Report: Kate Gosselin Makes $250K Per Episode Of Kate Plus 8

Posted on Fri Aug 13, 2010 04:15 PM PDT

katesmile230.jpgKate Gosselin is making bank for being a mom to her eight kids on camera. The reality TV star pockets a quarter of a million dollars per episode of TLC's Kate Plus 8, according to TV Guide.

This kind of per-episode salary is up there with some TV veterans. Check out what some of your favorites make:

Hugh Laurie (House) $400,000+
Laurence Fishburne (CSI) $350,000
Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy) $250,000
Jon Hamm (Mad Men) $100,000
Anna Paquin (True Blood) $75,000
Jane Lynch (Glee) $50,000
Ashley Tisdale (Hellcats) $30,000
Matthew Morrison (Glee) $30,000
Snooki (Jersey Shore) $30,000

Crazy to think that Ms. Gosselin is making as much as Patrick Dempsey! The good doctor may need a defibrillator when he finds this out.



Are you surprised some of these stars make as much as they do?

She deserves it after all the BS the press puts her through.

Mooch-elle does it on tax payer dime, celebs are entertainers.

So while she sits back with that paycheque, not mention the freebee's tummy tuck, breast implants, veneers, mansion, designer clothing, trips, cars etc... and says that other single mothers can relate to her life. Seriously are you kidding. I can't afford to get my own teeth fixed. She gets paid more then that guy from Mad Men. I am shocked, she played alot ot people. I will never watch her show again. I'm actually ashamed of myself for feeling bad for her when she said that her husband wasn't paying enough in child support. wow

Hugh Laurie is worth every penny.

Now is this just for this dumb bitch or is it for all the kids included?
If it is for everyone and a good chunk goes into a trust for the kids fine, but if this is just for her then that is bullsh!t.

Good for her.
At least she's not on welfare.

the kids get paid sep. it is up to the mother if she can spend it on them or put part of it away bottom line she can take there pay and do whatever she wants

to 4:59 it is the tax payers that pay her the salary. we pay for tlc

Kate is only doing this for the money and not for the kids if you see the show look closely to the kids faces they look un-happy and even look depressed she needs to put them first before she puts herself....she is a selfish ass b**ch!!!!

lOVE Kate, she is so down to earth and a great mom working hard to support her ex jerk too.

Kate puts on a mommy act for the cameras, must be nice to deliver sextuplets and land yourself a show. Kate was a nobody until having twins and sextuplets. Her kids are a paycheck for her, child exploitation. What man would want her and all the baggage that comes with it! Yikes Sorry the kids seem happier when with Jon!

this woman is stupid. she only cares about herself and how she looks. she needs to get over it and get a real job.



Posted by: Anonymous

get a real job kate. you only care about your hair, your boobs, your tummy tuck. grow up and start really taking care of your kids.



Posted by: Anonymous

Wow, that's a lot of money. I didn't even think anyone bothered watching her show. I wish I made that much!



Posted by: Anonymous

definite child exploitation. her kids will have some psych mental issues when they grow up.



Posted by: Anonymous

what a waste of money...



Posted by: Anonymous

don't forget she gets to go to the Emmy's, which means free designer clothing, free jewelry, free hotel, free airplane ride, free limo. Then free couple of days all expenses paid in LA. My friends and I decided that were not gonna watch the Emmy's this year to show our support for the children that she is exploiting to further her wallet and because she wants fame so much. Bad move on the Emmy's part to include this thing.

Nice world these days when idiots get paid exhorbitant amounts of money. Wouldn't watch her show for any reason.
Don't want to encourage her.

Hey, lets see. Get invitro pop out a buch of kids. Use them/live off them/ruin there childhood and get lots and lots of money. Oh yeah act like your just as poor as real single mothers.

Kate is such a phony. She wants everyone to think that she barely makes it. She said she could not retire now because of a legal debt. Bull... She is so phony.

I prefer to watch my own kids, and grandkids... than to help her make more money, more money, more money...in her pockets.

I don't watch her show. ha ha... I would rather take my grandkids to the zoo than to watch her take her kids to Hawaii...and Colorado...and wherever..

what cost a HEART-OPERATION, folks?

God how she plays people. If you watched the show when it first aired you seen a bully who wanted everyone to bow down to her. Now because of idiots like me who watched her she has a mansion,plastic surgery,designer clothes,trips,and alot more. Now I feel bad for those poor kids my god what she has does to them. She has said many times she wants to be famous. She is hardly at home with the kids. The are being raised by nannies and maids that TLC pays for. When she is there she taking trips, buying stuff all that and she's getting 250,000.00 to do it. Just think while people sit there and watch 4 episodes she has made 1 million dollars. Plus the FREEBEE'S OH MY GOD!!!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

It is absolutely shameful for this manipulitive witch to be raking in these bucks on the backs of her indentured little slaves (kids). I hope child protective svcs. takes a regular look in on her when the cameras aren't rolling, and there are not any nannies around doing the mommying. Shes emotionally void of interest in her children outside of the salary they provide her through this t.v. show. Karma, she is in for a big dose of it ane plenty for that loser ex-husband of hers as well.

Maybe she'll use all that money to buy a new personality. Bitch!

KATE PLEASE GO AWAY!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

I think people are too hard on her. She has eight kids, and a douchebag ex-husband who is no help. I think that would make me a bitch. She seems like she does what she can to support her brood- its not a traditional path but to expose her entire life and her kids' lives- she SHOULD demand to be compensated generously. People need to stop confusing SMART for being a BITCH.



