The Dancing With The Stars 2025 salaries have leaked, and, if the reports are to be believed, there’s a huge pay disparity between some celebrities.
While some of the celebrities reportedly receive a six-figure sum for their time on the reality series, others are paid almost a quarter of that. Admittedly, that is still a pretty nice pay packet for a few weeks of work.
According to That’s The Ticket, a ticketing platform that organised tickets for each of the shows, they were all filmed between February 15 and March 5. But while filming has actually finished, all of the episodes were filmed live, so the pressure was on for the celebs!
As Dancing With The Stars fans will know, the rehearsal schedule for the show is rigorous, and the celebrities are unsurprisingly paid a pretty penny for the time they block out to film. Woman’s Day reported that there were three pay tiers for this year’s cast, which ranged between $27,000 and $100,00 for their appearances.
How much is the Dancing With the Stars 2025 cast paid?
The publication reported that Gold Logie winner Rebecca Gibney, former The Bachelor host Osher Günsberg and comedian Shaun Micallef were the highest-paid cast members on Dancing With The Stars 2025, snagging a cool $100,000 each.
Sitting in the middle tier with a $47,000 paycheck is swimming legend Susie O’Neill, AFL star Trent Cotchin and newsreader Michael Usher.
The publication claimed that the lowest pay was $27,000, and said that podcast host Brittany Hockley, Home and Away actor Kyle Schilling, news presenter Karina Carvalho, actress Felicity Ward, boxer Harry Garside and influencer Mia Fevola all received that amount.
In recent years the winner of Dancing With The Stars have received an additional $20,000 prize to donate to the charity of their choice. Which is… less than the lowest paid celebrities salary.
Dancing With The Stars premieres on June 15 2025 on Channel 7 and 7plus.
