The salaries of The Block stars have been revealed, and there is a striking gap between the highest and lowest earners among the cast.

Series host Scott Cam, 62, stands as the highest-paid cast member on the show, earning a remarkable $2.4 million annually, as reported by realestate.com.au.

Co-host Shelley Craft, 49, follows as the second-highest-paid individual, yet still significantly behind Cam, with earnings ranging from $500,000 to $750,000 per series.

The series Foreman’s are also well-rewarded, with former star Keith Schleiger, who stepped back from the show last year, receiving between $250,000 and $300,000.

His successor, Dan Reilly, takes home between $150,000 to $200,000 per annum.

However, the judging panel are on even less, with series veterans Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer reportedly earning $60,000 to $100,000 per season.

Meanwhile, new addition Marty Fox reportedly earns about $3,000 per episode, and with 52 episodes filmed for last year’s series on Phillip Island, he would have made approximately $150,000 for his tenure on the show.

The lowest-paid participants are the contestants themselves, who receive $100 per day over their 12-week period on the show, amounting to roughly $16,800 per team of two for their involvement in the series.

However, the money contestants are paid is not a ‘salary’, as they are not Channel Nine employees, but rather a stipend to ensure their basic living expenses are covered while appearing on the program.

It follows reports that series host Scott Cam is one of the highest-paid presenters in Australia, with his $2.4million salary placing him ahead of almost all his competitors.

Last month, a source told Woman’s Day that Nine was keen to keep Cam and his co-star, Shelley Craft, on the home renovation series for as long as they could.

‘As long as audiences keep watching, Scotty and Shelley are the heart of the show,’ they said.

‘It’s ultimately up to the network, but if Scott wants to stay, they will find a way to keep him.’ 

The insider added that Cam’s good-natured attitude made him a delight to work with.

The series Foreman’s are also well compensated, with former star Keith Schleiger, who stepped back from the show last year, earning $250,000 to $300,000 while his successor Dan Reilly (pictured) takes home between $150,000 to $200,000 per annum

‘He still feels lucky to be doing it year after year and to be part of a show audiences still love. There’s a real sense of gratitude,’ they said.

Cam has co-hosted The Block since 2010.

Season 21 of the long-running reality TV series recently premiered, and the Daylesford-filmed season looks to be one of the most gripping yet. 

The presenter’s jaw-dropping salary makes him the second-highest-paid presenter in Australia, trailing Today show co-host Karl Stefanovic. 

In May, The Australian’s inaugural TV Rich List report claimed that Nine star Stefanovic, 51, was being paid an eye-watering $2million more than his Today show co-host Sarah Abo.

The report collated the 35 highest salaries among TV stars on Australia’s three commercial networks – Channel Seven, Nine and Network 10.
