90 Day Fiance cast members get paid to share their personal lives with viewers, but how much do the reality TV stars actually get paid?
Cast members within the 90 Day Fiance franchise share the ups and downs of their romantic relationships with viewers and, in return, are compensated for filming.
Reality TV personalities often parlay their television fame into job opportunities, and some have had great success in doing so.
Others, however, aren’t interested in capitalizing on their reality television fame. And some were already wealthy before achieving their popularity.
Fans of the 90 Day Fiance franchise are often curious about how much the cast gets paid for sharing their storylines with millions of viewers on TLC.
So, let’s delve in and take a look.
How much do cast members get paid on 90 Day Fiance?
According to an insider who spoke with Radar Online, each spinoff pays their casts differently.
Reportedly, 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days stars make $500 to $1,000 per episode, while 90 Day Fiance cast members receive $1,000 to $1,500 per episode.
To put that into perspective, let’s look at Season 10 of 90 Day Fiance, which featured 20 episodes.
That means cast members earned somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000 for several months of their time.
Apparently, being cast on a spinoff means even more money for the 90 Day Fiance stars.
So, now that we know how much our favorite reality TV cast members are being paid, let’s see who earns the most money.
