Since its debut in 2014, TLC's 90 Day Fiancé has become one of the network's most popular shows, generating big ratings and spawning numerous spinoffs. But despite the popularity of the series, there is still a lot of information about the show that people wrongly assume.

Given what we read about the massive salaries of television stars, it would make sense that TLC's 90 Day Fiancé personalities are well paid for being on the show. This, however, is not the case.

A source told Radar Online that the participants on the show make $1,000-$1,500 per episode, a far cry from what the cast of say, Modern Family is making. According to the source, couples who go on to appear in the spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? do receive a slightly bigger payday, but not much. The couples' family members and friends who appear on the show, on the other hand, are paid significantly less. For them, one day of filming on the show results in a $250 paycheck.

While their reality TV fame may not be bringing them riches, some of the show's cast have taken other measures to bring in some cash. Star Danielle Jbali, for example, launched a GoFundMe fundraising effort that ultimately raised only $658.
