How much are the Kardashians being paid by Hulu? Ex-employee slams family for underpaying
'The Kardashians', the upcoming reality show on Hulu, will be starring the Kardashian-Jenner clan. The series will focus and throw light on sisters Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian, along with their half-siblings, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and mom, Kris Jenner.
After a solid two decades on reality tv, the Kardashians know their real worth. For the Hulu reality show, the Kardashian household (with the negotiator, Kris Jenner) will be paid a massive nine-figure salary, which they will divide among themselves. The series, premiering on April 14, will also feature the partners of the popular Kardashian sisters, some of whom include Kanye West and Travis Barker.

How much are the Kardashians earning from the Hulu show?
We know that the said celebrities have their share of experience in reality TV shows. Insiders confirmed on a Variety cover story that the Kardashians will be earning nine figures. About her family, Khloe Kardashian says, "We are all equals".
As of now, Hulu has ordered two seasons of 'The Kardashians', with a total of 40 episodes. Kim thinks that she would consider taking a break from her reality tv life, after the upcoming venture.

The wildest thing about that job: I saw firsthand how the most famous women in the world Frankensteined an impossible standard of beauty, pushed the rest of us to “keep up” with them, weaponized that standard of beauty to sell products, and *still* never felt good enough.
