It’s well known that celebrities generally charge a lot of dollary doos for their time, and the leaked I’m A Celebrity Australia cast salaries shine a light on just how much.
During a segment on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick, the host speculated how much 2024 contestant Frankie Muniz was paid to appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Australia 2024.
Then, co-host Brendan Fevola, who won the second season, revealed the huge amount he received to take part.
“In 2015, I got paid $250,000 upfront. And then $5,000 every show after the [first] two weeks. So, you’d lay there on a Sunday, and you’d hope there’s not another eviction, so you get another 7 days and there’s another $35,000,” he said.
“Every time I’d lay on the bed I’d think, ‘Oh God, there’s another five grand…’, because I was broke.”
It’s famously known that Shane Warne received the biggest salary out of any contestant to be on the show, and Fevola, who starred in the same season, revealed exactly what that was.
“Just over two million [dollars]. He had a clause [in his contract[ that if he left, he didn’t get anything. So, he had to stay in – and there was one time where he was like, ‘man, I’m done,’ and I would go, ‘man, 2.2 million (dollars), don’t leave!’”
What about the charities?
I’m A Celebrity must cost a helluva a lot to make, because it’s not just the contestants who receive a chunk of money.
Each contestant picks a charity close to their heart prior to heading into the jungle, and if they win the show, their charity receives $100,000.
A few of this year’s charities include Bully Zero, RizeUp Australia and The Little Legs Foundation.
Watch I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia season 10 at 7.30 pm Sunday – Wednesday on 10 and 10Play.
