News reaching us from TMZ is that The Kardashian family have signed a $40,000,000 deal with E! Network to keep their reality TV show, Keeping Up With the Kardashian going for another 3 seasons. WOW! This is loads of money. And, this happens to be the richest deal in Reality TV History. The reason this news is on a rap blog is the fact that Kanye West is now dating Kim, and might be the reason why the stakes are that high. I am not saying Kanye knows people and pulled strings, but Kanye dating Kim Kardashian ups her standards, and increases the number of people that would be interested in her personal life.
I have read a lot of comments from people who are wondering why this show still exist, and why E! would risk so much on a project that might not be profitable. But, statistics don't lie. And it shows that 3 million people view the show every week. One thing i have learnt in life is that the more you hate something or someone, the more attention you give that thing or that person. And if the person is money conscious enough...if the person understands business enough, like the case of Kim Kardashian and her family members, they would milk the hate.
Below is the news consigning the deal from TMZ
The Kardashian family has just signed on for 3 more seasons with E!, and it's the richest deal ever in reality TV ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the deal tell us, the family will get more than $40 million for 3 more seasons of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
The 6th season of the show averaged 3 million viewers. The 7th season begins airing May 20.
Our sources say the $40-plus million deal does not include product endorsements and other items associated with the show that Kim, Kris and the rest of the brood are able to hock.
Sources connected to the deal tell TMZ ... Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris and Bruce will get the lion's share of the money ... and they are each getting equal pay.
We're told Kendall, Kylie and Rob are on a lower pay grade -- and will be paid equally as well.
Scott Disick and his son Mason have a separate deal. Ditto for Lamar ... who hammered out a package deal to appear in both "Khloe and Lamar" and "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
We're told the new deal ONLY includes existing shows -- so if Kim and Kanye get a new spinoff show ... they will have to bang out a new contract for even MORE money.
