Jordan Fisher Wins 'DWTS,' How Much Money Did He Make?

After 10 weeks of competition where he was consistently at the top of the leaderboard, Jordan Fisher officially claimed the title of "Dancing With the Stars" Season 25 champion during the ABC show's fall finale on Tuesday night.

After receiving a perfect score on all four of his final routines, also making him the record holder amongst all "Dancing With the Stars" contestants in the show's history when it comes to perfect marks from the judges, hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews announced that he successfully managed to get the fan votes as well, and he and partner Lindsay Arnold were crowned as champions. In the end, they beat both violinist Lindsey Stirling and her partner, Mark Ballas, as well as actor Frankie Muniz and his partner, Witney Carson. It was the first Mirrorball trophy that Arnold managed to win during her time as a pro on the competition.

While the big prize that Fisher and Arnold won was their special 25th anniversary Mirrorball trophies, there may have been other prizes the pair walked away with that fans don't see on the show's broadcast.

Celebrities who appear on the ABC reality competition series each season do receive money as payment for their appearances, however, while Fisher walked away with the title last night, in terms of money, he made the same amount of cash as his co-finalists. It has previously been reported that the finalists all make roughly $345K for making it to the end of the season, due the show's sliding pay scale, which does not tip in the winner's favor.

That scale, which was fikrst uncovered by Gawker back in 2010, reveals that all of the contestants who appear on the show start off with a $125,000 signing bonus. Following that, they receive more money depending on how long they stay in the competition, with additional bonus earnings applied when they hit certain benchmarks. Those who make it to week three or four of the show earn an additional $10,000, and the earnings go up from there in later installments, with an additional $10K for every week following that they remain. Teams who make it to the final two episodes of the season are all given $50K.

That means that while Fisher won the title, he still walked away with the same amount of money as Stirling, Muniz, and even Drew Scott, who made it to the first night of the finals with partner Emma Slater, but was eliminated after the first two rounds of competition.

As for the pros, it's unclear what they are paid each season or if they receive any extra financial incentives when they make it further along in the season. However, their contracts are reportedly renegotiated each season before they sign on, and there are potential increases in pay due to their longevity and other factors.
