You might look at US reality TV stars like Kim Kardashian and think who!?!, but that isn’t stopping them from raking in the cash. In fact stars like Kim, her sisters Klohe and Kourtney and the cast of The Jersey Shore have earned themselves a serious amount of money.
A list of the highest earning US reality stars has been compiled by The Daily Beast (excellent name for a website), and it only includes people who’ve risen to fame via a reality TV show, and who’s TV shows have aired in 2010.
The full, list reads as follows…
Kim Karashaian - $6million
Lauren Conrad - $5million
Bethenny Frankel - $4million
Audrina Patridge - $3.5million
Kate Goslin - $3.5million
The Situation - $3million
Khloe Kardashian - $2.5million
Kourtney Kardashian - $2.5million
Pauly D - $2million
Kendra Wilkinson - $2million
With all the spin-off products – books, fragrances, clothing etc – endorsement and promotional deals that come with being a reality TV star, it’s no wonder those who are famous for being famous are making such huge amount of cash. We wonder if their UK counterparts are doing quite as well?
We’ve now decided that we’d like our own reality show, it looks dead easy and we quite fancy earning a few million pounds.
