Octomom, Nadya Suleman Signs Reality-TV Deal For Kids

Nadya Suleman, better known as Octomom because of her giving birth to octuplets, has reportedly singed a deal that will give each of her 14 kids $250 a day to appear on a Rreality show. Yeah that's right, she has 6 more kids besides the octuplets. All of which are under the age of 8.

The contracts filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court guarantee the children will collectively earn about $250,000 over three years. The contracts require a judge's approval.

European production company Eyeworks has inked the deal with Suleman. Eyeworks lists "Breaking Bonaduce" and "The Biggest Loser" among its television credits.

The show is slated to begin filming Sept. 1, according to the documents.

The payments outlined in the contracts say Suleman's kids will collectively earn $125,000 for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, $75,000 for 21 days in the second year and $50,000 for 14 days in the third year. Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate. Guess they don't have to worry about Outer Banks foreclosures in the future. That is if they actually end up with the money. Something I don't forsee, but what do I know?

The contract also states that 15 percent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a "Coogan Trust Account," as required by California law. The monies can't be touched until the children turn 18 or become legally emancipated.
