Tami Roman net worth (and 5 things you didn’t know about the Basketball Wives star)
By Mads Lennon
Tami Roman is an accomplished television personality best known for starring in long-running reality series like The Real World and Basketball Wives. Not only is Tami considered one of Basketball Wives‘ breakout stars, but she is also an actress, model, and businesswoman who has appeared on many different shows and projects over the years.
With Netflix adding Basketball Wives to their catalog, many new fans will likely discover Tami and find themselves curious about her success outside the show and in the business world. She has been married to NFL football player Reginald Youngblood since 2018, and she shares two beautiful daughters with her ex-husband, NBA player Kenny Anderson.
What is Tami Roman’s estimated net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Tami Roman has an estimated net worth of about $3.5 million. That money stems from her long acting career, hosting jobs, merchandise, and much more.
The US Sun reports that the Basketball Wives stars used to make about $7,500 per episode in the show’s early days, but since Tami was on the show for a long time, she probably made more than that in later episodes. I’m sure she makes significantly more now with all of her other projects and television work, although she left the VH1 series at the end of its eighth season. I wouldn’t be surprised if her actual net worth is higher than $3.5 million.
