Clayton Echard, once a prominent figure on “The Bachelor,” has disclosed that his earnings from Cameo over the past year have surpassed $97,000.
During a recent appearance on the “She’s All Bach” podcast, Echard shared that his popular dance videos on Cameo have become more lucrative than a conventional full-time job.
“I completed 1,300 Cameos in the past year. You can do the math,” he mentioned. “At $75 each, you can calculate how much I’ve earned. It’s quite a substantial amount.”
Podcast host Stefanie Parker was astounded by Echard’s Cameo income, quickly crunching the numbers.
“Holy sh-t!” she exclaimed in disbelief, to which Echard simply replied, “Yeah, it’s good money.”
Echard continued, “And again, why do I have Cameos? Because I was the Bachelor. It brings opportunities. So I appreciate what I’ve gotten from the show.”
The reality star also noted that his money-making Cameos have allowed him to “chase my passions” and “dance more.”
“People are like, ‘All he does is dance all day. What’s his real job?’” he said. “I’m like, ‘If you guys only knew what I’m bringing in.’ Like, I’m chilling.”
Echard was a contestant on Michelle Young’s season of “The Bachelorette” in 2021 before he was named the lead of “The Bachelor” Season 26 in 2022.
He came away from his “Bachelor” stint in a relationship with Susie Evans, but they split after six months of dating.
Last year, Echard’s dance videos were mocked by former “Bachelorette” Gabby Windey, who called her ex a “toe-looking ass, skinny jean-wearing” guy.
“Have you seen his dancing videos? Oh my God, they will make you run, ” she said on the “Las Culturistas” podcast.
“I’m going to send you one, and you [will] wish you didn’t have eyes,” Windey added.
Echard clapped back at Windey, 35, in an Instagram video and accused her of “bullying” him over his physical appearance.
He said his dance moves are “harmless” and “inspired other people to get the courage to step out of their comfort zones and try something new, before expressing that Windey was setting a “really bad example.”
“So, do better Gabby,” he concluded.
