TLC’s My Big Fat Fabulous Life star Whitney Way Thore is currently recuperating after her broken engagement. She is spending time with her best friend, Buddy Bells, and making most of it. Rumors are that she has started filming for the show’s eight-episode. Amidst this, her fans have always stayed curious about how much Thore makes out of the show. Well, here is everything you need to know about your favorite bubbly star’s estimated net worth. Read on.
Whitney’s Earning From The Reality Show
Whitney struck a deal with TLC after her video promoting body positivity went viral in 2014. Since 2015, she is continuously acting as a lead in the show. Although her salary from the show is unknown, it is rumored that she makes between $5,000 and $10,000 per episode. Terence Michael, a reality producer, told a news tabloid in 2009 that TLC generally doles out 10 percent of its production budget to the cast of a show. However, My Big Fat Fabulous Life has lesser viewers than Counting On or The Little Couple. So, Whitney’s earnings remain a tad bit lower than other stars.
Now that Whitney is done with seven seasons already, she might be making up to more than half a million dollars from episode appearances alone. Moreover, the show has exposed her to different products and ideas. She does make good money from the publicity of these ventures too.
