The stars of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” love to say MomTok is a “sisterhood,” but season 3 makes it pretty clear that sisterhood comes second to contracts, brand deals and who’s getting paid what. With cast walkouts, pay disputes and accusations of jumping ship for bigger opportunities (hello, “Dancing With the Stars”), the Utah drama has never been messier. And naturally, viewers want to know: how much are these women actually making — and who’s sitting on the biggest pile of influencer cash?
What the ‘Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Cast Earns From TV, Brand Deals and Beyond
Let’s start with the big question: how much does the cast earn per episode of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives”? The honest answer — nobody outside the cast and Hulu really knows. But based on what we do know from comparable shows, the ladies likely started season 1 earning anywhere between $5,000 per episode to $25,000 for the full season. Reality TV salaries vary wildly, and many newcomers earn flat fees rather than per-episode checks.
Negotiations reportedly occurred between seasons, and according to Whitney Leavitt, the cast was paid equally for seasons 1 and 2. That all went out the window in season 3, where money became a full-on storyline. Mikayla Matthews claimed Demi Engemann walked after asking for triple the pay of everyone else. Whitney also dipped out temporarily — not for more money, but because she wanted a scripted role added to her contract.
Brand deals remain the real cash cow. Whitney once earned $20,000 for a single post promoting a sex toy, while Mayci Neeley reportedly pulled in $75,000 for a year-long partnership. Whitney even acknowledged that influencer income fluctuates dramatically: “Each year is different… it varies drastically.”
As for outside projects:
- Taylor Frankie Paul’s net worth is $400,000 (allegedly), according to Celebrity Net Worth, and her stint as the 2026 Bachelorette is expected to send that number soaring.
- Whitney is raking in serious money from “Dancing With the Stars.” With the show’s semi-finals airing on November 18, 2025, she likely earned between $295,000 and $310,000, depending on which pay structure applies.
- Jen Affleck earned $200,000 during her own time on DWTS, tapping out at week 7.
- Mayci’s book deal for her memoir “Told You So” remains undisclosed, but the New York Times bestseller status suggests a healthy advance.
So, who’s the richest Mormon Wife? There’s no concrete data — but the smart money says it’s Jessi. During season 2 negotiations, Demi said Jessi didn’t “need” the show’s money because she had a “hair empire.”And her Salt Lake City mansion, hitting the market for $2.5 million, only backs that up.
At the end of the day, some of these women are cashing TV checks, others are cashing influencer checks — and some are cashing both. But one thing is clear: the MomTok “sisterhood” definitely isn’t splitting the bill evenly.

I was enjoying the chaos of the MomTok, but now in light of the whole “Fruity Pebbles” thing, I’m so grossed out that I no longer have any interest in watching season 3. Anyone else?
