Survivor is arguably one of the best reality TV shows of all time, and it’s influenced countless future projects. The long-running series (which is streaming with a Paramount+ subscription) was created by thirteen-time Emmy winner Mark Burnett, who was also the man behind other shows like The Apprentice and The Voice. He’s renting out his home in Malibu, and the monthly fee is enough to make your eyes water. Seriously, I almost spit out my coffee.
While fans are often wondering how much Survivor contestants make, that prize money is just a drop in the bucket for Mark Burnett. I mean, just look at the number he’s dealing with for rentals alone. Robb Report published a story which revealed that Burnett is renting out his Malibu mansion for a whopping $350,000 per month. Suddenly I’m not feeling quite so bad about the price of my own rent.
Survivor nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program this year. The fandom is showing no signs of losing interest, especially as the whopping 50th season approaches. Survivor 50 will feature returning players for the first time in years, and one can only imagine how fired up the generations of fans will be when it finally premieres.
I’m definitely curious to see if/when Mark Burnett’s Malibu home finds renters. Whoever it is will need some deep pockets, and I’d love to know exactly who ends up there. But it’s more than possible this will remain a private affair, so I’d better not hold my breath (or snuff my torch).
