Few people want their secrets to be discussed by the whole world. But Nikita Dzhigurda puts his intimate relationships with women on display - he assures that this is how he opposes the propaganda of same-sex love. Well, you can always justify your behavior. But former director of Dzhigurda Antonina Savrasova sees a different reason for the showman’s frankness.
“Nikita generates news about her life in order to make money from it! – says Savrasova. – Dzhigurda has not worked anywhere for a long time - she does not play in the theater, does not act in films. He gets money from TV shows. He comes to the program, breaks comedy and earns large sums.”
From his divorce from Marina Anisina and Lyudmila’s will, Bratash Dzhigurda squeezed out the maximum “dividends”. His rating soared, and on federal channels he was paid up to 600 thousand rubles for participating in talk shows. But time passed, and the hype began to subside.
“A couple of months ago Nikita called me with disheveled feelings,” continues Antonina Savrasova. – He complained: they say they don’t invite me to the TV channels, there’s no reason. He said that he had run out of money and couldn’t even give the driver money for gas. I felt abandoned and lonely. And suddenly - luck! Donna Luna appeared on the horizon - a sultry woman, a poet’s dream.”
A jewelry designer from Italy herself contacted Dzhigurda, offering to collaborate. He did not miss his chance, and now the couple’s personal pages were flooded with joint photos and videos.
The other day, Dzhigurda, together with Donna Luna, was invited to Dmitry Shepelev’s show “Actually.” The artist agreed to come to the program for 400 thousand rubles, but then suddenly announced a new amount - a million! The TV people were nearly paralyzed. How the auction ended is still unknown. Meanwhile, the editors of the same program are also showing interest in Nikita. And the channel has already asked the showman to talk about his new love, but so far the parties have not agreed on the amount of the fee.
How much do stars get paid to appear on TV shows?
There are no uniform prices: it all depends on the artist’s rating, the news story, the exclusivity and originality of the story. Let's say, while there is excitement around an event, its participants receive an increased fee. Who now remembers the biker Ishutin, who hit the singer Yuri Antonov at a gas station? Meanwhile, he hit his jackpot - he earned a total of 1.5 million rubles from the talk show (300 - 400 thousand rubles per appearance on a TV show). It is curious that the court ordered Ishutin to pay the singer 60 thousand rubles. In the end, the biker won. Just open a business - beat famous people and then make money on the show...
The singer Danko’s wife agreed to talk about difficult family relationships for 150 thousand rubles (the artist himself announced this). Anastasia Volochkova’s driver, now in jail on suspicion of theft, boasted to his friends that he had asked “Let Them Talk” for 800 thousand rubles. However, whether he received this money remains unknown. Not the most popular serial actor Sergei Plotnikov recently earned 150 thousand rubles from revelations about his abandoned son.
On the NTV channel’s “Secret to a Million” program, Vladimir Friske was paid 300 thousand rubles. Diana Shurygina and her family, according to media reports, earned the same amount for participating in several episodes of “Let Them Talk.” Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan cost the “Let Them Talk” program 600 thousand rubles. And model Naomi Campbell was paid 10 thousand dollars at the same show in 2010.
However, not all celebrities and experts get paid. Someone participates on the air for free in order to shine. Some people hope to solve their problems with the help of television. And often people are ready to speak in a talk show studio for free out of respect for the person, topic being discussed, or simply out of interest.

Editor's comment:
The purposes for which media owners use all these “stars”, encouraging them with large amounts of money to engage in various scandals and inappropriate behavior, are described in detail in the video reviews of the Teach Good project. Analytics for the most popular TV shows are collected in. It is also useful to know whose funds are organizing this entire banquet, and who ultimately pays the fees for degradation:
Channel One will receive additional assistance from the federal budget. The broadcaster will receive 3 billion rubles for the production, procurement and distribution of content. On October 27, State Duma deputies adopted a bill “On amendments to the Federal Law “On the Federal Budget for 2017 and the planning period of 2018 and 2019”, in which this amount is included “for reimbursement of costs associated with the production and acquisition of a software product, filling it with television and with provision of measures to bring it to television viewers.” .
TV Show – Lowland Industry
In any country you can find a thousand decent, outstanding, talented people, or you can find a thousand degraded individuals, murderers, maniacs, perverts. If you want the best for your country and your people, you will be a positive example for them to follow.
If you want to lower the population to the level of animals, turn the inhabitants of the country into a brainless crowd, into slaves, you will look for all the dirt, vulgarity and baseness and broadcast it all on the screen every day. At its core, the situation with television is similar to raising children. Whatever example a child sees in front of him, positive or negative, is how he will grow up.
The unprecedented frankness of the heroes of such programs is ensured by impressive fees.

