The young parents of MTV’s hit show ‘Teen Mom’ are making a pretty good living for being a bunch of teenagers. A series insider exclusively tells Life & Style magazine that the “stars earn $60,000 to $65,000 per season.” That’s more than many reality stars, but not as much as their fellow MTVers at the ‘Jersey Shore.’
“It’s a monster hit,” an insider tells me. “With ratings like that they deserve to be well compensated.”
Indeed it’s one of the biggest shows on the network and judging by amount of magazine covers they grace, the ‘Teen’ stars are arguably more bankable than those ‘Jersey’ boys and girls.
The $60k a year is enough money to provide on-again off-again couple Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley with comfortable lives, but neither one seems to be a good saver. “Gary says he’s broke,” Gary’s best friend, Jordan Sanchez, tells Life & Style. “The money is the only reason he’s willing to do the show. You can’t walk away from money like that.”
Which is exactly the case and Amber and Gary have already started filming the next season of the show.
“They’re filming in Tennessee,” Jordan says, but they are talking about moving to Florida, where Amber’s uncle owns a business.
Please make this stop. Please.
