Hulu just dropped The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives<\/a> season 3, and we have some questions: 1) Can MomTok even survive this? and 2) how much is the cast being paid? Because as you might have noticed, a lot of this season\u2019s drama stems from money\u2014and how far everyone\u2019s willing to go to make it. <\/p>\n

Obviously an investigation is in order, so here\u2019s what we’ve uncovered so far:<\/p>\n

How Much Does MomTok Earn From Brand Deals?<\/p>\n

MomTok \u201cis a community\u201d but it\u2019s also a money making machine. The group is deep in its sponsored content era, and pretty much everyone is reaping the benefits. I mean, Mikayla Matthews literally started season 2 by informing everyone that \u201cthe brand deals have been way up\u2014my husband, his entire yearly salary is how much I make on one brand deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

So…how much money are we talking, exactly?<\/p>\n

Whitney Leavitt got into specifics during an interview with E! News<\/a> last year, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s hard because each year is different. You could get a really big brand deal like, \u2018Hey, we want to have like a six-month contract with you,\u2019 and then next year you don\u2019t get it at all. It varies drastically.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whitney noted that she once got $20,000 to promote a sex toy on Instagram, while Mayci Neeley explained, “We both have gotten one\u2014we can\u2019t say what it was\u2014but we\u2019ve gotten a deal that was $75,000 [for] one year. Each industry varies. Some pay more than the others.”<\/p>\n

What Does The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Pay Per Episode?<\/p>\n

Hulu hasn\u2019t divulged that information, but the show got pretty meta about money during season 2, and it sounds like everyone is paid the same. At least based on the fact that Jessi Ngatikaura was asked, “Are you worried Demi was willing to take a bigger contract even if it meant you potentially being dropped from the show?” Which seems to imply that in order for one cast member to earn more, another has to be chopped.<\/p>\n

Mayci gave even more insight into the situation, explaining, “Demi basically was willing for Jessi to be off the show if she could kinda get paid more,” while Taylor Frankie Paul noted, “Demi was willing to let Jessi go off the show for more money.”<\/p>\n

And it seems like this drama went down during contract negotiations for season two, since Jessi mentioned a \u201ccall with our lawyers and managers,\u201d and Demi referenced a \u201cmutual understanding\u201d that everyone was going to \u201ccome in fighting for everything as a united front\u201d until Jessi \u201cdogged us and went around us.\u201d<\/p>\n

On top of all that, Taylor further implied that everyone on the show is paid the same when she said, \u201cIf anyone has the right to be paid the most, it\u2019s me, and I’ve never even asked for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The TL;DR?<\/p>\n

1) The cast is making upwards of $75k per brand deal.<\/p>\n

2) Everyone appears to be making the same amount for the show.<\/p>\n

3) Their pay-per episode hasn\u2019t been revealed. Yet. Give the internet time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3 min read Hulu just dropped The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3, and we have some…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":131642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[635,82285,637,146,85,46,1975,82284,411],"class_list":["post-131641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-content-type-news","tag-contentid-843c0cfa-ec7d-4ac5-97e7-1460275675ef","tag-displaytype-standard-article","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-locale-us","tag-shorttitle-inside-the-insane-salaries-of-the-slomw-cast","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/131642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
