Khloé Kardashian has long been one of the more open members of her high-profile brood, but the reality star recently dropped a bombshell by clearing up one of the most mythologized pieces of gossip about The Kardashians on who gets paid the most. When asked whether the Kardashian-Jenner clan were all paid the same thing on their hit Hulu series during a lightning-round Q&A on the April 16 episode of Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper, Khloé didn't miss a beat. Her "True" answer was short, sweet, and powerful.
Khloé confirmed what fans and industry insiders have long discussed with that one word. Kris Jenner, Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Khloé herself all bring home the same paycheck from their wildly successful reality series despite differing quantities of screen time, personal drama, and brand deals off the show.
This new revelation dispels the rumor that one sister may be more lucrative than the rest because of individual notoriety or social media clout and proves just how calculated and unified the Kardashian-Jenner brand is. Beneath the glitz, glam, and the occasional family feud, the family is a close-knit business empire, and fairness appears to be at the heart of how they operate behind the scenes.

Khloé revealed that all the family members are executive producers on The Kardashians, a fact that has never been clarified. This furthers transparency in the equity status of their professional roles. In an industry where salary negotiations are often contentious, especially with ensemble casts, the Kardashian-Jenner model of equal salaries is as surprising as it is savvy. Cooper pressed more, inquiring whether the family could cut any footage they didn't like from the show. Again, Khloé was frank, saying, "Yes," but added that those divestments are typically restricted to vanity things.
That suggests little edits, bad angles, or lighting problems could be cut. But when it comes to the authentic, unfiltered, and often messy moments that drive the show's drama, Khloé isn't afraid. Indeed, one of the most significant scenes in which she stars is one in which she regrets being unable to cut, but she didn't, she says. That openness arguably has made her one of the family's most relatable and beloved members.
While it's no secret that The Kardashians runs on unfiltered family dynamics, this behind-the-scenes tidbit indicates that what you see is much closer to the truth than many would think. Even Kris Jenner, the manager behind the empire, sometimes asks for something to be removed, but those instances seem few and far between.
The family members' public sharing of both the profits and the spotlight is a testament to the lasting power of the Kardashian-Jenner brand. In a cutthroat industry that frequently forces women to compete for fame and money, their decision to share the spotlight behind the camera may be their most novel move yet.
