Caitlyn Jenner 'I Am Cait' Salary Revealed - 'KUWTK' Star Earns 7-Figures For New E! Series
Caitlyn Jenner is taking her transition all the way to the bank. The former star of Keeping Up With the Kardashians has just secured a deal for her own reality series and it seems that she has gotten a pretty hefty paycheck in the negotiations. The former E! star has just agreed to be a part of another docu-series on the network called I am Cait and she has fetched a pretty penny for the project that will be focusing on her life post-transgender surgery.
According to Radar Online, while the star's surgeries and operations to change from Bruce to Caitlyn cost her $4 million, she will be completely recouping the payout and even gaining a profit off of it. The site is reporting that she will take in $5 million for the new TV project.
"It's the biggest paycheck ever given by E! for a solo reality show, and Caitlyn's agent was relentless in getting her the huge payday," an insider explained. "At one point, talks between the network and E! had broken down, because nobody wanted to pay her more than $2 million. Caitlyn's agent then began informal talks with other networks, and E! quickly came back to the table, ready to pay $5 million."
However, the big paycheck comes with some stipulation, as Perez Hilton is reporting that it will most likely get brought up during the star's upcoming lawsuit. Back in February while Caitlyn was still going by Bruce, she was involved in a fatal car accident and currently has two different lawsuits against her stemming from the incident.
I Am Cait is scheduled to premiere this July.
