I always laugh when people say how wealthy Meghan is/was. She is/was not, absolutely not. At most, she could have taken home between US$10-30,000 per episode (probably somewhere in the middle), and even that's debatable as the ratings were down and they were cost-cutting - hence why she was written out. She was also given perks - such as the Audi car lease (quite common in showbiz), and contribution towards her rental. *Allegedly* She was very determined to find a hu$band who could provide a wonderful future for her, and *allegedly* believed that she could somehow wing it that she would be Queen one day. There are many pictures out there of her at gifting suites around awards time, acting like a pig with her snout up to the trough, trying to score as much of the good stuff as she could get.
