What Recession? ‘Hills’ Stars Reportedly Earning Super Salaries

It pays to be a member of “The Hills.”

According to a new report, several of the stars of MTV’s favorite docu-soap are earning $100,000 an episode.

The Daily Beast reported on Monday that Audrina Patridge, Lauren “Lo” Bosworth and Heidi Montag are all earning $100,000 an episode, just $25,000 less than ex-“Hills” star Lauren Conrad earned before she departed the show this summer.

Former “Laguna Beach” star Kristin Cavallari joined “The Hills” with a reported $90,000 per episode salary, giving her a bigger paycheck then series regular, Hollywood bad boy King Spencer Pratt.

Spencer, the report claimed, is earning just $65,000 an episode. But his salary is still more than his pal Brody Jenner, who the report claimed earns just $45,000.

But the reality stars and starlets can make money outside of their MTV neighborhood too, thanks to personal appearance fees.

Celebrity booking agent Mike Esterman told the Web site, some of the show’s ladies can earn $20,000-$25,000 for personal appearances. Additionally, Heidi reportedly took home $375K for her Playboy cover shoot over the summer.

A rep for “The Hills” was not immediately available for comment.
