Note that the shows noted after each name are not necessarily ones that the reality stars appeared on during the last year. Some are simply the shows that they are best known for or the most recent one they've appeared on.

In addition, a few of those reality stars listed above earned nearly nothing in the past year from actually appearing on television. The top reality star, Kim Kardashian, for example has become a business entity of her own whose reality show fame only enabled other opportunities.
