The Baeumler family spent millions of dollars fixing their resort in the Bahamas.
Island getaway resorts have been hit hard by the COVID-19 Pandemic.The Baeumlers spent a pretty penny fixing up their resort on Renovation Island, but how much did the family get paid to be on the show?
Before they appeared on TV, Bryan and Sarah Baeumler had impressive net worths.Bryan's personal wealth was estimated to be around $20 million before he even showed up on the show, and he invested a reported $10 million revitalizing the Bahamas resort after moving his family from Canada down south.
Those who appear on reality TV shows are usually paid by the production companies that own the TV show, and the network pays them for a certain number of episodes.The talent on the shows have their salaries handled by the production companies.
This isn't the case for Bryan Baeumler and his family, as his TV shows are handled by his own company.
The fact that he is able to command a price from himself, and that it is the third-highest rated series in its target demographic, is not bad.He should be able to get a decent amount of money for the series, but how much did he get?
When you consider how much "appearance fees" cost for similar shows, and the size of the crew that shoots the projects, this is where a lot of math comes into play.It has been said that Tarek El Moussa for Flip or Flop makes at least $10,000 in appearance fees.Since Bryan is heading all production costs for his show, the amount of money he is raking in is probably way higher.
We have a drinking game.We drink when Sarah wears white.We have run out of booze.
Those kinds of "stationary" jobs are preferred by production crew members and companies alike because there are way less travel and accommodation costs and are usually shot concurrently.Crew members can plan out their schedules for other shows when they block out several weeks of filming.
It costs anywhere from $45,000 to $50,000 to produce each episode of House Hunters.It is safe to assume that HGTV spent at least $50,000 per episode of Renovation Island, but it could very well be more.
It is not crazy to assume that the network paid at least $650,000 for the entire first 13 episodes of the show.
Depending on how streamlined Bryan's company was, he could command a higher price depending on the advertising dollars the network was able to secure.
If renovation island continues this trend, Bryanland Entertainment could easily charge more since additional seasons yield higher prices from the network.
I wish they would price everything the same as they do on other shows.What is their budget?How far over are they?I have questions.
The hotel is not unique.Every upscale hotel chain has the same features and design aesthetic.There is a view of white privilege in the show.The challenges that multimillionaires face...
Are you a fan of the show and will you be tuning in to see the continued situations the Baeumlers get themselves into while trying to make their resort a premiere destination for those vacationing in the Bahamas?
