My dh says the QVC/HSN hosts make over $100,000 a year. Do you think thats' what they make or a lot more?

I always figured they made around $200,000 or so. Probably some make more. I always wondered if they get bonuses for having more sales.

I'd be shocked if they were making 200 thou. I remember hearing that Kathy Levine was making 100 thou when she left but she was the queen lol. Maybe Mary Beth who has been on from day 1 is making that kind of money. I just Googled this subject and found this:

"It was a brand-new industry that was exciting and financially rewarding," says Mason. Although she won't reveal her salary, she admits that her income last year was three times what she made when she started. Entry-level hosts can start at $30,000. Depending on your time slot, your ability to move merchandise and your gift of gab, bonuses can push that amount well over the six-figure mark."

This article is over 10 years old - it's dated 2/05. So entry level hosts may be starting out at $45 - $50 thou by now. And I bet like anywhere salary is based on experience too.
