The Gosselin children are not paid directly for being filmed for "Kate Plus 8.' Their mother, Kate Gosselin, is paid 250K per episode [according to TV Guide]. In multiple interviews Kate has claimed that there is savings for the children - but there is no additional information beyond her claims.
The actual financial accounting is private information, and is unlikely to be revealed unless there is additional divorce settlements that are made public.
Although it may look like fun, the children do participate in the production of the show.. waiting whil the crew sets-up scenes, filming transitions, and repeating "cute moments" that were not caught to the crews satisfaction the first time for us. While it is great fun for viewers, there is limited information on the toll this takes on the children's lives.
Only time will tell if this is a boon or a bust for the Gosselin tribe.
