Here’s how much the Love Island USA season seven stars get paid per episode
And this is just the beginning
We know about the potential $100k prize, but outside of that, people are wondering if the Love Island USA cast makes any money. They have to take some time out of their regular lives and jobs to appear on the show. So, with that loss of wages and the bills back home stacking up, let’s take a look at whether the Love Island USA cast gets paid per episode.
Do the Love Island USA cast get paid per episode?
Yes. According to Cosmopolitan, just like the Love Island UK stars, their friends across the pond also get paid per episode.
Cosmo explained that it’s just an estimation, but the UK cast reportedly gets paid around £375 ($500) per week to cover their expenses.
Their intel came from a Hello Magazine report that explains how the Love Island UK stars “receive a fee for being in the villa.”
According to Hello Rayo, a former star of the show, Demi Jones, revealed how much she got paid for being on the show in a since-deleted TikTok video.
She said: “…yeah I got £250 a week. I don’t know if that’s the same now but that’s what I got paid when I was on Winter Love Island and obviously you can make up for any losses if you work hard when you come out.”
The pay per episode is just the start
Of course, the pay per episode is just a drop in the ocean compared to that potential big cash prize at the end of the show.
The winners get to split or share a $100,000 prize, and after that, their earnings could skyrocket even more.
A talent manager named Kennedy Meehan said: “Some of our girls, straight out of the villa, are making $20,000 to $30,000 in a month off of, let’s say, five videos. And that’s on the lower end,” per Business Insider.
Some of the Love Island USA season seven stars were also already rich and somewhat famous before even going on the show.
Ace Greene is one of the richest stars to appear on the series, and his castmates aren’t far behind.
