American Ninja Warrior
How much: 0$, unless you win it all
American Ninja Warrior winners can cash in on reality TV fame. But that’s only for the ones that win the competition. Warrior contestants don’t get paid for their actual show appearances. The athletes don’t get a dime, unlike other reality shows that give out weekly payouts.
Contestants only receive money by completing and winning all four stages of every obstacle in the finals, which is something that’s only happened once in 8 seasons!
