Insiders told RadarOnline.com Burruss signed a contract for more than $2 million while securing her spot on the hit Bravo series.

"I don't really think about it," said the reality star. "It's going to be what it's going to be. I enjoy being a part of the Bravo family. Regardless of whatever, I'm still part of it."
Fans recently got to watch her on Secret Celebrity Renovation during an episode which showed Burruss surprising her Aunt Bertha with a stunning home transformation.
Burruss may be back on TV for RHOA and other passion projects, but don't expect to see her on The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls Trip anytime soon.
"At this point, I don't see it happening," she told Us Weekly in August. "Because, like, anybody that I would have possibly wanted to — or felt comfortable being in a house with — they've already done it."
"I can't be there with a whole bunch of different Housewives for some cattiness," Burruss added. "I'm, like, I deal with enough doing RHOA and then I'm doing this, this other show with my group Xscape … [I'm] like, 'Oh, my God, I'm done with all these different females in one place."
