That Siesta Key cast members get paid a lot to appear on the show isn’t a surprise. Since debuting in 2017, it has become one of MTV’s most popular reality shows and viewers can’t seem to get enough. As a result, the group of seven attractive young adults that make up the cast have become extremely popular and it reflects in their net worth.
The financial impact of being a cast member isn’t just a matter of salary per episode or residuals either. Becoming one of the most recognizable faces on television has made several of them brand magnets, trading their online fame and growing audience for ad revenue. But income from brand endorsements and sponsorships is harder to track, unlike their individual salary on the show. So, if you’ve ever wondered how much the cast of Siesta Key makes, keep reading.
Juliette Porter
Juliette is one of two cast members who has appeared on all episodes of the show. While it’s true that she makes a lot of money outside of the show, being on the show has been very good for her pockets as well. MTV hasn’t published a definitive list of how much it pays the cast, but she reportedly makes $35,000 per episode.
Of course, she didn’t start out making serious bucks. Standard practice suggests she got a serious pay bump after the show’s successful first season. With her salary and non-show income, which includes a clothing company, Juliette Porter is worth $400,000.
Kelsey Owens
As an original member of the cast, it goes without saying that Kelsey probably makes a pretty penny from the show. Her net worth is estimated to be around $2 million, but it appears that the majority of her money comes from modeling and not from reality TV. That said, she’s one of the top-earning cast members on Siesta Key at $20 – 35,000 per episode. Well, was. She was fired at the end of the fourth season.
Amanda Miller
If there’s a Siesta Key cast member you can safely assume gets paid serious bucks, it’s Amanda Marie Miller. She’s appeared in all episodes of the show except one. However, she wasn’t a main cast member until season four. This likely means that her salary has increased as well. While she may not be able to command $200,000 to $400,000 a season like some of the other cast members, chances are that Amanda isn’t hurting for money. Estimated salary? $20,000 per episode.
Madisson Hausburg
Madisson Hausburg has all of the makings of a successful reality TV star. She’s beautiful, stylish, and fun. What many people don’t realize, however, is that there’s much more to Madisson than being on reality TV. Prior to being on the show, she was a preschool teacher and has a degree in engineering. But at around $20,000 per episode, her income from Siesta Key dwarfs her preschool salary.
Brandon Gomes
Brandon Gomes is the type of person who can do a little bit of everything. Being on a reality TV show like Siesta Key has helped him grow his platform as a performer. Exact Net Worth reports that Brandon is worth approximately $200,000 based on an estimated $20,000 per episode. He has also made money from appearing in The First Time Club in 2017.
Garrett Miller
Garrett is another Siesta Key OG cast member which means he gets paid a nice salary for being on the show. Based on what some of the other cast members are estimated to make, we can confidently guess that he makes somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000 per season. Outside the show, he has a personal training company. Garrett Miller Fitness charges customers between $100 and $350 for fitness plans.
Chloe Trautman
Being on reality TV may seem like one of the easiest jobs in the world, but that isn’t always the case. Some reality TV stars have found that being on these shows can be a very draining experience due to all of the drama. That drama was the reason that Chloe Trautman decided to leave the show during the fourth season. She left when Siesta Key cast members got paid a fraction of what they earn now, which is why her net worth is lower compared to the rest. Her net worth has been reported to be $200,000.
Cara Geswelli
Cara has been a recurring cast member on Siesta Key since season two, and she’s gotten very popular during her time on the show. The exact amount she makes from the show is unknown, but it’s believed that her net worth is around $100,000. But making less money than other cast members may not matter. Cara comes from a wealthy family. Her father is the president of a jewelry company, and her mother’s sister, Paula Fortunato, was married to a billionaire.
Alex Kompothecras
Despite being fired for racist behavior, Alex Kompothecras is the richest person to appear on the MTV hit series. He’s worth $2 million thanks to his father’s wealth. Gary Kompothecras founded the medical referral service, 1-800-ASKGARY, and funded the show’s pilot before it was sold to MTV. So while Alex is no longer getting paid the big bucks for being an OG Siesta Key cast member, it’s safe to say he’s doing fine.
