HAVING EARNED HER TV ROYALTY TITLE, KAK KNOWS HER WORTH
Queen KAK's $500K PAYDAY!

She can’t cook, hates camping, loves a drink, has barely recovered from major surgery and is one of the richest women on Australian TV – so what did it take to get Kerri-Anne Kennerley to agree to head into the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here jungle?

Despite reports indicating a $180,000 salary, New Idea’s source reveals KAK is getting so much more!

“She stands to bank about $1 million from appearing on I’m A Celebrity. That’s almost 10 times more than they are paying anyone else,” explains the insider.

“I believe she has received a $500,000 sign-on cheque and will then earn another $50,000 for every week she stays in the jungle,” continues the source, who says this year’s production is huge, with over 120 crew and a $15 million budget.

“But regardless of that – that’s a massive amount of money for one person!”

Our source insists that if viewers “are wondering why there are so many D-listers on the show … KAK is your answer!”

“I’m told retired netball superstar Liz Ellis, Peter Helliar and Nathan Henry are being paid about $100,000 each – which means the rest of them are only pocketing pennies.”

Indeed, viewers have not held back with questioning who some of the campmates actually are – despite them being big names in their respective fields.
