How Much Does Return To Amish Cast Make?
TLC’s Return to Amish cast makes $1,000 per episode. They are compensated comparably to the cast of other similar television shows.
It’s likely that certain aspects of Return to Amish are fabricated for reality television entertainment, but there’s still a lot of truth to the stories being told by the casts on the show.
With that said, viewers often wonder if the people appearing on the show are paid.
According to Sabrina, one of the cast members of the show, they are paid for their time on the show.
And while she didn’t spill much about her paycheck, MoneyWise reported the stars of another TLC series, 90 Day Fiance, make $1,000 (approximately) each per episode.
Talking more, 90 Day Fiance Season 2 star Danielle Jbali shared that the cast members get paid around $10,000 -half up front and half if they stay in all episodes of the season- during an interview on the Domenick Nati Show.
Like Return to Amish, 90 Day Fiance debuted in early 2014 on TLC and has run for nine successful seasons. The show profiles couples who either applied for or received a K-1 visa.
Both being TLC series, it would make sense for the Return to Amish stars to earn around the same amount.
