Celebrity gossip site TMZ got a copy of the original MTV contract with Ryan Sheckler for the first year of his reality show Life of Ryan. TMZ thinks he was overpaid, but it doesn’t really seem like it to us.
The docs show that when Sheckler was 17-years-old, dude was making $9,617.70 an episode for his reality show “Life of Ryan.” . . The docs had to be signed by his guardian and the president of his company, Ryan Sheckler Inc — both of whom happen to be his mom. . . . But Ryan wasn’t the only kid from his family cashin’ in — his brothers Kane and Shane also got paid for their sidekick roles, each were $1,500 a show.
There were eight episodes in season one so that means Ryan made $76,941.6 for having his life blown out on MTV. Aside from the fact that the show was basically an ad for Ryan Sheckler, Inc. it doesn’t seem like all the much for a hit MTV show.
