Best Answer

As a private group, the "Mythbusters" are not obliged to tell anyone - - other than the IRS - - their salaries, so you won't find it on any website.

Most likely, the Discovery Channel provides them with a certain budget for filming and salary (similar documentary/reality-based TV show budgets are only about $150,000; the real cost is in the production, not the "actors"). The rest comes from advertisers and the public, private, and government sectors, who don't mind giving their goods and services at little or no cost in return for free (inter?)national advertising and goodwill.

Salary-based websites show regular actors with speaking roles (as opposed to walk-ons, extras, supernumeries, etc), having salaries starting at about $40,000; given their non-luxury looks and probable bohemian lifestyles, it's doubtful that any of the Mythbusters make substantially more than that.