Scandalous daytime talk shows are already popular, and now even more so - because of the noise on another channel. With the arrival of autumn, a new television season began and programs began to compete for viewers. The team of each talk show strives to find a hot topic and lure more interesting characters into the studio. In pursuit of ratings, channels are ready to spend money: it turns out that not only television workers receive money for filming, but also almost everyone you see on the screen! Remember: both ordinary Russians and pop stars openly tell their stories to the whole country, largely because they receive a lot of money for it. And we found out exactly who and how many.
Heroes of the plots
Often, the film crew travels to the regions to record stories, which are then shown on the screen in the studio (for example, you need to interview the neighbors of the hero, who will then come to the studio). No one will tell you sometimes unpleasant things for free. It’s another thing to “dump your neighbor” for a couple of tens of thousands of rubles.
Heroes in the studio
Some heroes agree to come for free (but they are paid for travel to Moscow and back, hotel accommodation, food): most often they are interested in publicity and a solution to their problem. For example, people who lost their homes in a fire, or a girl who dreams of proving her relationship with a star or being cured of anorexia.
But sometimes a person refuses to go because he is an anti-hero and he doesn’t want to embarrass himself on air. For example, this is a man who does not recognize his child. And without this guy the program will be boring! 50 - 70 thousand rubles (a colossal amount for many and a penny for television) solves the problem. People are greedy - that’s what provides the television crew with the necessary degree of scandal.
According to our sources, Anastasia Volochkova’s driver, who was persuaded to come to the Let Them Talk studio for 50 thousand rubles. The veteran, who transferred the apartment to his young wife and left his son with nothing, was paid 70 thousand. Rowdy Alexander Orlov, who beat up an NTV correspondent on Airborne Forces Day live, according to his words, was offered 100 thousand (although the show never got around to being recorded). Herself (now to Dmitry Shepelev in his show “Actually”). But because the family needs to be fed.
Show business stars and their relatives have higher prices. So, Danko’s wife received 150 thousand rubles for revelations about relationships in the family (we’ll tell you more about this). Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina, who periodically quarrel and then make up, are paid 500 thousand rubles for one program (which the actor himself wrote about on social networks). Nikita admitted that he once bargained for as much as 600 thousand and worked it out in full, staging a fiery performance on air. The father of one artist agreed to tell how he abandoned his son as a child and did not pay child support, and now expects reciprocity, for 200 thousand rubles.
Experts
Psychologists, nutritionists, lawyers and other people who comment on the problem in the studio often agree to broadcast for free - for the sake of PR. But some intractable but interesting people are still paid - from 30 to 50 thousand rubles. Of course, they are brought to the shooting and taken back by taxi, and provided with a make-up artist and hairdresser if necessary.
Extras
The audience in the studio gets the least. On the other hand, they see everything first and without cuts. For example, the country was still guessing, but they already knew that Dmitry Borisov.

