How much does MTV pay the stars of its smash unscripted series The Hills? Lauren Conrad earns $75,000 per episode-and that’s a fact that has left some of her series co-stars seething, a new In Touch Weekly scoop claims.

“The only reason LC gets paid more than anyone else is because she demanded in her original contract that no one could ever get paid more than her.”

“The salaries are based on who people care about watching more,” says a mole. “If you bring drama, you’ll get more money.”

Fashion forward LC is expected to earn $1.4 million for the complete fourth season of The Hills. Let’s see how much her castmates earn.

Heidi Montag: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)
Spencer Pratt: $65,000 per episode ($1.25 million per year)

Audrina: $35,000 per episode ($665,000 annually)
Whitney: $20,000 per episode ($380,000 per season)
Brody: $10,000 per episode ($190,000 a year)
Lauren “Lo”: $10,000 per episode ($190,00 for The Hills Season 4)
Stephanie: $8,000 per episode ($152,00 for Season 4)
Frankie: $0

    That is just the “base-salary”. The real money comes with merchandising etc.. So basically, the main character earns approx. 5 million per year. That should really disgust you.
