"Kim Richards and newcomer Lisa Rinna will be making $450,000," the source revealed.
Prior to the season 5 salary increase Vanderpump was reportedly raking in just half with $250,000 per season.
Kyle, who like Vanderpump is a veteran housewife, was paid slightly less at $200,000 while Glanville was making ust $125,000.
Kim along with fan favorite Hadid were the lowest earners with $100,000 a piece each season.
Season 5 is set to be entertaining and even more catty than last season, as all cast members are expected to bring intense drama.
"Bravo loves the nucleus of these four women, even when they're fighting with each other!" the source shared.
"They always bring drama and glamor to the show. The network has resolved that it wants to bring them all back," the source added.
Last month Glanville and Maloof were photographed filming scenes in Los Angeles and insiders claim the longtime rivals finally put an end to their bitter feud.
Rinna, who is an actress and married mother-of-two, reportedly filmed scenes for the show at Kyle's annual white party during a trial last month. She impressed Bravo TV producers so much that they offered her a permanent role on the show.
Season 4 additions Carlton Gebbia and Joyce Giraud are not retuning to the hit reality TV show.
