Some sources have said they either get 5k to 65,000k per episode... from various statements from Jon and Kate Gosselin they were paid a token sum for the first couple of specials, and over time the compensation rose along with the popularity of their reality television show 'Jon and Kate Plus 8."

The exact figures are not public information, but allegedly the compensation topped out at $22,500 per episode for the last season of "Jon and Kate Plus 8."

There isn't any information on how the family is paid for "Kate Plus 8." Now that the couple is divorced the money might go entirely to Kate Gosselin, with some set aside for the children.

Some other opinions from various wikianswerers:

However by rough estimates they make $40,000.00 a week off of love offerings (cash given in the collection plate at churches) on a good week on their Speaking Tour.*

This doesnt include the cash from the after speech hallway meet and greet sale of autographed pictures at $10.00 to $20.00 a pop. Since its cash we will never know how much they truly make.

*J&K have sold out large 20,000 seat churches on their speaking tour, so if everyone puts $1.00 in the collection plate for them it can add up to $20,000.00 in one hour speaking. If they book 2 of those large megachurches in one week, it can top or exceed $40,000.00 in two days of speaking.

Do you like the gosselins?

No. It turned into a terrible mess and TLC made it worse. When the world is desperately trying to survive, with losing their homes, jobs, and TLC will not quit showing a million dollar home for the Gosselins and Kate could lie about everything and no one would make her tell the truth. I lost all respect for the network and the Gosselins. There were thousands of watchers writing and asking to have the show stopped, no one would listen and we continued to have our favorite shows on TLC interrupted with announcements of Kate and Jon.


Will the Gosselins continue their reality show after the divorce?

Yes they are. There will be a new one on TLC very soon. But they most likely wont be together or both in the chair(at the same time)


Will there be a new show about the Gosselins?

No. TLC announced that their original plans to do a show with Kate and the kids, 'Kate Plus Eight' are on hold until the Jon and Kate have worked out their issues. Once things are worked out there is a possibility of being a show about Kate and the kids, either as a regular show or as special updates. TLC is working on a show with only Kate Gosselin. Read the news, people.

Will there ever be an episode of 'Kate Plus Eight'?

Yes, in April 2010 TLC announced the first of 12 episodes of 'Kate Plus Eight" will start airing on June 6, 2010. Since the untimely end of the Gosselin's original reality TV show "Jon and Kate Plus 8" there was a lot of speculation about whether or not the Gosselins would return to reality TV in any form. In Fall 2009: Although TLC made an announcement in late September 2009 of their intention to re-work 'Jon & Kate Plus 8' to reflect the families changing dynamic - by mid-November of that same year TLC representatives were saying the show is not in production. Until the Gosselins have sorted out their divorce arrangements, and TLC has come to some agreement with Jon Gosselin, it is unlikely that the Gosselins will be featured collectively on any form of reality television. However, you never know, the situation with the Gosselins is always changing. Just don't believe what you read in the tabloids!


Did TLC buy land for the Gosselins?

I don't think TLC bought the land but they money they give the Goesslin family for having their show definitely bought it. Their new house is rumored to cost 1.3mil and they get anywhere from $45K to $55K per episode. See Related Questions for additional information.


Are Jon and Kate speaking to Kevin and Jodi?

WikiAnswers contributors express their opinions: * No. Jodi was approached by the producers about getting paid for being consistently on the show, but when Kate found out about it, she banned Jodi from the show -- and from their lives. She wants all the money for herself. I think the show will be canceled and they will have to get real jobs soon. Too many people despise this dysfunctional couple.* No, they aren't. Many people are confused by the story of Jon and Kate, and their family. Jodi asked TLC if she could do her own show. TLC didn't need another show so they kindly responded, "No, thanks." Then Jodi wanted Kate to talk TLC into making a show for her and her family. Kate knew she could get her show canceled for asking that, so she told Jodi she wouldn't ask TLC. Jodi then banned her family from ever coming into contact with the Gosselins again.