How much does the “king of the booth” earn? In a recent interview with the Kommersant newspaper, Andrei Malakhov did not argue with the journalist, who named the presenter’s annual income when he hosted “Let Them Talk” on Channel One - $1 million (57 million rubles, or 4.75 million rubles in month). According to Andrey, at his new job his income is “comparable.” It’s hard for you and me to believe, but this is not much - considering that, for example, Olga Buzova receives an average of 50 million rubles a year for running “House-2”.
Scandalous talk shows are now at the peak of popularity. The team of each such program strives to find a hot topic and lure more interesting characters into the studio. In pursuit of high ratings, channels are ready to spend money: it turns out that not only television workers receive money for filming, but also almost everyone you see on the screen!
Both ordinary Russians and famous personalities openly tell their stories throughout the country, largely because they receive impressive fees for it. Journalists found out exactly who and how many.
Heroes of the plots
During a talk show, various stories related to the main characters are often shown on the screen: relatives, neighbors, and colleagues are interviewed. To do this, the film crew travels to the regions in search of juicy details. But no one is in a hurry to tell unpleasant things for free, but “scamming a neighbor” for a couple of tens of thousands of rubles is another matter.
Heroes in the studio
Heroes who are interested in publicity and solving their problem or simply thirst for fame often agree to come for free. They are paid for travel to Moscow and back, hotel accommodation, and meals. These are, for example, people who lost their homes in a fire, or a person who dreams of proving their relationship with a star.
But the antiheroes don’t want to go to the studio and embarrass themselves in front of the whole country. They solve the problem for 50-70 thousand rubles - a colossal amount for many citizens and a penny for television.
According to some reports, the driver of former ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, whom she accuses of stealing money, was persuaded to come to the Let Them Talk studio for 50 thousand rubles. The veteran, who transferred the apartment to his young wife and left his son with nothing, was paid 70 thousand. Diana Shurygina and her family received about 300 thousand rubles for participating in several episodes of “Let Them Talk.”
Show business stars and their relatives have higher prices. Thus, Danko’s wife received 150 thousand rubles for revelations about the family. Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina, who like to publicly sort things out, are paid 500 thousand rubles for one program.
Experts
Psychologists, nutritionists, lawyers and other experts who comment on the problem in the studio often agree to broadcast for free - for the sake of their PR. For those intractable people who are of interest to the viewer, television workers pay from 30 to 50 thousand rubles. Moreover, they are brought to the shooting and taken back by taxi, and provided with a make-up artist and hairdresser.

The audience in the studio gets the least. But they have another advantage - they find out everything first and without cuts. For example, when the country was still wondering who would host “Let Them Talk” instead of Malakhov, these lucky ones already knew that it was Dmitry Borisov.

The biggest fees, of course, go to the presenters. Thus, in a recent interview with the Kommersant newspaper, Andrei Malakhov did not argue with the journalist, who announced as his annual income for working in “Let them talk” on Channel One the amount of $1 million (57 million rubles, or 4.75 million rubles per month). At his new place of work, according to the “king of the booth,” his income is “comparable.”
Another broadcast star, Olga Buzova, receives an average of 50 million rubles a year for hosting “House-2.”
For example, Dana Borisova receives 500 thousand rubles per day of participation in a scandalous TV show. Considering that Dana appears on television at least twice a month, a tidy sum accumulates. With such income, a former TV presenter can not work anywhere and live comfortably. First, Dana told the audience in detail about the difficult relationship with her own mother and the lack of understanding on the part of her daughter Polina. Then the story of Borisova’s drug addiction became the center of the scandal. Now we have to go around the second circle. Dana again appears in the television studio and complains about her ex-husband, who is turning the child against her and demanding alimony. Now it’s clear why an unemployed star doesn’t sell things in order to somehow survive. She makes a great living endlessly selling her family history on talk shows.

In June 2017, actor Alexey Panin found himself at the center of a loud scandal. Shocking videos featuring Panin appeared on the Internet, which caused a huge resonance. The producers of the “Let Them Talk” program immediately decided to invite him on air. The topic was indeed very sensitive. The actor refused to participate in the program for a long time. He turned for advice to Andrei Malakhov, who at that time was the host of this talk show. “I call Andryukha and ask what to do? He says, ask for half a million,” Panin confesses. As a result, he was paid 400 thousand rubles for a shooting day.

Nikita Dzhigurda successfully earned extra money from his love affairs. During his divorce from Marina Anisina, he was a welcome guest on federal channels and received up to 600 thousand rubles for participating in the show. Its former director Antonina Savrasova admits: “Nikita generates news about her life in order to make money from it! Dzhigurda has not worked anywhere for a long time - he does not play in the theater, does not act in films. He gets money from TV shows. He comes to the program, breaks comedy and earns large sums.” Now that the divorce story is a thing of the past, Nikita can agree to 300 thousand. Indeed, difficult times have come.

Diana Shurygina also monetized her own heavy drama quite well. At first, the girl took 200 thousand rubles for stories about the violence she experienced. There is information that currently a short interview with Shurygina costs about 100 thousand, and her participation in a serious discussion will cost the organizers 300-400 thousand rubles.

