Stassi Schroeder

Stassi Schroeder became a household name as one of the original cast members of Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules, which premiered in 2013. The reality series, a spin-off of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, centered on the staff at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR in West Hollywood. Schroeder quickly emerged as a central figure on the show, known for her sharp wit, dramatic confrontations, and self-proclaimed status as the group’s queen bee.

Beyond television, Schroeder built a successful media brand through her podcast “Straight Up with Stassi,” which covered pop culture, fashion, and personal stories. The podcast attracted a loyal following and became a significant revenue stream. In 2019, she published her book “Next Level Basic: The Definitive Basic Bitch Handbook,” which became a New York Times bestseller and further established her voice in the lifestyle and pop culture space.

Schroeder’s career faced a significant setback in June 2020 when she was fired from Vanderpump Rules following the resurfacing of past racially insensitive actions, including filing a false police report against a Black cast member. The incident led to the loss of brand partnerships and public scrutiny. Schroeder publicly apologized and took time away from the spotlight before gradually returning to media.

On a personal level, Schroeder married Beau Clark in 2020 and welcomed their daughter Hartford Charlie Rose Clark in January 2021. She has since focused on rebuilding her brand through social media, live touring events, and new media ventures. Her estimated net worth of $2 million reflects both the impact of her career setback and her ongoing efforts to rebuild her public profile and income streams.
