The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Cast Make a Staggering Amount of Money

Season 2 of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” has officially dropped on Hulu, and the Utah-based cast is bringing more than just personal drama to the screen—they’re also bringing big financial questions. Fans can’t stop asking: How much are these women making to put their lives on camera? While Hulu hasn’t confirmed official salaries, industry comparisons, cast clues, and on-camera conflict point to surprising figures behind the scenes.

Breaking Down ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Salary Speculation

While Hulu doesn’t disclose cast salaries for “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” it’s likely these women are earning somewhere between $1,000 and $10,000 per episode, based on industry standards. That’s the reported range for reality stars on platforms like Netflix, according to US Weekly. More successful franchises like “Selling Sunset” eventually jumped to $40,000 per episode for core stars. Meanwhile, the Kardashian-Jenner family famously secured a $60 million annual deal for “The Kardashians,” with estimates of $250,000 per day of filming. The “Mormon Wives” crew isn’t quite there yet—but the potential is clearly growing.

Season 2 didn’t shy away from addressing the money question. During one key scene, Jessi Ngatikaura was asked directly if she felt betrayed by Demi Engemann, who allegedly tried to negotiate a higher salary even if it meant Jessi would be dropped from the show. Mayci Neeley confirmed the tension: “Demi basically was willing for Jessi to be off the show if she could kinda get paid more.”

That led to contract negotiations that reportedly involved “lawyers and managers,” with cast members initially agreeing to a united front—until Engemann “dogged us and went around us,” according to Ngatikaura. Taylor Frankie Paul summed it up: “If anyone has the right to be paid the most it’s me, and I’ve never even asked for that.”

All signs point to equal base pay among the cast, but the behind-the-scenes scramble suggests that paycheck parity may not last forever—especially as the show grows in popularity.

The MomTok Stars Make Bank in Brand Deals

Even if Hulu isn’t cutting six-figure checks (yet), the “Secret Lives” cast is raking it in elsewhere. Thanks to their combined reach on social media, these “MomTok” influencers are landing lucrative sponsorships and brand deals that rival their show salaries.

Mikayla Matthews opened season 2 with a bold claim: “My husband, his entire yearly salary is how much I make on one brand deal.” That sets the tone for just how financially powerful these women have become online.

Whitney Leavitt offered specifics in a past E! News interview, revealing she once earned $20,000 for a single sex toy promotion on Instagram. Neeley chimed in about a major payday she and her husband landed, stating: “We both have gotten one—we can’t say what it was—but we’ve gotten a deal that was $75,000 for one year.”

While brand income fluctuates, it’s clear that these women are capitalizing on their digital fame. “You could get a really big brand deal like, ‘Hey, we want to have a six-month contract with you,’ and then next year you don’t get it at all,” Leavitt said. “It varies drastically.”
