5. He Made $375,000 Per Episode To Appear On His Own Show

The Apprentice was a very popular reality television show for a short period of time. It gave President Trump great exposure, continued to popularize his brand and graduate to becoming a household name, and gave President Trump the opportunity to make new partnerships and advertising ventures. It also apparently gave him a pretty decent paycheck. At 15 episodes per season, he made $5.6 million a year just to star in his own show.
