Teen Mom Salaries: You Won"t Believe How Rich This Cast Is!

Teen Mom: OG and Teen Mom 2 are among the most popular series in MTV"s storied history.

The stars may not enjoy the same universal name recognition as Snooki or The Situation, but their fans are an intensely devoted bunch with appetitse for every detail of the women"s personal lives.

So it should come as no surprise that there"s considerable interest in just how much the Teen Moms get paid.

Of course, given their many side projects and business ventures, the amount that each cast member pulls in varies wildly from one to the next … but suffice it to say, they"re all doing very well.

Here"s a breakdown of just how much each mom is earning these days:

 

1. Catelynn Lowell: $ 25,000 per episode

Catelynn is earning the standard rate for stars of the original series. And while she has a few other revenue streams in place, she’s not on her 24/7 grind like some of her co-stars.

2. Clothing By Cate

Catelynn and husband Tyler Baltierra recently launched a children’s clothing line. The venture is too new to determine if it will be profitable or not.

3. Amber Portwood: $ 25,000 per episode

Amber also pulls in $ 25,000 for just a few days work on TM:OG. Unlike Catelynn, however, she puts a lot of time into her side businesses.

4. Hard Times For Haute

Amber launched her “online boutique” Forever Haute with the help of then-fiance Matt Baier. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem that the business is faring much better than the relationship. Rumors that Haute is out of business appear to be premature, but multiple insiders have confirmed the site has yet to turn a profit.

5. Maci Bookout: $ 25,000 per episode

Some reality shows pay their more popular cast members a bit extra. Not Teen Mom: OG, however, which keeps the salaries consistent across the board.

6. Off the Bookout

Unlike some of her other cast members, Maci doesn’t seem to have much time for side projects. With three kids to raise and an increasingly problematic ex, we suppose that’s no surprise. Besides, no matter how hard she hustles, Maci could never hope to out-earn TM:OG’s wealthiest star…

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: New, HUGE Salaries Revealed!

This just in:

It pays to throw wine glasses and hurl insults while reading from scripts prepared by Bravo writers.

It pays… and it pays big time.

According to Radar Online, most cast members on The Real Housewives of Atlanta received hefty raises ahead of the ongoing 10th season.

The ladies were in a strong position to negotiate, considering they star on the highest-rated installment of this beloved franchise.

So… who now earns what?

Which polarizing personality received the biggest pay bump of all?

Let’s find out, shall we?

Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10 Episode 7 Online

An insider tells Radar that Cynthia Bailey was the lucky recipient of the most impressive raise, as she now earns $ 1.6 million per season, an increase of $ 400,000 from what she took home last year.

Elsewhere, Kandi Burruss is already the richest Housewife in Atlanta.

But she still managed to talk her way into a $ 200,000 raise; she’s making an even $ 2 million for Season 10.

Then there’s Kenya Moore, who actually risked her franchise future by getting married in secret over the summer.

There was talk that the move would get her fired (because Kenya did not permit network cameras to film the ceremony), but Radar writes Moore did receive a $ 100,000 raise to $ 1.5 million fo Season 10.

However, she was fined $ 25,000 for the wedding fiasco and was banned from a trip the show took to Spain.

What about Sheree Whitfield? Who has actually confessed to dating a prisoner that stole $ 5 million from his victims?

This report claims she is making $ 1 million for the new season, up from $ 800,000 for last season.

The youngest cast member, Porsha Williams, earns the last amount of money… but is still doing darn well for herself.

She went from $ 700,000 last year to $ 800,000 for Season 10, which ain’t too shabby when her job basically just calls for fights with Kim Zolciak.

Finally, we arrive at NeNe Leakes.

The long-time cast member left the franchise for awhile and found some success in the acting realm.

But can you really blame her for returning, considering Radar reports she’s pulling in $ 2.5 million for just these handful of Season 10 episodes?!?

The Real Housewives of Atlanta came back with new installments in early November.

To date, the season has focused on Kenya’s surprise marriage, along with Porsha going on some dates and a whole lot of fighting.

But what else would you expect from these women, right?

And what else would you want from them?

As a certain late Gladiator might say, are you not entertained by NeNe and company every week?!?

Duggar Family Salaries Revealed: They Make HOW MUCH Per Episode?!

Say what you will about the members of the Duggar family, they learn to master the invaluable skill of making a buck from a young age.

Under the tutelage of real estate agent-turned-politician-turned-media-mogul Jim Bob, the Duggar children have learned that no work is beneath them, just as long as it lines their pockets.

Bonus points if the “work” doesn’t require any actual work.

So while it’s the car-flipping and homemaking that receive the most screen time on Counting On, it’s the management of a TV empire that takes up most of the Duggars’ days.

And you probably won’t be surprised to learn that Jim Bob and company are rewarded handsomely for their efforts.

According to a new report from In Touch, reality families on basic cable networks typically earn between $ 25,000 and $ 40,000 per episode.

