How Much Does 'The Golden Bachelor' Get Paid? Salary Details
The Golden Bachelor is making its hotly anticipated (by me and my grandma) return for season two in a couple months, at which point we'll be formally introduced to Mel Owens. Well, maybe. There's some speculation that Mel could be recast due to controversial comments he made about the age of his contestants, but either way, we're here to talk about how much this man is getting paid to find love on reality television. And while we don't have an exact figure, there's a lot we *do* know. Mel kicked off his career with the LA Rams and was with them for nine full years. Can't speak to his specific pay, but the minimum yearly salary for a NFL player is ~$795,000 (and can reach into the high millions), so seems fair to assume Mel was doing juuuuuust fine. Plus, he became a sports injury lawyer post retirement. How much does he have in the bank, you ask? Celebrity Net Worth puts Mel's net worth at $2 million. ABC has never confirmed what they pay talent, but there's been a lot of information leaked over the years. Amy Kaufman reported in her 2018 book Bachelor Nation that it's "incredibly rare for someone to make less than six figures." There are also rumors that Bachelor Sean Lowe made $75,000 to $90,000 for his season, while Emily Maynard made history negotiating $250,000 for her season. Just keep in mind that Sean and Emily's seasons aired over a decade ago in 2012/2013, so you'd think rates have only gone up since then. not? More recently (but still several years ago in 2021), Jason Tartick revealed that he, Colton Underwood, and Blake Horstmann were offered $100,000 to star on The Bachelor. And Dean Unglert revealed that he was offered $75,000. POINT IS: Chances are Mel will likely be paid somewhere around $100,000 for The Golden Bachelor. If Mel Owens falls in love and agrees to a televised wedding, ABC will write him yet another check. According to Slate, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum were reportedly paid $250,000 for their wedding in 2012, while Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici earned six figures for their wedding a few years later in 2014. While ABC pays their leads, contestants don't earn money on The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, and there's no reason to assume The Golden Bachelor operates differently. As Ashley Iaconetti put it, "You don't get paid as one of the girls on The Bachelor." In fact, contestants often lose money to be on the show due to having to purchase their own wardrobe, and in some cases taking time off or even quitting their jobs! However, they do get paid to go on Bachelor in Paradise (around $400 to $800 a day), and of course there are the inevitable endorsement deals that start rolling in. The Golden Bachelor season 2 premieres September 24, 2025 on ABC.

Gerry Turner warns new 'Golden Bachelor' he's making a serious mistake with controversial age cutoff
"Golden Bachelor" alum Gerry Turner is certain the show's new lead, Mel Owens, will be "cheating himself" if he decides to pursue his controversial plan of cutting contestants who are "60 and over." "I think it would be unfortunate, and I really think he will have a change of heart in this. I think he will see the grace and the charm of women who are over 60 and the confidence they carry, and I think he'll have a change of heart," Turner, 73, told Fox News Digital of Owens — who recently took fans by surprise when he admitted his plans to eliminate any woman on the show who is over 60 years old. "The people that I met in my season, I go through them, and it's like, they're all a gift. To have gotten to know them… Each and every one of them [brought] some unique characteristics to the show, unique characteristics to life." "The age thing… ignore the number, deal with the person," Turner added. During an appearance on the "In The Trenches" podcast in June, Owens, 66, opened up about the age limitations he allegedly requested ahead of casting. "It's blind up until they get out of the limo. But they asked me, 'What's your preferences?' So, I just said 45 to 60, just being honest," he said. "And then the process went, and I was selected, right? And then we had lunch with the executive producer. I said, 'You know, if they're 60 or over, I'm cutting them.' 'Oh Mel, you can't, you know, this is not the 'Silver Bachelor.' It's the 'Golden Bachelor.' He goes, 'But they're going to be hot, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.'" Additionally, Owens said he expects the contestants to all be in good shape. WATCH: 'GOLDEN BACHELOR' GERRY TURNER SAYS NEW LEAD WILL BE 'CHEATING HIMSELF' IF HE CUTS WOMEN 60 AND OVER "I had no resume, but they asked me, what is my, like, my profile?" Owens said. "Well, they got to be fit because I stay in shape. [They] should work out and stuff. And I told them, you know, try to stay away from the artificial hips and the wigs, you know, that kind of stuff, right? "Well, I don't think there are going to be artificial hips or wigs there, right? Because I know there's amazing women out there." Turner said he's confident ABC wouldn't cast a lead who is that "shallow." "His comments about anybody that's had a hip replacement or has a wig or anything like that, I really don't believe that the ABC producers in casting, particularly