There is also another perk to being on a show like Summer House–in 2017, former star Stephen McGee revealed that the cast doesn’t actually pay all of the rent for their Hamptons home. “We do not pay rent on the house,” McGee revealed during an appearance on the Reality Life podcast, as noted by Reality Tea. “We do have financial risks in the show. We do not have everything paid for. I do not do a share that would have cost me $20,000 every summer.”
McGee continued, “With the show and all the obligations that come producing a show, we needed to have a bigger house. Even though the house is big and you see all of our rooms, there’s rooms that were used for storage, production, and cameras. We weren’t paying extra for those spaces to give them room to produce the show.”
