Anil Kapoor’s show Bigg Boss OTT 3 has been the talk of the town since its premiere. According to several reports, the show has garnered 42% more views in the past three weeks compared to Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss OTT 2, indicating the heightened interest and engagement from the audience.
One of the most talked-about aspects of the show has been Armaan Malik’s polygamous marriage, which was featured on the show. Now, details about the YouTuber’s fees for participating in Bigg Boss OTT 3 have emerged.
Armaan Malik is one of the wealthiest YouTubers in India, with a total net worth of around ₹200-300 crores. As soon as he entered the show, he faced a lot of negativity and bad comments from people. However, it cannot be denied that participating in such a major platform could provide a significant break in Armaan’s career.
Regarding his fees, according to a report by Siasat, Armaan Malik earns ₹2 lakhs per episode, which means he earns ₹14 lakhs per week. Calculating his total payment for his time on Bigg Boss OTT 3 so far, it exceeds ₹50 lakhs, making him one of the highest-paid contestants on the show.
Armaan Malik began his career as a mechanic, and there was a time when his mother was worried that he might never get married due to not completing his studies. For those who are unaware, Armaan once ran away from home after failing to pass the eighth grade twice, but he returned and was beaten by his father. However, he gained publicity through his vlogs and became one of the richest YouTubers. In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Armaan revealed that his net worth is ₹200-300 crores.
