Reality producer Terence Michael told E! News that reality families such as theirs typically earn about 10 percent of their show's budget. If, like similar shows, the estimated budget is $250,000 to $400,000 per episode, the stars of The Little Couple could easily be making around $25,000 to $40,000 with each one. However, a report in Business Insider elaborates on how, after a few years of success, the per-episode rate increases from $1,500 to $3,000 per episode to around $7,000 to $10,000 per episode for similar shows, suggesting some participants may be making considerably less.
Even so, Bill Klein and Jen Arnold are likely raking in the big bucks as their show continues to grow in popularity and their businesses keep booming. Celebrity Net Worth calculates they're worth a combined $3.5 million. Jen recently explained to the Tampa Bay Times how she and her husband balance their busy lives. "Because we have full-time jobs we film basically one day a week on the weekends. Then one evening a week after work we go to a production house and we film the interviews. We know how many weeks it takes per episode to film and it's probably about eight to nine months a year," she advised. She also confirmed Bill handles the finance side of things, so now we know who's taking care of their considerable fortune.
