Dancing With The Stars pay packets revealed: Which celebrities are raking in serious cash this season – and who is getting paid the most
2025’s edition of Dancing With The Stars Australia is creating quite a buzz, and it’s not just due to the popular cha-cha step.
A stunning report has been released mere weeks before the debut, disclosing the shockingly high earnings of this year’s famous actors in the cast.
Three prominent figures from the television world reside at the pinnacle of earnings: Rebecca Gibney, known for her acting prowess, Osher Günsberg who has hosted shows like The Bachelor and The Masked Singer for a long time, and Shaun Micallef, a comedy legend.
It’s said that each of them is earning approximately $100,000 for their appearances on the popular Channel Seven show, as reported by Woman’s Day.
According to a reliable source within the industry, those names carry with them a sense of history, trustworthiness, and already established audiences, as shared with Daily Mail Australia.

‘Producers know they’re worth the investment.’
Simultaneously, it is reported that renowned Olympic swimmer Susie O’Neill, AFL champion Trent Cotchin, and television news anchor Michael Usher are all situated in the intermediate bracket, each receiving approximately $47,000.
As a die-hard admirer, I must say these names carry immense respect and have a devoted fanbase, yet they aren’t typically anticipated to ignite the dancefloor or social media with their moves in an extraordinary way, according to the inside scoop.
But it’s the bottom of the pay scale where things get interesting.
A significant number of rising celebrities such as radio personality Brittany Hockley, social media influencer Mia Fevola, boxer Harry Garside (who represented Australia in the Olympics), comedian Felicity Ward, actor Kyle Shilling from Home and Away, and news presenter Karina Carvalho are said to receive a salary of $27,000 each.
‘Some of them were surprised by how little they were offered,’ claimed another insider.
For fresh faces or those aiming to boost their visibility, the value lies not just in the salary but also in the opportunities for increased exposure.
According to experts within the field, the significant difference in salaries is largely due to a combination of established reputation, commitment to existing networks, and popular appeal.



According to the source, well-known veterans such as Rebecca and Osher demand top prices due to their popularity with viewers.
‘But with a limited budget, not everyone can be on six figures.’
As rehearsals have begun, the performers are getting ready for what seems to be an exceptionally popular and intense season ahead.
If the leaked salary information is an indicator – the excitement or turmoil is already at its peak, even before the first dance begins.
