The Pitiful Earnings Of 90 Day Fiancé Guests

90 Day Fiance is one of TLC’s most popular shows, which follows the efforts of international individuals hoping to land their K-1 visa while tying the knot with their American partners within a period of 90 days. Each episode follows the struggles and developments of various couples, who happen to be lowly compensated for their participation. Radar discussed with an anonymous source how little each couple is actually paid, which comes to between $1,000 and $1,500 each episode. Even worse, some individuals will not even be paid. For example, Nikki Cooper and Chris Thieneman, who are David Toborowsky’s friends, would not see a single dollar for their appearances.

Kody Brown’s Spouses Needed Side Jobs

Kody Brown is one busy husband and father, what with his 18 children born of four wives. The expansive family’s life was documented in the TLC show, Sister Wives. Kody and his four spouses make a 10% rate of every episode, which comes to $25,000 to $40,000 following every airing. At the end of each year, the Browns will earn just $400,000, according to CheatSheet. While this would be an enormous sum for a smaller family, with 23 mouths to feed, the Browns would struggle to make ends meet if they solely relied on TLC. Some of the wives have then started their own workstreams, such as Meri Brown, who established a bed and breakfast.
