Introduction
Big Brother 28’s “Time Trip” season brought together one of the most career-diverse casts in the show’s history — a jumbotron engineer, a rocket scientist, an MMA fighter, an attorney, and three returning reality TV veterans, all under one roof chasing a $750,000 grand prize. Naturally, that mix has fans searching for more than just game strategy — they want to know what these houseguests actually do for a living, and what they might be worth.
Below is a full breakdown of all 17 Big Brother 28 houseguests, grouped by career type rather than a strict dollar-for-dollar ranking, since none of this cast has publicly disclosed real net worth figures. Where we’ve published a full deep-dive on a houseguest, you’ll find a link to it for the complete story.

The Rest of the Cast
Angela Murray brings the most reality TV mileage of anyone in the house. A 52-year-old real estate agent from Syracuse, Utah, she previously competed on Big Brother 26, where she finished in sixth place after a famously chaotic run, and later raced alongside her daughter on The Amazing Race 38. As a working real estate agent with over two decades in the field, her income is tied to the local Utah housing market rather than any single reality TV payday.
Dee Valladares enters Big Brother with more competition winnings than almost anyone else in the house. The 29-year-old entrepreneur from Miami won Survivor 45 outright, then returned for Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans. Survivor’s winner prize is $1 million before taxes, giving Dee a confirmed financial head start most of her castmates don’t have — though how much of that remains, combined with her entrepreneurial ventures, isn’t public information.
Mallory Aurichio, 24, works as a rocket scientist from Township of Washington, New Jersey — one of the most specialized and highly technical careers in this cast. Aerospace engineering roles typically offer strong, stable salaries, though her exact earnings aren’t public.
LaTrice “LaLa” Verrett, 57, is the oldest houseguest this season, working as a boutique salesperson from Kankakee, Illinois, now living in Maplewood, New Jersey. Retail sales income can vary significantly with commission structure and store performance.
Ashley Trail, 24, works as a bartender from Alton, Illinois. Like most service-industry income, her earnings likely combine base pay with tips and aren’t publicly documented.
Why Net Worth Figures Are So Hard to Pin Down for This Cast
Unlike movie stars or musicians, reality TV houseguests generally don’t have public financial disclosures, endorsement contracts, or salary databases to pull from. Most of what circulates online for reality contestants comes from unverified aggregator sites making educated guesses based on profession and age — which is why we’ve avoided presenting speculative numbers as confirmed fact throughout this cast breakdown.

Conclusion
Between an MMA fighter, a rocket scientist, a drag performer, and a two-time Survivor winner, Big Brother 28’s cast is one of the more professionally varied groups the show has ever assembled — but almost none of them have put a real number on what they’re worth. As the season plays out, we’ll keep updating individual profiles with confirmed details as they become available.
