Why the Hell Does "the Hills" Cast Make so Much Money?

I definitely understand how the ensemble cast of Friends **turned from a group of nobody's to a **cast **of somebody's who can now command **hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode in any TV show **that they do. And millions of dollars for each **movie.

But the cast of "The Hills"? Take a deep breath before contemplating how much each cast member earns per episode.

These figures are based from Defamer:

Lauren Conrad: $75,000 per episode
Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode
Audrina Patridge: $35,000 per episode
Whitney Port: $20,000 per episode
******Brody Jenner:** $10,000 per episode
Lauren "Lo" Bosworth: $10,000 per episode
Stephanie Pratt: $8,000 per episode

Isn’t that absolutely insane? If you're like me who's a hater of "The Hills" – you'll be stunned by the fact that a lot of zeros are attached to these people's salaries for that crap of a show.

Whitney makes that much money for each episode – and all she does is ask: "So what did you do this weekend?"

And Heidi and Spencer get to show their faces for all the paparazzi to see for basically doing nothing. Geez, all I can do is sigh at the **unfairness **of it all!

its actually true.. but as of now.. Lauren makes 100,000 per show! stop hating nd get your own hustle.

how about the fact that its probably a LIE they don't make close to that much, the people who PROMOTE the show post this shit all over the web to make EVERYONE ELSE JEALOUS HELLOOO don't believe everything you read on the internets

OMG they make more then thats why they buy spend and never save on shit like 4,000 dollar drinks there not even that specail but i love they show

Well Mtv is a very popular channel. With a LOT of reality Tv shows. It should be more of music but its not. And people love to see drama. This show has a lot of drama. I think that they are acting. Like i don't think that they hate each other. And didn't Lauren sign a contract to make the most money? Why is she leaving?

Basically they get paid that much because it's the industry. Same as why doctors and lawyers get paid so much, i understand they are doing different jobs to tv stars but it's still the same. Charlie Sheen from Two and Half men makes $1.25 million an episode and he is undergoing assualt charges. So I think before you questeion a group of people who get paid $125000 an episode, you should ask why a man who is accused of assualting his wife gets paid over $30 million a year.

i watch the hills occasionally if its on, and if im honest, i do enjoy it for some reason, i think its becasue its interesting to see how rich people live there lives compared to us normal people, but...this is just RIDICULOUS. why so much money??!!! there getting paid...to go out n hav fun...to sit at a pool n say..."omg no way?!"....and.."awesome!" they dont hav talent..well..everyone is talented but they dont hav anything specific their good at..there good at looking nice and...thats about it? an amazing talent is when its rare, and not many people can do it, what there doing it easy...EVERYONE can do it. at least lauren and whitney are good at their jobs! i mean..spencer on im a celebrity...i didnt think people like him existed?! how does he have the right to say hes better than other people? its so disgusting i hope he looses everything one day. well..thats my view :)

How are these people even important to make a show about them? I'm trying to link them to some rich mogul parent or celebrity parents. Did they just randomly pick some kids from a school and make a show about them? Just curious.
