How much were the Survivor 46 cast members paid?

Fans of the CBS hit reality survival series Survivor 46 are eager to know how much their favorite stars were paid for being on the show. Here’s everything we know.

The highly anticipated Season 46 of Survivor hit our screen on February 28 with 18 new contestants stranded on Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands.

In the survival competition, the contestants are stranded on an Island and given multiple challenges to survive for the prize money.

After a decade of successful seasons and some Emmy nominations, Survivor is among one of the most-watched reality survival shows. And that made viewers wonder – how much did the cast members earn from the show?

Do Survivor 46 cast members get paid?

Some reality shows pay their talent depending on their time on the show, this includes programs such as Single’s Inferno or Love Is Blind.

Other reality shows only offer prize money that contestants win at the end after going through multiple challenges, this includes shows like The Traitors or The Challenge.

Survivor, on the other hand, offers both. The winner of the show takes home prize money of $1 million while the runner-up gets $100,000. The third and fourth places get $85,000.

Additionally, all cast members receive a stipend for their time filming the survival show, which could be anywhere starting from $1,000 per week.

Survivor 46 aired on CBS on February 28 at 8 pm ET/PT and the episodes were made available to stream on streaming platforms including Amazon Prime and Hulu.
