‘Teen Mom OG’ Is Returning to MTV With a New Season — See What’s in Store!

Jenelle Evans

Jenelle said during Jared and Katie in the Morning for 17.5 KZL in 2015 that she's made around half a million dollars off the series.

“I wouldn’t really say that [I’ve made a million dollars],” she said. “I would say a little bit over maybe half [a million]? I’m not really allowed to discuss it.”

A separate source told Star (via Radar Online), “Jenelle gets paid $75,000 a year and her mom gets paid $65,000: she calls her an overpaid babysitter. She also gets a lot of gift cards to places like The Olive Garden from MTV as a bonus payment.”

Chelsea Houska

Adam Lind claimed in March 2016 that Chelsea made $250,000 for season 6, and believed “Chelsea’s contract will be up to 300k plus for new seasons.”

The Ashley's Reality Roundup backed up this claim.

Maci Bookout

Maci gave fans a glimpse of what she makes in her book Bulletproof in 2015 — and to be honest, it sounded pretty modest.

“Reality TV can make you very famous, but you basically get the s–t end of the deal: Everyone knows your name and talks about you, but there’s no red-carpet prestige or glamorous piles of money. Once you become a so-called reality TV star, people immediately think you’re a high-end celebrity and you travel the world and have a mansion and so much money and all these other things they associate with having your face on television. The fact is, my real life isn’t that much different from what it would have been without MTV. I still live in Chattanooga and go to Wal-Mart and buy bread and milk.”

Amber Portwood

Today revealed in 2011 that Amber made $140,000 per six-month contract — which adds up to $280,000 per year. That's why she was able to post her $5,000 bail so easily.

Catelynn Lowell

Star's report also shared insight when it came to Catelynn and her now-husband, Tyler Baltierra.

“Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra have enough money to buy both of their mom’s cars, and Tyler paid for his sister to get a boob job.”

The couple was also rumored to rake in $100,000 for filming Couple's Therapy.

Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham made her $3-6 million dollar fortune — yes, you read that right — from Teen Mom, Couples Therapy, Single AF, and more. According to several reports, the 26-year-old brings in $30,000+ per episode of TMOG, but most of her wealth comes from her brand/marketing deals.

The Squander estimates her links with CamSoda — where she reportedly gets paid a whopping $12,000 per uh, sexy video — plus her partnerships with brands like Raspberry, totals millions of dollars over the last few years.

Kailyn Lowry

Kailyn gave birth to her third child earlier this year, and although it's been rumored that the girls get a bonus for having more children, that hasn't been confirmed. The reality star is estimated to be bringing in a cool $300,000 per season, which doesn't include any of the bonuses they receive or gifts they're given while they are filming. Not to mention all the Starbucks their producers buy them!

On top of that, Kail has a podcast with Chrisley Knows Best star Lindsie Chrisley and has several books and endorsement deals — as seen on her Instagram account.

Briana DeJesus

The newest member of Teen Mom 2 apparently isn't making nearly as much as her MTV co-stars, which is surprising considering all the drama she's been stirring up! The former Teen Mom 3 star joined the cast of TM2 earlier this year and is reportedly only bringing in $20,000 for the season — an amount 15 times smaller than that of Kailyn Lowry, for example. Guess she's got to earn her keep?
