Jeannie Mai began her career as a makeup artist for MAC Cosmetics, working on a variety of A-list clients (per BET). She went on to host entertainment shows on local channels and smaller cable networks before landing bigger gigs as a correspondent for programs such as The Biggest Loser, Extra TV, and the Miss Universe pageant. Then in 2013, she was offered a spot on The Real, a talk show notable for its diverse set of hosts. According to Showbiz CheatSheet, Tamera Mowry-Housley earns the biggest paycheck of the group, with the rest bringing in somewhere between $200,000 and $950,000 annually.
However, Mai has other sources of income, including her Hello Hunnay YouTube channel and its merch; her work as a brand ambassador for such companies as Straight Talk and Fabletics; and her appearance on DWTS, whose contestants earn a minimum of $125,000 for starters, and more for each week that they remain in the running for the mirrorball trophy (via Variety). Her assets also include the $1.2 million home she was awarded in her divorce from first husband Freddy Harteis (via The Blast).
All that combines to put the celeb stylist's net worth at somewhere between $2 and $4 million (per CheatSheet and Celebrity Net Worth). In other words, Jeannie Mai can afford to buy all the vowels she likes, thank you very much.
