REALITY STAR: PRACTICALLY NOTHING-$200K AN EPISODE Sure, if youre a member of the Duck Dynasty clan — or a Kardashian — you can make millions (like Kourtney and Kims reported $40 million, three-year deal with E!, or the Robertson familys more than $200,000 an episode deal with A&E for Dynasty). Even D-list celebs who go on Wife Swap can make decent money: $10,000 to $20,000 an episode. But for the vast majority of reality show performers — unfamous Bachelor contestants and other run-of-the mill reality hopefuls — jury duty pays better. Youre given a minimal stipend to compensate for missed wages, and thats pretty much it. The real money in reality comes from parlaying your TV profile into something larger, the way Housewives star Bethenny Frankel managed to land that $100 million Skinnygirl deal in 2011. Mike The Situation Sorrentino spun six seasons on MTVs Jersey Shore into $9 million from endorsements of products including vitamins, clothing, jewelry and sunglasses. Those deals are rare these days, but on a more modest scale, hot-ish reality stars can pick up an easy $5,000 to $10,000 just for showing up for paid appearances at bars and nightclubs. hollywoodreporter/news/hollywood-salaries-revealed-movie-stars-737321?facebook_20141012
