Don't expect big bucks if you're applying for the next season of MarriedAtFirstSight
Ever wondered how much the stars of Married At First Sight Australia get paid? Brace yourselves...Given that MAFS Australia is one of the biggest shows on the telly box, this doesn’t seem like a lot of money and Domenica once hit out at the salary and claimed it was barely equivalent to “minimum wage”.
The cast’s earnings seem especially low when you factor in that they had to pay for their daily expenses like food, clothes, bills and haircuts while they were on the show. Season five groom Nasser Sultan previously told, “None of our groceries were covered. They filmed us going shopping… but it was out of our own money.”
He also claimed that he and his ‘wife’ Gabrielle Bartlett would sometimes have to pay upwards of $70 on their expenses. However, some contestants have stated that they were reimbursed for “reasonable out-of-pocket” expenses. While some brides and grooms were able to keep their day jobs in the earlier seasons of the show, the demands of the show increased over time meaning the cast either had to take annual leave, unpaid time off or even quit their jobs altogether. Not ideal considering they still have to contribute to their rent, mortgage and other bills from their normal lives while they’re filming.
"Mick wanted to go for a really long time," she said, referring to her on-screen husband Mick Gould. "He wanted to go back to his farm, back to his animals and he wanted to just go back to work."MetroThe cast can’t even go back to their jobs until at least six months after filming ends as Jess explained, “You can’t work until the show finishes airing, and you’ve done all your publicity and that’s like a month.
