Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough’s Exact ‘Dancing With the Stars’ Salaries Revealed by Show Source

Ever wonder how much Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough make for hosting Dancing With the Stars every season? Well, some interesting information just dropped, and by that I mean we now know their exact (alleged!) salaries, including a pretty big pay discrepancy.An insider tells The Sun that Alfonso makes $1.75 million per season for hosting the show. Meanwhile, Julianne makes $1.25 million. If you’re wondering why Alfonso is earning $500,000 more than Julianne, apparently it’s because he’s been hosting for longer, is the “head host,” and has presumably had more time for salary negotiations and raises.“Alfonso has also been hosting since 2022 and brings his own history with the show, having won Season 19,” the source says. “His experience in Hollywood, his admiration from viewers and his established relationship with the franchise support the substantial hosting fee.”The source adds that Julianne “brings a different kind of value to the show than Alfonso. Her value comes from her being a two-time DWTS champion and a former judge. She also has a lot of Hollywood credits under her belt. But Alfonso is considered the ‘main host’ so he gets more than Julianne.”Meanwhile, Alfonso and Julianne’s predecessor Tom Bergeron was reportedly earning $150,000 per episode according to Celebrity Net Worth, which is about $1.8 million per season.Alfonso and Julianne haven’t confirmed their salary details (obviously) and Dancing With the Stars keeps these things under wraps, so take all this with a grain of salt but...they’re clearly earning a lot!
