Getting paid to be live on television makes sense to many of us, but only a few are actually ready to face the challenges and to stand by what is right even if they are criticized for their decisions. Whether it is the matter to compete on TV for cash prizes or to be filmed while walking, eating, sleeping, and fighting in a house, reality TV stars get heavily paid. What they earn depends on how many people like them and how the ranking of a particular show goes up. The fact is that some reality television stars earn a lot, and it may not be possible for you to guess until you have heard or read it about. In 2021, Jason Tartick launched a podcast named Trading Secrets in which he broke the stigma that people should not talk about money.
“Once a month, our goal is to do a reality TV series,” the Bachelorette alum told revealed when the podcast was launched. “And we want to cover every single reality TV show out there to understand the differences — how are these people compensated? How have they been compensated after the show? Did they go back to work? Did they lose their job? How much did it cost to go on the show? Did it positively or negatively impact [you] … maybe you had to seek other expenses, such as therapy or things like that, and what is the cost of that? We want to uncover all that.” Besides, Jason Tartick talked about his salary during the reality TV show and shared details on the salaries of many other stars after interviewing them. He claimed that he, Blake Horstmann, and Colton Underwood were given a salary of $100,000 per season in 2019 when the 23rd season of The Bachelor was run. More details are given below.
