about whether production covers the tab on cast trips during an interview with OK! magazine.

“We do,” Andy told the publication. “Frankly, we do yeah but you know it depends on the vacation actually.”

The Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen host also revealed that production isn't always responsible for paying the fees for the lavish excursions.

"There have been some that have been generated by us and there have been some that have been generated by them," Andy explained. "The women take the planning of the vacation really seriously and so it's a case by case but we have paid for them, yes."

Kyle Richards explains who pays for trips on Real Housewives

Andy isn’t the only Bravoleb to provide info about who really covers the expenses of cast trips on the Real Housewives. RHOBH OG Kyle Richards also touched upon the topic during a panel discussion at BravoCon 2022.

“People always do ask about the planes and the parties and stuff, and they do think everything is paid by production — even other cast members from other shows ask about that,” Kyle shared during the Iconic Vacations panel on Sunday, October 16, 2022. “We are actually paying for those things ourselves.”
