26. NeNe Leakes
Project: Real Housewives of Atlanta
Proposed Salary: Unknown
Outcome: Denied, Leakes quit the show
Nene Leakes was one of the most well-liked characters on the reality television show The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The reality star took to social media to express her dissatisfaction with Bravo’s Real Housewives network for failing to pay her what she believed she was owed. This wage disagreement was one of the factors that contributed to her decision to leave the show before season fourteen premiered.
Leakes admitted that she wasn’t surprised that her time on the RHOA had ended, although she did express disappointment. Even while the program had made her famous, she recognized that it also had a “flip side,” namely, that it was going to “come to an end” or compel her to “level out” at some point. When Bravo refused to pay her the salary she requested, she opted for the latter.

27. Dylan Minette
Project: 13 Reasons Why
Proposed Salary: $150,000-$200,000 per episode*
Outcome: Agreed
’13 Reasons Why’ was a thought-provoking Netflix film about a teenager (played by then-newcomer Katherine Langford) who commits suicide after being bullied. Upon her death, her crush, Clay (played by Dylan Minette), was presented with an envelope explaining the “13 Reasons Why” Langford’s character took the terrible decision to kill himself.
The drama lasted four seasons, and Minette, who took over as the main character after the first season, received a substantial pay boost due to his efforts. The actor was able to secure a pay in the rumored range of $150,000-$200,000 for the later seasons of the television series. His co-stars weren’t too far behind him, earning an estimated $135,000-$150,000 per episode, which was comparable to his salary. Netflix announced that the show would be discontinued in 2020 since it had reached a “natural ending.”
