"90 Day Fiance pays their cast members $1,000 to $1,500 per episode," a source told RadarOnline.
And as shown on TLC's currently-airing sixth season of 90 Day Fiance, Leida Margaretha was disgusted by Eric Rosenbrook's living arrangements, and Larissa Christina Dos Santos Lima was upset Colt Johnson couldn't afford to buy her an expensive couch or a luxury car.
Many 90 Day Fiance stars, in fact, have resorted to setting up GoFundMe pages online or charging $30-50 for personalized video messages for their biggest fans.
So how much money does 90 Day Fiance pay its stars for spinoffs such as 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days or 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After??
"Before the 90 Days makes $500 to $1,000 per episode," a source told RadarOnline.

As for the foreign partners or spouses on 90 Day Fiance and its spinoffs, the source told RadarOnline, "They can't even get paid because they have to wait for a work permit. It's of course different if filming takes place in their county."
A typical season of 90 Day Fiance and its spinoffs is between 11 and 14 episodes long, so that would mean an American cast member makes anywhere between $5,500 to $21,000 for an entire season.
Relatives and friends of 90 Day Fiance stars reportedly make much less for appearing on the reality series. According to another RadarOnline insider, one day of filming can result in a $250 paycheck.
