The Hills Brings in the Bills for its Stars

In this economy, isn't it nice to know that not everyone is suffering?

Sure, the unemployment rate in Detroit is close to 30% and average home prices in that once-thriving city are under $20,000.

Speidi earned more money for this photograph than millions of people make in a year. We're not exaggerating.

A new report from The Daily Beast reveals the salaries for various cast members on The Hills. You might wanna be sitting down for these. The numbers are more shocking than anything Mackenzie Phillips has ever said...

  • Lauren Conrad: $125,000/episode
  • Audrina Patridge, Lauren Bosworth and Heidi Montag: $100,000/episode
  • Kristin Cavallari: $90,000/episode
  • Spencer Pratt: $65,000/episode
  • Brody Jenner: $45,000/episode

Keep in mind, these figures represent solely what each star brings in per half hour. Spencer and Heidi are known to pocket close to $50,000 for personal appearance and staged photo ops.

We bet they have good health insurance, too.
