Bigg Boss has been one of the most watched reality shows since the beginning. People are crazy about the show and it’s format and they just love how people reveal their true colors with the passing of time in isolation. While many celebs have come and gone, there are a few who have marked their presence in gold.
They have made money with every breath they took in the Bigg Boss house and today, we bring to you the highest paid celebrities who entered the Bigg Boss house ever.
The Baywatch star made eyeballs pop out when she made her entry to the BB house. She added all the glitz and glam to the small screen with her brief appearance. You will be surprised to know that Pamela Anderson was paid a whopping sum of Rs 2 crores for just three days for her stint on Bigg Boss Season 4.
Yes, you remember her correctly. The lazy one. And the one who drove people crazy. Rimi Sen entered the Bigg Boss house in season 9 and was paid a sum of Rs 2 crores.
Cricketer Sreesanth was expected to clear lots of controversies during his stay in the BB house. He stirred a lot of controversies in Bigg Boss 12 instead, all because of his temperament issues. Though he lost the trophy to Dipika Kakar, Sree certainly took home a lot of money. If reports are to be believed, Sreesanth charged around Rs 50 lakh per week from the makers of Bigg Boss. Now, thats huge!
Shilpa, or the former Bhabhiji from the popular TV show Bhabhiji Ghar Pe Hai!, created a lot of buzz. When she and VIkas Gupta came face to face, the entertainment was sky high.

Actor Kajol’s younger sister Tanishaa Mukerji was a big name when she entered the BB house. She made her debut in Bollywood in 2005 with Neal ‘n’ Nikki opposite Uday Chopra.
