The Kardashians’ Disney+ Series Earnings and Division
The Kardashians, a family synonymous with reality TV extravagance, have been dominating screens for years. Their original show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, debuted in 2007 and enjoyed an impressive 20-season run before wrapping up in 2021. But the family wasn’t ready to call it quits just yet. They revamped their image, their storylines, and most importantly, their platform, scoring a jaw-dropping nine-figure salary deal in the process. In 2022, their new series, aptly titled The Kardashians, premiered on Hulu. Khloe Kardashian remarked that “We’re all equals” when it comes to their earnings. Industry insiders spilled the beans to Variety, confirming that the family had secured a lucrative nine-figure contract for the show. It’s clear that the Kardashians are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to their financial empire. By the time they renewed their last contract with E! in 2020, their income was already close to reaching $100 million. The reported nine-figure deal for their Hulu show was just a fraction of their overall net worth, with each family member running successful businesses in various industries. The transition from cable TV to a streaming service like Hulu made perfect sense for the family. Khloe pointed out that they are always ahead of the curve and being on cable was no longer aligned with their brand. And when it comes to negotiating deals, Kris Jenner, the family’s matriarch, is the one calling the shots. Known for her fierce negotiation skills, Kris is the one who lands the big deals for her family, fighting tooth and nail to secure what they deserve. Despite the hefty price tag that came with bringing the Kardashians on board, Walt Disney Television’s chairman, Dana Walden, was thrilled with the acquisition. Walden recognized the star power and brand value the Kardashians bring to the network, describing them as “incredible talent” that perfectly aligns with their programming strategy. The Kardashians have now transitioned to a documentary-style format for their show, which has resonated well with audiences. As the series gears up for its sixth season, fans can look forward to more drama, glamour, and family moments on Hulu and Disney+. So, grab your popcorn and get ready to keep up with the Kardashians in their latest streaming adventure.
