Brandi Glanville Only Earns HOW Much on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Another Glanville Shocker -- Her Salary

No WONDER Brandi Glanville lives in a (comparatively) crappy little house and is always complaining about money - we learned today how much Eddie Cibrian's ex wife gets paid to star on Bravo's reality trainwreck, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" -- and let's just say that most gardeners in that famous zip code earn a lot more.

Today that the mother of two, whose new book "Drinking and Tweeting: And Other Brandi Blunders" was released to great fanfare last week, went on the Howard Stern show and, shock, held nothing back.

"The first season I worked for 18 grand, so it wasn't a lot," Glanville told Stern. When Robin Quivers, Stern's perennial sidekick wondered aloud whether that was $18k per episode, Glanville set her straight -- only to have Stern praise her for having proven herself and making herself an asset to the show.

Glanville, who has been famously fighting with her ex, Eddie Cibrian's new wife, Leann Rimes, via Twitter and other social media for months, told Stern that the other women on the show pull down a staggering $250,000 for their work on a season of the show. "I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, but I'm just telling you,"  she said adding that, "I want what they're getting because I feel like I work hard."

So far, not a peep from Bravo or executive producer Andy Cohen about Glanville's salary demands.