On top of that, as executive producers, the Duggars are probably rewarded handsomely for reaching certain ratings goals.

And as veteran reality show producer Terence Michael points out, the Duggars home network, TLC, has a reputation for being extremely generous with its top talent.

In fact, Kate Gosselin and family reportedly topped out at about $ 75,000 per episode at the height of their popularity.

It’s also possible that the size of the Duggar clan has been taken into consideration when determining their salary.

After all, that low-ball estimate of $ 25,000 grand may sound like a lot of money, but not when it’s being divided among a dozen or so adults with an ever-growing number of mouths to feed.

So taking into consideration the facts that the Duggar clan was once very popular and is now about the size of a small city, their rate per episode is probably roughly that of Jon and Kate.

The Duggars do multiple seasons per year, and they’ve cranked out an impressive 46 episodes since their new show rose from the ashes of 19 Kids and Counting back in 2015.

Not counting bonuses and other perks (of wish there are probably plenty) that’s nearly $ 3.5 million for less than three years’ work.

Again, not a jaw-dropping quantity of cash, but a pretty nice stream of capital for a family that loves to make their money work for them.

Though the Duggars have been called the Kardashians of Arkansas, that description isn’t entirely accurate.

There are no lavish status symbols being purchased with Counting On cash.

Jim Bob’s hoarding tendencies are well-documented, but for the most part, insiders who know them best say the bulk of Jim Bob and Michelle’s wealth gets re-invested in their business ventures, which these days primarily consist of house and car flipping.

Unfortunately, it seems the younger generation isn’t quite as prudent with their spending.

Not only are they do they lack Jim Bob’s interest in buying and selling houses and cars, some of them don’t appear to be supplementing their incomes in any way, despite enjoying a considerable amount of free time.

For example, Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard, has never held down a job in his time as a married man.

The Dillards have begged for “donations” from fans in the past, and many have wondered how they could possibly be so hard-up for cash.

The answer of course, is that $ 1 million per year is a lot for a large family if they’re smart about–and doesn’t look as though Jill and Derick are.

It may be time for Jim Bob to fork over some cash to pay for financial literacy lessons for some of his less business-savvy kids.

DWTS Cast: Insane Salaries Revealed!!!

Tonight, season 22 premieres on ABC, and you can bet that audiences at home will watch Dancing With The Stars thinking, “how much do these celebrities get paid?”

The longer a celeb contestant can stay on the show, the more money they stand to make.

Last season, mirror ball trophy winner Bindi Iriwin had a base salary of $ 125, according to documents obtained by People.

Weeks 3 and 4 saw her make $ 10,000, with each subsequent week seeing a compensation increase of $ 5,000.  

Week 9 earned her an addition $ 30,000, and weeks 10 and 11 paid out $ 50,000 per week.

That…is a lot of money.

This season, Radar Online took a look at updated contracts for the cast, which includes Mischa Barton, Doug Flutie, Jodie Sweetin, Geraldo Rivera, Ginger Zee, Antonio Brown, Wanya Morris, Von Miller, Nye Dimarco, Marla Maples, Paige VanZant and Kim Fields.

“At least one celebrity was offered a baseline of $ 125,000 for the rehearsals, two weeks on the air before the first elimination, and an appearance at the finale,” the documents read.

“The document claims that beyond that point, contestants who manage to stick around get an extra week of pay for every week they are not eliminated. The grand total if they make it to the finals? It’s a potential $ 345,000!”

The show’s pitch letter brags about how much publicity the contestant will drum up by being part of a “national phenomenon,” and that he or she would be a fool not to accept.

Dancing With The Stars season 22 premieres tonight at 8pm on ABC.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Salaries Revealed: Teresa Giudice Makes HOW MUCH?!

There have been a lot of casting changes and rumors ahead of the seventh season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but here’s what we know for sure so far:

Teresa Giudice will return following a one-year stint in prison.

She’ll be joined by Robyn Levy and Christina Flores (the Housewife franchise’s first lesbian couple), as well as professional matchmaker Siggy Flicker.

Most importantly, everyone will make an insane amount of cash just for doing what they do best – acting like they’re from Jersey.

Several sources are reporting that despite the addition of several newcomers, Teresa and Melissa Gorga will be the only full-time cast members in season 7.

The show will reportedly focus on Teresa’s struggles to adjust to life after prison and Melissa’s efforts to open a clothing boutique.

As they’re now shouldering the ratings burden themselves, it’s not surprising that both ladies are receiving big bucks for their efforts.

Insiders say Teresa will make $ 750,000 per episode, and Melissa will be doing alright for herself at $ 500,000.

No word on how much the new ladies will make, but based on what we’ve heard about Real Housewives of New Jersey salaries in the past, it’s probably not an insane sum, but still enough to totally bum you out if you read about it at work.

Hey, at least Teresa will finally be able to pay back all those creditors! (But will she actually do it?)

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to get caught up in time for the expensive seventh season.
