Kristin Cavallari Banks $63,000 Per Episode
Kristin Cavallari was lured back to reality TV as the newest cast member of The Hills.
The 22-year-old will make $63,000 per episode, an insider reveals to Life & Style.
“They needed her,” an insider spills. “The Hills’ ratings were on a decline. They needed someone new and fresh, who also came with buzz and a name that was recognizable. Kristin was the obvious choice.”
And Kristin knew she was worth every penny when it came time to negotiate. “She wanted money,” says the insider. “You don’t have to pay the other girls that kind of money, but for Kristin you had to pay up.”
FYI: Lauren Conrad reportedly was making $65,000 per episode of The Hills.

i don’t know why my comment got moderated. i said i knew holly was going on i’m a celebrity get me out of here because i saw it on lo’s and steph’s tweets.
and then i went on to talk about about how kristen is high drama but she doesn’t pretend to be someone she’s not and she’s just always in the middle of everything. i mentioned how people actually go to school then get careers but will never make what kristen will be getting paid or what lauren got paid in a one year salary. and i said goodluck to her.
maybe i called her a b*tch or something…gah.
@Stacie: @Stacie:
I am with you on this one…same thing with Pratt and Montag. All that money PER episode so they can be an a$$ and a b!tc#??? Seriously? I also agree on the second post…whatever happened to music videos on MTV? Geez! I used to tune in to MTV before for all day music not crappy “reality” shows with idiots.
i’m a fan of the hills (even though 89% of it is fake) and will always be until now
kristin? man, idk. she’s so fake. faker than speidi. i don’t think i’ll be watching next season. might as well go back to gossip girl and 90210, don’t forget about melrose place and all the cool new shows coming out, *******!!!
wow i need to do a show lmaoo lucky *****
@Stacie: wow - what grade?
But seriously Hollywood is insane like that, basically every celeb, no matter what we say about them is making serious money.Its like when Forbes published Hollywoods top earning mothers from last year, and Victoria Beckham was 5th with 18 million earned in that year alone, separate from her husband.Which is insane amount really.
But there you go, certain celebs promote certain brands, and they plug their own brand around the world, so yeah its not fair but its how it is.
y would mtv hire her? teenage girls watch that show. shes a *****/****/*****. do they WANT her to be a bad influence?
Wow, they really rip off us contestants that go on MTV shows for free. I won the 50 Cent show and I got $100,000. She gets that in 2 episodes - it took me 10.
Wow, that makes me sad. What is wrong with the world?
This is just the worst case of wasting money I’ve ever heard!
Kristin win 63,000 per episode, but LAUREN gets 75,000, not 65,000 !!!
Well, I suppose this is what you call her acting career
Hmm…So I did the math: 10 epsides: $630,000. 6 bonus episodes now, and another 6 after next season. That’s very close to $1.5 million a year.RIDICULOUS!
However, if the show averages 4 million viewers again…and MTV makes all that money off sponsorships..why not let the cast get their share? Something tells me her 1.5 million would be VERY little compared to what MTV will make off this show.
She has done nothing since Laguna Beach ended in 06. Yet, she continued to get attention from the media, get on the cover of magazines, and get talked about. She has that “it” factor that has been able to keep her around. I do disagree with the argument that ‘anyone’ who went to her H.S. can be famous - she works the cameras well and does what it takes to get a certain demographic to keep tuning in…it works.
Good for her for making good money with NO education.
KRISTIN IS SUCH AN UGLY *****!!!
I.LOVE.LAUREN!!!
LOVE HER!!! I Cant waiiiiiittttt
omg she is beautiful
@Chris:

Well i watched laguna beach and the show was only good cause of her. Its gonna be really good with kristin in it. Cause she doesn’t hold back at all!!!! She knows exactly what she is doing! kudos Kristin! you are hot
i for one LOVE Kristin Cavallari! She is soooo effing hilarious! I can not wait to watch Kristin! Its gonna be great television. ps audrina is so annoying and i hope she gets her butt kicked by Kristin hehehe
I guess the drama she bring on it worth that much!!
LOL. A teacher said what are we teaching our kids by paying reality stars that much money than paying a teacher or nurse. First off, teachers are ugly and they are just expensive babysitters. Teachers are getting overpaid, anything over $38,000/year is way too much for a teacher. A nurse is nothing more than an expensive pooper scooper. Nurses should not get paid more than $45000/year. They’re just doctor rejects.
Team Kristin. She’s such a hottie!!! LC ~ Lame Chick. LC made the show boring.
63,000 ^___^
