Don't forget that Vickie gets whatever money Eddie would have gotten (like for sales of the Eddie Guerrero DVD). She got a pretty easy gig and good pay for it. $500 per appearance for very little work is pretty good, it's not like she actually earned more (no physical work, being legit hated by fans, etc.). WWE didn't even have to hire her, and I suspect that she would have had a job for life if she wanted it, she chose to leave.

As others have said, even WWE wrestlers have to usually pay for their hotel and travel expenses (except for some of the big stars like Triple H and Shawn Michaels, who usually get their travel expenses covered in their contract). Mick Foley even talked in his books about trying to find the cheapest hotel and the cheapest rental car he could find in order to save money (even when in WWE).
