NeNe Leaks famously described herself as "very rich" in a heated argument with Sheree Whitfield on a recent episode of Real House Wives of Atlanta and punctuated her point with the fact that she was cashing "Trump" checks. While NeNe may be very rich, it isn't because of Donald Trump...

Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with Donald Trump, Jr., who appears alongside his father on Celebrity Apprentice, at the Z100 Jingle Ball presented by Aeropostale, asking what exactly he thought NeNe meant when she bragged about her Trump payoff.
“Honestly, I have no idea,”he told us.“All the celebrities on the show play for charity. She received a small appearance fee, sure, but that was it.”
“And as far as I know,”he added,“she’s not involved with any of our other business or corporations. So I’m not sure what she’s talking about.”
So just how much did Nene earn? Well that exact amount is unknown but Piers Morgan, who won the 1st season of the show back in 2008, revealed he and his castmates only received about $25,000 each to do the show. So perhaps that amount has since gone up to $9 million in a span of 3 years!
