Lisa Rinna's Adult Diapers Commercial Made Her An Absolute Fortune But Is She Embarrassed By The Endorsement Deal?

Lisa Rinna is a reality star that gets people talking, and there's an interesting story behind her decision to appear in a Depend adult diapers ad.

For years, Lisa Rinna was one of the best parts of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She spoke up when she felt that something was off. She shared her sweet husband Harry Hamlin with the world. And she always talked about her strong work ethic. Now, with the shocking news that Lisa quit RHOBH, fans are excited to see what her next career move will be. There's no doubt that she will continue to make money and do well. She has a lot of talent and is also confident and funny.

Sometimes a celebrity will appear in a commercial that will get so much traction that it's all anyone will talk about. Prior to making her comeback with the 2018 Halloween reboot, Jamie Lee Curtis promoted Activia yogurt. And while Lisa Rinna earned a salary from RHOBH for several years, she has brought in cash in some other ways. This includes a commercial for adult diapers. What did Depend pay Lisa Rinna? And does she feel bad about doing this?

Lisa Rinna's net worth is $10 million and she has been working for several decades. She made most of her money through acting. Throughout the '90s, 2000s and the 2010s, she starred on the soap opera Days Of Our Lives as Billie Reed.

She is also famous for playing the sneaky Taylor McBride on Melrose Place. And she became a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member back in 2014. From seasons 5 through 12, she was a spirited reality star who no one could overlook. It was always fun to see what Lisa was up to, even if people didn't always think that she had the correct idea about certain co-stars or storylines.

The star has also taken on some other jobs. That includes creating a clothing line for QVC and promoting adult diapers in a Depend advertisement that no one could stop talking about.

Lisa Rinna earned $2 million when she promoted Depend back in the 2010s according to Radar Online.

Radar Online reported that a source said, "Lisa was able to get a huge paycheck from Depends, and was paid $2 million. Knowing she would be teased for years, Lisa made sure she was compensated for it."

In Lisa Rinna's commercial for Depend, she talked about the adult diaper Depend Silhouette while pretending to stand on a red carpet with Harry Hamlin. She said, "I did it because I am a champion for positive self-image for women and what I love about the new Silhouette is it makes a woman feel confident. And it's fashionable."

Lisa said that it was impossible to know that she was wearing an adult diaper and that she was still able to put on a fancy dress. She said the diaper "feels great" and was "soft."

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans know that Lisa Rinna would never hang back when she has an opinion about something. If she was humiliated by promoting Depend, she would definitely say that. How does Lisa Rinna really feel about this advertisement?

Lisa was completely fine with appearing in a commercial talking about adult diapers. Depend gave $250,000 of her $2 million paycheck to a charity called Dress For Success, according to Radar Online. Lisa was thrilled that she was able to do some good and she shared that news on Twitter. Dress For Success gives women who have had hard times clothing for job interviews and is there for them throughout the process.

In an episode of RHOBH, Lisa Rinna talked about promoting Depend. She explained that she likes to make money in various ways, and she doesn't have a problem with it.

According to The Daily Mail, Lisa said, "To stay relevant I’ve had to re-invent myself over and over again. I like to do things people have no idea I can do. You can either sit and do nothing or you can be proactive and do a lot of things. I’ll do anything to make a buck. I don’t say no to very much."

Lisa also explained, "That Depends [sic] job saved our bacon. I got paid more money to do that than I got paid to do anything in my whole life. I was just winking to the bank."

While Lisa Rinna has had many acting jobs during her career, it's interesting to hear that her Depend salary was her highest yet.

According to Yahoo!, Lisa is happy to do anything that encourages women to love themselves. She said, "I think what I've learned along the way is that if you feel good about yourself, your self-esteem is going to be high, and that's the key. You've gotta feel good about yourself, because if you don't, what you put out into the universe is negativity."

Yahoo! reported that Lisa thought that it would be a good idea to appear in a Depend ad. Since she was on board from the very start, she seems to feel great about it.

After her decision to quit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills was announced, Lisa was interviewed by The Evening Standard. She talked about her Depend commercial and said that it wouldn't make sense to walk away from that kind of salary.

Lisa said, "They paid me a f***ing fortune!’ she exclaims. ‘I had never made that much money in my life. Why would I say no to that? Because people will judge it? I don’t give a sh*t. All the trolls came around and had a heyday, and I was like: “Yeah, go for it. I just made so much money and you didn’t!”’

If there is one Real Housewives cast member who could star in an adult diaper commercial without feeling bad about it at all, it would definitely be Lisa Rinna. She is the kind of person who lives life to the fullest and always seems to enjoy herself.
