‘Selling Sunset’: Christine Quinn Explains the 3 Tiers of Cast Member Salaries and Why She Earns the Most
Selling Sunset star Christine Quinn had a rough time during season 5. The 33-year-old’s future with the Oppenheim Group was unpredictable as she struggled to maintain professional relationships and strike a work-life balance. During this season, the other realtors constantly ignored Quinn although she did make some childish moves of her own.
Christine Quinn explains the three tiers of cast member salaries and why she earns the most
Quinn has confirmed her return to season six of Selling Sunset. She has also opened up about the salaries of the reality stars in the show. On the Call Her Daddy podcast, she reveals the nitty-gritty of cast member salaries.
However, Quinn was keen not to mention the exact numbers. During the podcast, she states that there are three tiers of cast member salaries. She as well as Jason earn the most in the show. Quinn continues to state that she could get sued for revealing these details. But she does not care since they cannot afford her lawyers.
To her, getting paid the most is not because of the screen time or any production contract. Quinn hired a lawyer to negotiate the most appropriate deal. Her entertainment attorney was smart enough to recognize her value.
Additionally, Quinn stated that each cast member has a lawyer, but only one lawyer represents them. She further said she approached the whole cast so that they could be paid equally, but some people signed their contracts immediately. Thus they were tiered into different groups. Although the cast members try to negotiate their salaries, they are always stuck in a certain bracket.
Christine Quinn was accused of bribing a client on ‘Selling Sunset’
In season 5 of Selling Sunset, Emma Hernan accused Quinn of bribing her clients to sabotage Hernan’s work. During a sit-down with Oppenheim Group owner Jason Oppenheim and manager Mary Fitzgerald, Hernan explained the turn of events. According to Hernan, Quinn offered her client $5,000 through a third party not to work with her.
In an interview with People, Quinn denied the allegations. She further claimed that no one could afford her lawyers. The realtor stated that she does not need to bribe any client to work with her; they agree on their own. Quinn also added that she did not refuse to attend the meeting with Jason and Mary. Rather, she was unaware of the meeting altogether.
Quinn even states she wants to open her brokerage and does not need to beg anyone for a job. On April 23, together with her husband, they announced launching Real-Open, a brokerage company where people can purchase real estate using cryptocurrency.
Quinn missed the ‘Selling Sunset’ reunion
Season 5 of Selling Sunset ended abruptly after Quinn skipped the meeting with Jason and Mary. It was unclear to the viewers whether she was fired. The show’s producer and Netflix planned a reunion to wrap up the season. The reunion was filmed on April 24, but Quinn was not present.
Quinn claimed that she was looking forward to attending the reunion but tested positive for COVID-19. Selling Sunset co-star Christine Stause tweeted that Quinn’s allegations were a lie.
During the reunion, Jason confirmed that Quinn was no longer working for the firm. Concerning the alleged bribery drama, Jason said he would love to hear Quinn’s side of the story.
