Question: how much do the winners make on dancing with the stars?
Answer: Based on a Gawker report from 2010, stars have seen payments of $10,000 for making it beyond Week 2, $20,000 for making it to Week 4, 5, and 6, $30,000 for Week 7 and 8, and another $50,000 for the final two episodes. No wonder the stars always appear desperate to stay another week.
