Kenya no chance.
I think people are very naive to assume that because you're a big character on the show you'll get paid a lot. You're paid based on what the show thinks it can pay you.
Unlike all the others Kenya seems to have no other form of income, no real bargaining chips and no decent team managing her extra-curricular business.
I mean even Porsha has hired a pretty decent professional team to help run her affairs who will undoubtedly negotiate all deals... hence her having all these sidelines and non stop appearances. Kenya side projects have been self funded at a loss or been arranged by the show.
And that's the thing, as big as a star of a show you might be if you don't have the top people negotiating for you it's a problem. Also if you have no other sidelines which the show gets a cut of that's gonna affect your salary band. As is the perception that you don't have a job and thus need this one.
Kenya's only bargaining chip is threatening to walk away and Bravo are notoriously tough on that, never letting anyone win that kind of battle.