Posted by: Anonymous

$250,000 an episode will fund 2 kids' college tuitions... when you have 8 kids- you would be an idiot to turn that down.



Posted by: ELLIE

AND SHE PISSES AD MOANS SHE IS BROKE! GIVE ME A BREAK. AND SHE DOES NOT DESERVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. FOR WHAT! SHE CANNOT ACT. AND WHEN I FOUND SHE MAKES MORE THAN JULIANNA MARGUILES I WANTED TO BARF. JULIANNA IS A WONDERFUL ACTRESS. SHE DESERVES MORE.



Posted by: Anonymous

The media seems to have a personal vendetta against Kate, maybe if she used the kids to promote gay and left wing propaganda they would portray her as some kind of hero like they do with jolie....



Posted by: Anonymous

to the person who said that she deserves it due to what the press puts her through, don't forget she wouldn't be anywhere if it wasn't for the press. Who watches that show?



Posted by: Anonymous

I've noticed a backlash against political celebs .



Posted by: Anonymous

I think the celebs make money even when they are chased by the papps. Even bad publicity is money in their pockets. I think they have to be paid for any pics they put up because they are copyrighted or whatever. So, use your own judgment. So many times they call the papps to get publicity and money in their bank accounts...all the celebrities do it. They have the copyrights on their kids also...so when the papps take pics of their kids also..thats money in their bank accounts.

Why you think so many like Gwen Stefani, jessica alba, even britney ...are always surrounded by the papps. None of them have done anything lately career wise so even papp money is better than none.

I watched this lady's show a couple of times when it first started...and I said I must be nuts to sit here and watch her doing fun things with her kids...while mine are not getting those nice things. Heck we are lucky if we get to go to the zoo.
But ..I do spend more time with them now...thanks to that show. ha ha ha..
No mo money from me Kate plus 8.



Posted by: Anonymous

When her show comes on..if everyone would get up and take their kids outside or go for an ice cream...or anything...
she would not be making that money.
plus you would not feel so angry about her and her kids.
Soon you wont hear of her show being on anymore.
She has made enough for her retirement. And she has enough for her kids and probably yours to go to college. lol
The books she wrote, the show,(s)..dancing..etc...she is loaded.

Your choice...

HOW ABOUT DEADLIEST CATCH - ANYBODY KNOW WHAT THE CAPTAINS MAKE?



Posted by: Anonymous

Wow so much hate, you would think Kate is a gasp republican in showbiz yikes.



Posted by: Anonymous

does each kid also make 250K? or nothing? or is it the lump sump for 9 people?



Posted by: Anonymous

Kate gets 250,000.00 for herself, plus when she uses products on the show gets paid, when she makes public appearances plus the free stuff on the show like trips, food, clothes, the mansion, etc... the kids money is paid to her separately and it is up to her to do what she wants with there money plus there free stuff. They won't disclose there salary because they are underage. I can't believe she makes over a million dollars every 4 episodes. I'm never going to watch this show ever again.



Posted by: Anonymous

how does she make the kind of money when only abt 5 mil watch her show? I cant believe she makes more money than Ana paquin and sue syvester



Posted by: Anonymous

People-stop watching this lame show! She is set for life, and can support her kids into college already! She makes addtional income by putting her name on books, etc etc, Meanwhile he looks after the kids when she is always away or getting her nails done??? Her kids deserve to be off camera and have normal lives or they may become needy and messed up in the future. Shes banked enough money now go away for good.



Posted by: Anonymous

she laughs at all the women that watch her show. Your all making her rich. I made the mistake of watching the kate make me rich you uneducated women show when it first came out. Then I heard how she belittled her husband and children and decided that I would not contribute to her bank account and to the downfall of those innocent children. Be smart people stop watching it, you'll never have the rich life she has.



Posted by: Anonymous

I'd rather watch Kate than those angry hags over at the only one "VIEW" allowed.

Child Exploitation that's what it's all about! 1 year ago, she was crying how will I feed my children during the divorce. BS



Posted by: me in dc

Divide $250,000 by 9 and you get $27,777 per episode, each. There are nine of them on the show. If she's making $250K by herself, and the kids are making something too, then good for her! To: 4:35 a.m., a year ago, her job was pulled out from underneath her by Jon, she had no regular income.


The fact that she gets paid for using advertised products is a normal television payment. Hello, look how many movie stars make commercials, you see named products on other television shows, all for the money. The money the actors will make for promoting the item.

Leave Kate alone, she is a decent mother, her children are happy and healthy, her ex-husband is an idiot, she is doing well and providing well for her children. Just because she is 'set for life' doesn't mean she should just stop working.

If you don't like her, don't like her shows, then don't read about her, don't post about her, and don't watch her shows. By doing so, you are contributing to her fame and fortune.

It is ridiculous how much this irritating witch makes! How insulting for Patrick Dempsey and anybody making less than her!!!

I dont think that she deserves to be paid that much per show. I think she is a good mum, but has totally changed her image for the purpose of the media.Im very mixed minded about her. She isnt a celebrity, but fair play to her for all the free stuff she gets. Come on, would you turn it down??!!!



Posted by: Anonymous

That is insane. I can't believe anyone watches that show. She needs a serious attitude adjustment.

What went wrong on The X Factor today with Britney Spears?

Britney definitely had another meltdown. This is proof she's not ready to step back into the spotlight!
I think Britney may have overreacted to a bad audition, but it will be entertaining to watch later!
I think Simon Cowell planned this all along. Brit probably even rehearsed it!