The scandal surrounding Timur Eremeev, the illegitimate son of Spartak Mishulin, does not want to end. It seemed that the line had been drawn a month ago on the air of the “Let Them Talk” program. The final point in the complicated story was put by a DNA test, which confirmed the direct relationship between Timur and Mishulin. The actor's daughter Karina was forced to recognize her brother, because the examination was carried out in a trustworthy medical center. But only a few weeks have passed, and Karina again participates in the program, where she uncompromisingly and zealously denies the results of the genetic examination. Well, for that kind of money, this show will last forever!

Among the stars who have been most successful in selling their family secrets wholesale and retail, Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya is in the lead. She visited Andrei Malakhov’s show and other similar programs so many times that she already provided for herself for the rest of her life. According to insiders, her husband, the famous artist Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, does not require payment for the interview. But his young wife is not so scrupulous. The enterprising person managed to make a good fortune while married to Dzhigarkhanyan. But the divorce continues to bring her endless dividends. According to information from a competent source, Vitalina once asked for a million rubles for her participation in the program. As a rule, Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya receives 500 thousand rubles for broadcasting. It’s difficult to even count how many times over the past four months talk shows have been aired dedicated to the scandal surrounding Dzhigarkhanyan and his wife. It seems that Vitalina earned a tidy sum from the idle curiosity of the audience. It is not without reason that Evgeny Parfenov, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan’s lawyer, believes that the artist’s young wife is deliberately delaying the divorce: “Perhaps this is being done for Vitalina’s participation in television shows. Contracts are concluded there and she is paid huge fees. This is PR and business. I see that the opposite side continues to incite an information war.”

Not only stars, but also people who accidentally find themselves at the center of the hype story manage to improve their financial condition at the peak of the scandal. For example, biker Ishutin, who hit singer Yuri Antonov at a gas station, managed to earn a total of about 1.5 million rubles from television. It is curious that in court he compensated Antonov for damages in the amount of 60 thousand rubles. It turns out that a fight with a celebrity can solve your financial problems. And the stars themselves have obvious benefits. In addition to direct payments, they also receive indirect acquisitions. So, after participating in the show, Karina Mishulina was able to increase the placement of paid advertising on her Instagram page several times.
Andrei Malakhov's show “Let Them Talk” is one of the most popular on Russian television. Previously, it was published in a similar format, but under different names - “The Big Wash” and “Five Evenings.” Viewers witness touching stories, scandals and quarrels. We decided to find out what tricks the creators of the program resort to in order to achieve such a high rating.
The executive producer of documentary television projects, Natalya (not her real name), worked for some time next to the pavilion where the “Let Them Talk” program was filmed. For more than a year, the woman watched the process of creating the show and concluded that only an unscrupulous person who is ready to lie, deceive and persuade (not without compensation, of course) the heroes to come to the program can work there.
“An ordinary citizen can be offered 15 thousand to begin with (this is in addition to paid travel and accommodation). Rubles, of course. If he doesn’t agree, the rates will rise. Not to say that the editors were wasting money. 50 thousand - this is if the story is completely “chic”. Most potential heroes, if they are from the provinces, fall for the very opportunity to see Moscow, get on television - it turns out to be a free excursion,” Natalya said in an interview.
Celebrities receive more serious amounts. For example, the American actress Lindsay Lohan, who had a scandal with her Russian boyfriend, was lured to Moscow with a fee of 600,000 rubles, according to press reports. However, she did not come to the broadcast, so Malakhov had to go to her hotel to interview her.
The family of Diana Shurygina received about 200,000 rubles for five programs. Moreover, contracts are concluded with the heroes of all talk shows, implying non-participation in other television projects.
Smaller stars are paid around 100,000 rubles. “Prokhor Chaliapin, who had two scandalous affairs in a row, at one time turned out to be a kind of business: he gets married, then gets divorced, then starts a new one. The ratings are good, everyone is happy,” added Natalya.
It is worth saying that the “Let Them Talk” program has been criticized more than once by the public. Thus, the well-known actor Alexey Serebryakov publicly criticized the show:
“This program most clearly demonstrates to us that, it turns out, putting up for sale someone else’s pain, tears, troubles, digging through dirty laundry in full view of the whole country without any moral right today is called the simple word “format.” Or rather, a format that brings good money. The degree of cynicism simply boggles the mind<…>And what do you want?! Of course this will be in demand! Toilet paper, for example, will always be in greater demand than Dostoevsky's manuscripts! And stupid reality shows, in which participants endlessly sort things out and sleep with everyone, will a priori have a higher rating than a Tarkovsky film.”
