Duane Chapman aka Dog the Bounty Hunter is Hawaii’s newest muli-millionare having signed a $2.6 million contact with A&E for the third season of Dog the Bounty Hunter.
“We haven’t gotten to really celebrate yet because we’re filming right out of the shoot,” said Beth Smith, Chapman’s partner and companion for 12 years.
“But we got (from A&E) what we wanted.”
The new contract pays Chapman $100,000 per episode for 26 half-hour shows. That price is believed to be about double what Chapman made for each of the first two seasons.
Chapman and Smith declined comment on the salary figures, citing contract confidentiality. The $2.6 million will also cover salaries for the other four cast members of the Hawaii-based show.
Smith joked that she got a “Big IOU from the Dog for anything I wanted” because she negotiated the lucrative A&E contract.
We’d never want to encounter Beth at the bargining table, that’s for damn sure.
