These Are The Salaries Of The ‘Sister Wives’ Cast! Do Kody and Robyn get paid more by TLC?
If you’ve ever questioned how much reality TV stars earn, we’ve got some answers for you. Of course, salaries vary depending on which show you’re watching.
For Sister Wives specifically, the Brown family is doing quite well for themselves financially. Here’s a breakdown of how much money the cast members see per episode of their hit TLC show.
The Sister Wives Cast Has Impressive Salaries
According to The Daily News via The Sarah Fraser Show, the five main adults on Sister Wives pocket $40,000 per episode. That’s referring to Kody Brown, Robyn Brown, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown. Since there are about 13 to 17 episodes per season, the cast members are looking at an estimated $600K each.
However, that’s not that surprising considering how successful Sister Wives has been over the years. If the show wasn’t so beloved, there’s no way it would have reached 19 seasons. As ironic as it is, Sister Wives only has a 4.5 rating out of 10 on IMDb.
That’s probably because the show gets a lot of viewers, but they aren’t always pleased by what they see. It can be compared to looking at a car crash. It’s chaotic and devastating, but for some reason, one can’t look away.
What’s Next For The Sister Wives Cast?
Viewers have seen the Browns go through plenty of highs and lows. The fact that three out of four of the women have chosen to divorce Kody says it all. It’s proof that this show is filled to the brim with piping-hot drama.
Is there any chance Kody‘s polygamist family would have stayed perfectly intact if there weren’t reality TV cameras following them around for the last few years?
It’s impossible to guess, but thanks to the exposure the family got from the show, they also pulled in tons of outside criticism and opinions from millions of viewers on social media. There’s a possibility some of the wives were influenced by things they were hearing from fans, and that’s what pushed them in the direction of filing for divorce.
Kody only has one marriage left standing on the show with Robyn. However, his other three exes are still very much part of the cast. That being said, they’re all still pocketing the salaries they deserve to take home, even though they don’t classify as a plural family anymore.
Since Season 19 barely just premiered on September 15, 2024, details about Season 20 haven’t surfaced yet. As of this publication, the show has not been renewed for another season.
If it does indeed get renewed, the adult cast members of the show will be headed for another massive payout. What are your thoughts on the Sister Wives’ salaries? Let us know in the comments and watch the show Sundays on TLC.
