That's it? On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, the way Nene was going on about being "rich" and "paid with a Donald Trump check" (or something along that line), I was thinking millions! :lol: I know, I read about it. Also read about The Apprentice going after her for saying that and she had to retract. I think that's where I got the 25K from.
I Googled it now and got this: Just how rich is NeNe Leakes? (http://starcasm.net/archives/129128)
The celebrity contestants compete for money to be donated to charity, but they are paid for the three weeks it takes to film the show. In 2009 former contestant Piers Morgan told US Weekly that he got paid about $16,000 to tape the show. UPDATE: To further investigate the “Trump check” NeNe bragged about depositing, Donald Trump Jr. (who also appears on Celebrity Apprentice with his dad) told Wetpaint.com:
“Honestly, I have no idea. All the celebrities on the show play for charity. She received a small appearance fee, sure, but that was it.”
And as far as I know she’s not involved with any of our other business or corporations. So I’m not sure what she’s talking about.” It might be $25K now since it's 3 years later and I think it took more than 3 weeks to film the current season. I know they started in October and ended in December. Unless they count actual working hours only.
