The Stars get paid $ 125,000 for the first 2 episodes and then $20,000 for each week thereafter . They also get an addition $50,000 bonus if they make it to week nine of the competition.
So it works out to a maximum of $ 245,000 after it is all said and done which is not all that much considering how much the ABC and the Advertisers make off the show.
(meaning . . . you are not too bright to suggest junior college as the responsible financial decision)