casting that I have a high level of confidence with, I don't think they would be casting a person who has that shallow of a perspective. I think some of [Owens' comments] requires some context, and it may have been taken out of context and so forth." "But bottom line is, I hope he does look at it differently because if he doesn't, I think he'll be cheating himself." During the first season of the show, the ladies vying for Turner's heart were between 60 and 75 years old. Turner married contestant Theresa Nist shortly after the finale, but the couple got divorced three months later. Despite the failed relationship, Turner is grateful for his experience and hopes Owens can take a page from his playbook. "If he treats each and every one of them with courtesy and respect and is a good listener, pays attention to them and so forth, and ignores their age number, I think it'll be fine," said Turner. "Everyone that gets thrown into this situation has to find their own way. I was fortunate enough, I had very good mentoring on the show. I had people that carefully moved me through some of the pitfalls that maybe Mel hasn't quite avoided as much because I remember specifically being told just, 'Gerry, ignore the age thing,' that 'You'll really find beautiful women of all ages in the show.' And I think he will as well." These days, Turner — who was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer last year — has found love again and is living life to the fullest. WATCH: 'GOLDEN BACHELOR' GERRY TURNER GUSHES ABOUT HIS NEW LOVE, SAYS SHE MAKES LIFE 'EVEN BETTER' "I decided that I wasn't going to say 'no' to anything," Turner said of his change in perspective after his diagnosis. "Anything that came along, any trip, any chance to have fun, anything that I could do, I was going to take it on. Because I felt myself, even before the diagnosis, I was starting to get to that couch potato point where it was a little nicer to sit at home and do nothing than go out and fight whatever challenge it was to travel. And that's really been quite a change for me." "So now something comes along, I say 'yes' to it," he added. "I'm going to go. I'm going to do. So every day is a gift." Turner, who recently started dating Indiana native Lana Sutton, said he's "happy" with where his life is taking him now. "She has more energy than I do. She needs less sleep than I do. I really think she's a more logical thinker than I am, which I think that's a lot. But the nice part is we think and we approach things very similarly, so we don't have any conflicts as we're trying to make decisions and so forth. We generally arrive at the same place, sometimes not the same way, but usually the same place." "With Lana now in the picture, she makes [life] even better. It's so good to have a partner that understands and is in it with you 100% and so forth. So it took me a while to get to this point, but I'm pretty happy with where I am."

Indiana woman joins 'Bachelor in Paradise.' What to know about Nancy Hulkower
An Indiana native came to help shake things up on this season of "Bachelor in Paradise." Nancy Hulkower, 62, arrived late in the episode, sparking interest from senior men in the group at the Costa Rica beach resort. The reality dating show, in its 10th season, brings together former contenders from 'The Bachelor' franchise to explore new relationships. Hulkower, who grew up in Warsaw, Indiana, was a cast member of the first season of "The Golden Bachelor," when Indiana resident Gerry Turner was the lead. She was eliminated in week four of that show. The bio for Hulkower on ABC's website describes her as a retired interior designer from Alexandria, Virginia, who 'loves playing golf, walking her goldendoodle, Max, and watching college basketball.' Fun facts about her: She loves a good rom-com; is a dancing machine, but only at weddings; and is a Bruce Springsteen fan. 'The mother of three is loyal, faithful and funny, and is looking for a self-assured, trustworthy man with whom to share her life,' according to the ABC bio. 'She is a self-described hopeless romantic and says, 'I believe in love stories. And even having a great one, I believe I can have another.'" Golden Bachelor no more: Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist get hitched. Huklower was born in Fort Wayne and grew up in Warsaw, leaving for college in 1982. She's lived in Alexandria, Virginia, since 1988. Hulkower is the widow of lawyer Mark J. Hulkower, who prosecuted C.I.A. traitor and Soviet spy Aldrich Ames for treason and defended high-profile executives accused of white collar crimes. He died in 2011. Her parents, David and Carole Delp, live in Winona Lake, Indiana. This is the first 'Bachelor in Paradise' season to include alumni cast members from 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette' shows. Ten members from the senior spinoffs arrived at the resort in week three of the season, which aired July 15. Gary Levingston, 66, from the first season of 'The Golden Bachelorette,' and Faith Martin, 62, who finished third on the first season of "The Golden Bachelor," also joined the resort early on the July 21 episode. Lea Cayanan, 25, a contestant on the 28th season of 'The Bachelor,' arrived with Hulkower. 'Bachelor in Paradise' airs on ABC on Mondays at 8 p.m. and streams starting the next day on Hulu.
