Guess How Much Kate Gosselin Made Per Week of Dancing with the Stars
Remember when reports surfaced last year that the "stars" on Dancing with the Stars were making $200,000 to "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" in front of ABC cameras for a season? And you questioned every career decision you had ever made that did not lead to shamelessly begging home viewers for votes while Cheryl Burke mimed the number four behind you? Well, get ready to re-question everything because there is an even more grotesque figure being circulated today-- the number of U.S. dollars Kate Gosselin was paid to terrorize you every week.
Do you have your stress ball handy? Because the number is $100,000 -- per week. A Dancing "insider" reportedly told PopEater that "Kate earned over $100,000 per week... She's a single mom who has to pay the bills and feed those eight little mouths all by herself. Say what you want about her, but Kate will do anything to make sure her children have a bright future. Even making a fool out of herself on national TV."
Considering that Gosselin made it through five weeks, she has already banked half a million dollars -- plus whatever she gets for returning for the show's finale. She earned another Dancing-related check for her gig as Entertainment Tonight's special correspondent. Another source close to the show said that Gosselin probably made more than any of the other contestants considering she was this season's "main draw."

Hi Maria. We need to get on this show
Ummmm yeah well first of all I am tired of some people going oh poor Kate. Both her and her ex were the problem but come on she treated him like crap on the show and at times was like a raging you know what.Im tired of her crying poor come on TLC paid for that big house they paid off the medical bills form the birth of the kids, she gets money from dvd sales and other things so come on Kate put a sock in it.
Oh c'mon...you all know that Kate is hot, she's just a bitch. Maybe she was born into money and beauty, but she has to realize that she needs to get on with her life and close out the rest of the world if she wants to have a life.
