Dancing With The Stars is readying itself to begin Season 33. Over the years, the show has seen a plethora of celebrities. The competition show pairs the celebrity contestant with a professional dancer and eliminates at least one couple every week until one couple is left to win the title and the mirrorball trophy. The show casts athletes, Bachelor Nation favorites, Olympians, actors and singers popular from years ago, those who have had controversy and need to fix their reputation and more.
However, despite DWTS being known for casting more C and D-list celebrities, more recently the show has gotten more popular stars. And just because they aren’t popular right now doesn’t mean they weren’t ten years ago. Some of them have racked up a pretty impressive net worth, including their paychecks from the show.
While the pros have gained nobility over the years, the competition is really about the celebrities. Among 33 seasons, these are richest Dancing With The Stars contestants of all time. Some of them may shock you.
