Dubai Bling is all about portraying the rich and luxurious life of ten Dubai-based ‘millionaires’, but, shocker: they just get paid around nine thousand dirhams, for each episode. This news was revealed by Arabian Business, and let’s just say, it was definitely *not* what we were expecting.

Keep in mind that the Kardashians were paid more than Dhs300 million for two seasons and 40 episodes in their famous family reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. And some families also earned around Dhs55 million.

Dubai Bling‘s season 2 has definitely made its entry with a lot of tea and drama this year, way before its release. From influencer Amy Roko getting rejected, to Mona Khattan being the new cast.

Though the show never failed to exhibit the lavish lifestyle, with fancy cars and private helicopters, designer wears, etc, the news about the cast getting paid less is ~interesting~, to say the least.

So, how much are the casts in Dubai Bling season 2 getting paid exactly?

Arabian Business revealed that the cast will get an increased pay of 5 percent, i.e, adding Dhs458 to the existing amount of Dhs9,175 fee.

“Some of these guys were so desperate to be famous so the fee wasn’t an issue, they would have probably done it for free,” says a show insider.

Fans might have different opinions and reactions to this news, but let’s hope to see yet another glamourous season of Dubai Bling by keeping up the same energy.
