DYK who earned the most across The Summer I Turned Pretty cast? It was a million dollar payday!
The gaps will definitely surprise you — and might even just please you
No set being run by Jenny Han will template its pay scale to redundant gender gapping — definitely not in a story about a girl turning into a woman and finding her heart.
And The Summer I Turned Pretty, just like every other account, doesn't disappoint here.
As per a reel doing the rounds of the internet, these are the top 5 earning cast members — with exact intel on how much they've reportedly earned per episode.
Rain Spencer
Played: Taylor Jewel
Rain was the perfect sidekick to Belly, sometimes even overtaking her in terms of character arc appeal. She apparently earned $5,000 per episode in season 1, which doubled to $10,000 per episode in season 2. Her pay day concluded with $15,000 per episode in season 3. This draws up to an alleged payday of $280,000.
Sean Kaufman
Played: Steven Conklin
Belly's trust elder brother was played to perfection by Sean, who managed to make an impact despite not having a very concrete storyline. He allegedly earned $7,500 per episode in season 1, which doubled to $15,000 per episode in season 2. Season 3 saw his worth being reportedly up to $20,000 per episode. Total payday — $392,500.
Christopher Briney
Played: Conrad Fisher
It might be surprising to see everyone's favourite, Chris at number three on this list. But the alleged spike in his earnings, clearly point to the favour he gained with the audience. Chris reportedly earned $10,000 per episode in season 1. This rightly doubled to $20,000 per episode in season 2. Connie baby ended the series strong, reportedly earning $50,000 per episode in season 3 bringing his total reported TSITP payday to $780,000.
Gavin Casalegno
Played: Jeremiah Fisher
Connie may have won the girl but Jeremiah seems to have trumped his big bro on the pay. Gavin's first bleh, then infuriating and eventually sympathy-evoking stint as Jere first earned him $15,000 per episode in season 1 which doubled to $30,000 per episode in season 2. He, like Chris, also found himself landing in the $50,000 per episode pay bracket bringing his alleged total TSITP earnings to $895,000.
Lola Tung
Played: Isabel 'Belly' Conklin
Now for the star of the show. It makes us very happy that Lola Tung tops this alleged payday list, being the highest earner of the main cast — the only acceptable way its supposed to be, given that the entirety of the franchise is Belly's story. Lola started her stint as Isabel, strong with $15,000 per episode in season 1. This more than doubled in season 2 with her bringing in $40,000 per episode. She remained the highest earner in season 3 as well, minting $60,000 per episode. That's a payday of $1.085 million.
Do you think these alleged salaries were a fair split?
