The family we all love to hate just signed a deal that put them on top of the stratosphere of reality TV. But, the 9-figure price tag originally reported is a bit exaggerated says the network. 

Yesterday, the Kardashians broke the net when news surfaced about their $100 million contract with the E!. But sources connected with NBCUniversal, E!’s parent company,  told TMZ that amount is “grossly inaccurate.”

NBCUniversal called the $100 mil story “grossly inaccurate.” But our sources connected with the network say the word “grossly” may be grossly inaccurate, because we’re told best case scenario they could earn in the $80 million range (with ratings bonuses) for 3 seasons with an option for a 4th.

Additionally, the Kardashians deal includes everything they due for the network. This means that the family does not get paid extra for any other work done on E!. What’s strange is that Rob Kardashian is not part of the family deal. Sources say that Rob will only get paid per episode, that’s if he’s filming scenes at all.

Bruce Jenner and Scott Disick are not part of the deal at all either. However, Scott does have his own deal with the network.
