WIGGLES' SALARY WARS!

Blue Wiggle Anthony Field banks millions every year but the four new ‘woke’ Wiggles will be paid just a fraction of that amount

WIGGLES' SALARY WARS!

They’re the most successful children’s entertainment group in the world, bringing joy to millions of kids and their parents, but The Wiggles is also a money-making machine – and the new-look supergroup is designed to cement its world domination.

“There’s a reason everybody wants to be a Wiggle – the band rakes in more than $20 million a year from tours, TV shows, new releases, merchandise and sponsorships,” explains one music insider. “It’s a non-stop river of gold.”

But the new Wiggles announced last week won’t get their hands on a piece of that fortune after signing strict contracts, with starting salaries estimated at just $150,000 per year – falling way short of the $750,000 that Yellow Wiggle Emma Watkins earns!

And Emma’s massive salary even pales in comparison to the earnings of the only remaining founding member, Anthony Field, who owns a majority share of the supergroup worth an estimated minimum of $50 million, on top of the millions he earns in royalties and performance fees each year.

“Don’t get me wrong, these new members aren’t complaining because they know the power The Wiggles has to transform their lives,” says the insider. “It’s still a great paying gig that so many other singers would kill for, particularly in the current climate.”
