How much?

It was recently revealed how much the stars of the Teen Mom series are paid per episode and let’s just say it’s a lot!

Apparently the stars of Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 are making some serious cash and we can’t see them turning down a renewal contract anytime soon.

According to Radar Online, Teen OG moms, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Farrah Abraham, and Catelynn Lowell are bringing home a staggering 25K per episode!

Most young people don’t that earn that much in a year.

The mums are not the only ones bringing home some serious bacon though.

The Teen Mom dads, including Ryan Edwards, Tyler Baltierra, and Gary Shirley are also making 25K per episode.

According to Radar Online;

“It was all thanks to Amber. She made sure Gary made as much as she did when they were together.”

The cast also gets an additional $1,000 per reunion.

Some parents have complained that the show is encouraging young girls to become pregnant as teenagers and giving the impression that being a teen mom is a career choice.

Regardless of whether or not the cast give the wrong impression of what it’s really like to be a teen parent I don’t think we’ll be seeing an end to the series anytime soon. Not when they’re getting those paychecks.
