Here’s the short answer: we don’t actually know. Despite the massive buzz surrounding Kim Kardashian’s upcoming legal drama “All’s Fair,” which drops on Hulu November 4, 2025, neither the streaming giant nor Kim’s team has revealed her paycheck. And honestly? For someone worth $1.7 billion, the money might not even be the point.
But let’s dig into what we do know, and what industry insiders are speculating about one of the most anticipated TV premieres of the year.
When a show’s trailer racks up 134 million views globally (yes, you read that right), you’d think someone would spill the tea on what the star is earning. But Hulu’s keeping that information locked down tighter than Kim’s famous Hidden Hills compound.
Industry analysts have thrown around some educated guesses based on Kim’s track record. She currently pulls in about $7.5-8 million per season for “The Kardashians” after her mom Kris Jenner takes her 10% management cut. That’s a solid payday, representing a 67-85% bump from what she earned during the final years of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
Kim isn’t just starring in “All’s Fair.” She’s also serving as executive producer alongside Ryan Murphy and her powerhouse co-stars Glenn Close, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts. Executive producer credits typically add 15-30% on top of acting salaries, which could push her total compensation well into eight figures for the season.
To put things in perspective, let’s look at what A-listers command in the streaming world. Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon are earning a jaw-dropping $2 million per episode on Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show.” Elisabeth Moss pulls in $1 million per episode for “The Handmaid’s Tale” on Hulu. These aren’t just salaries. They’re statements about how streaming platforms value star power.
Mid-tier streaming compensation typically falls between $400,000-750,000 per episode. Given Kim’s massive platform (she’s got 394 million Instagram followers), her producer role, and the fact that Hulu ordered the show straight to series without even filming a pilot, she’s likely negotiated something in that premium range or higher.
Kim can earn $2.17 million from a single sponsored Instagram post. She’s made more from one social media upload than entire seasons of her early reality TV days paid. So why take on the grueling schedule of a scripted drama?
More Than Just a Paycheck
This is where the story gets genuinely compelling. Kim’s been studying law for seven years through California’s Law Office Study Program, putting in 18 hours every week after tucking her four kids into bed.
She passed the notoriously difficult “baby bar” exam on her fourth attempt (with a near-perfect score, no less) and sat for the full California bar exam in July 2025.
The results? They’re being announced November 7, just three days after “All’s Fair” premieres. Talk about timing.
“All’s Fair” features Kim as Allura Grant, a glamorous divorce attorney running an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. She drew inspiration from her own divorce attorney, legendary family law specialist Laura Wasser, who represented her through both the Kris Humphries and Kanye West divorces. The show’s premise of women disrupting male-dominated legal systems and achieving emotional justice aligns perfectly with Kim’s real-world criminal justice reform work.
Remember Alice Marie Johnson? Kim successfully petitioned President Trump to grant clemency to Johnson, who was serving life without parole for a non-violent drug offense. Since 2018, Kim’s advocacy work has helped free multiple incarcerated individuals and contributed to passage of the historic First Step Act.
This legal drama isn’t just entertainment for her. It’s honoring her late father Robert Kardashian Sr.’s legal legacy while positioning herself as a serious advocate for justice reform.
Ryan Murphy’s involvement brings serious credibility. His shows have generated hundreds of millions in revenue, and his move from Netflix to Disney made “All’s Fair” his first major project under the new deal.
The marketing campaign has been nothing short of explosive. The October 8 trailer became Hulu’s biggest trailer launch ever, hitting 57.3 million views in just 24 hours. Murphy noted these numbers “are usually granted to superhero movies,” and he’s not exaggerating.
So how much is Kim actually making? Industry watchers estimate somewhere between $7.5 million and potentially north of $10 million for the 10-episode season when you factor in her executive producer role, possible ownership points, and licensing rights. That’s substantial money even by streaming standards.
