How much does cast of ‘Little People, Big World’ get paid per episode?
PORTLAND, OREGON: ‘Little People Big World’ has garnered the title of one of the longest-running family-focused reality television shows by TLC. The show has even broken a Guinness World Record for this feat, with 23 seasons up its sleeve.

The show followed Matt Roloff and Amy Roloff’s lives as their children, Zach Roloff, Jeremy Roloff, Molly Roloff, and Jacob Roloff, all grew up into adults who now have their own families. Here are all the details about how much the Roloffs make for starring on the TLC show.

As for the rest of the cast, we’re still not privy to the exact details of the family’s salary, but InTouch Weekly revealed information on the estimate of reality TV stars’ paychecks. According to the news site, beginners or “nobodies” get $1,500 an episode, to $3,000 per episode, and it increases to $7,000 to $10,000 an episode after three years. The highest level is the “Kardashian level”, which is a whopping $500K per episode.
Now the Roloffs may not be as popular as the Kardashians, but the show has been running for a really long time, and the Roloffs are hardly nobodies at this point. So the family members may earn $10,000 or more each episode per person.
