"All that &amp;quot;redneck-onizing&amp;quot; Alana Thompson does on a daily basis? Turns out it isn&amp;apos;t nearly as lucrative as one would think.\r\nToddlers &amp;amp; Tiaras&amp;apos; 7-year-old breakout star -- known to viewers as Honey Boo Boo Child -- and her family pull in just $2,000 to $4,000 per Here Comes Honey Boo Boo episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.\r\n\r\n\r\nConsidering TLC&amp;apos;s incredible success chronicling the adventures of Alana, her mother, her three sisters and her father, affectionately dubbed &amp;quot;Sugar Bear,&amp;quot; the Thompson crew&amp;apos;s salary per episode is actually quite low. (THR points out that, for its August 29 episode, the program saw a 30 percent increase in viewers from the previous week, attracting an audience of 3 million -- and beating every network&amp;apos;s coverage of the Republican National Convention.)\r\n\r\nAnother TLC-groomed star, Kate Gosselin, raked in a reported $250,000 per episode of Kate + 8; Jersey Shore&amp;apos;s Nicole &amp;quot;Snooki&amp;quot; Polizzi landed a $30,000-per-installment deal with MTV.\r\nStill, June Shannon -- aka &amp;quot;Mama&amp;quot; -- told TMZ recently THR was way off the mark and that her family is actually &amp;quot;very well compensated&amp;quot; for the program (She refused to discuss specific numbers).\r\n\r\nTell Us: Do Honey Boo Boo and her family deserve a raise?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
