ROLL CALL: How Much Is Honey Boo Boo & Her Family Making?

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans!

“A Dolla Make Me Holla!”: Just how much does Honey Boo Boo and her family (reality TV child star Alana Thompson and her family from TLC’s “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo”) make on their hit series? According to The Hollywood Reporter, not all that much compared to other reality TV stars. A source tells THR that the family of six reportedly pulls in between $2,000 and $4,000 an episode, plus a small “location fee,” for their 10-epsiode first season. With over three million viewers for its August 29 episode, we’re thinking the Thompson family might be pulling in more money if the show is picked up for another season. Reps for TLC declined to comment about the family’s pay when contacted by THR.
