Just to give you an idea how much ABC is paying the celebrities to be on DWTS
Shawn Johnson $cores Big with "DWTS" Contract
Shawn Johnson is raking in the cash on "Dancing with the Stars" -- although she may not think it's worth the hassle of dealing with alleged stalker Robert O'Ryan.
We've obtained a copy of Shawn's "Dancing" contract -- a public document filed with the L.A. County Superior Court. A judge had to approve the deal because she's a minor. Under the contract, Shawn gets a guarantee of $125,000 for appearing on the show. By surviving the first elimination, she gets an additional $10,000 a week for weeks 3 and 4.
If Shawn survives the next eliminations, the rate doubles to $20,000 a week for weeks 5, 6 and 7. For weeks 8 and 9 she scores $30,000 a week.
And here's where it really gets sweet. In weeks 10 and 11, if Shawn makes it through, she gets $50,000 a week.
Total take if Shawn makes it to the final 2 -- $365,000.
Under the contract, Shawn must train approximately 20 hours a week. As for the all important issue of injuries ... the contract makes it clear that "Dancing" has no liability. It reads, "Artist releases Producer, Network ... from any and all claims ... arising from physical or other injury resulting from Artist's appearance in the Series..."
Nice work if you can get it.

Because many of the celebrities are giving up other projects and time to do this so ABC has to come up with some cash to attract people. Some like Lisa Rinna have felt the effort was worthwhile because of the work she has received from the attention on DWTS, others don't see much of an effect. I know that Beth Ostrowski (Howard Stern's wife) turned down the offer to go on because of the time commitment and flying back and forth from the East coast to do the show.

I'm sure most of the celebrities that appear on the show donate their earnings to charity.
