Caitlyn Jenner Earns Record-Breaking Payday For Reality Show

We already knew that Caitlyn Jenner was on her way to becoming the wealthiest reality TV star of all time, but we had no idea just how much she stands to earn from her first series.

I Am Cait doesn't premiere until next month, but the first reports about Ms. Jenner's earnings are in, and it looks like she might soon be out-earning the rest of her famous family.

Radar Online is reporting that Caitlyn will make $5 million for just one season of her upcoming E! "docu-series."

“It’s the biggest paycheck ever given by E! for a solo reality show, and Caitlyn’s agent was relentless in getting her the huge payday,” said one insider.

I long for the day they die.




(And No, this has nothing to do with Caitlyn Jenner. It has to do with these shows being absolute trash. So keep your flames to yourself.)

Unfortunately, I just don't know if reality show culture is the medium to do it with.

I hope Jenner donates this windfall to help poor LGBTQ and other poor folks. Don't see that happening though.

I feel like he is turning something positive into something that seems to be all about enriching himself financially.

But who knows?

kartrashians/teen moms/duggars/kate + 8s/honey-boo-boo/cluck dynasty crap that's out there now.

The only objection I have to Caitlyn Jenner came when I learned she's a republi-CON. I hope when she's had awhile to live into her new identity that maybe her eyes will be opened a little more. Seems to me any woman who votes republi-CON has a screw loose somewhere. They are nothing but a party of misogynists.

that DU loves solely because she is transgender.

I don't get it.

The way that renders her an automatic outsider to a lot of republi-CONmanship. (And republi-CONwomanship, too, for that matter.)

However if Caitlyn Jenner can get any kind of exposure for the LGBT community, I am all for it! I hope the second session she earns 50 million!
