[WATCH] Kandi Burruss Says Fiance Will Sign Prenup, Confirms BRAVO Working on Wedding Special

For a new reality show, they’re not making anything. If they are getting anything, it may be like $2,500 an episode to $5,000 at the most. At most times, say for instance the women who started out on our show, they didn’t get anything for their first year. They got like $5,000 for the while season just for the use of their house. When I first came on, they didn’t really hardly pay me anything either. A lot of those shows do not pay a lot of money. And that’s what I say to people. Don’t go on the show thinking you’re going to make a big lick off of the salary.

Think more so about…it’s your informercial. How are you going to make this show sell your business, your product or whatever. (If you don’t have a business) then the only thing you’re to do is just make money off the appearances. You see these celebrities doing appearances at clubs. You can [get] a grip off that. The first year of the show, I think I made $200,000 within a month or month in a half. If you’re going to go on a reality show, go into with a purpose. Have a business. Don’t just be happy to be famous. Go in there with your plan already put together.
