Honey Boo Boo now gets $20,000 an episode

[Saph]

The larger-than-life family that features on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was apparently given a huge raise after the second episode aired.

Matriarch June Shannon and her brood had been due to get between $5,00 and $7,000 an episode, however that figure was boosted to between $15,000 and $20,000 once TLC realised how popular the show was, reports today claim.

And it seems the family did not even expect or demand the pay increase.

According to TMZ, 'network honchos approached the family and told them they were boosting their salary.'

It added that TLC also offered to cover a number of additional expenses for the family, including a driver and bodyguard figure for Ms Shannon's partner Sugar Bear who was hospitalized recently after a 'mud-boggin' crash.

The site also reports that the network wanted to help the clan relocate to a larger and more secure home, but Ms Shannon declined the offer as she likes to decorate the property over the holidays for the local community.

she should be getting more tbh. The show gets as many viewers as Jersey Shore did at it's most popular and they were pulling in much more than that.

Same at first, but I caught some of the show the other day. It was like watching 3 trainwrecks happening at once, and then realized I'd been sitting there for 20 minutes. :joker:

They were probably given a raise this soon just in case an agent got a hold of them and demanded 100 times as much. :hugesmile:

it's a good show, and Im glad she is getting money now because she's going to grow up soon and not be cute anymore and no one will care about her

what I was saying, they were ripped off. Could have gotten tons more with a proper agent
