Most men and women who take on the role of The Bachelorette or The Bachelor decide to quit their jobs. In return, they make a salary of about $100,000 plus some hefty perks, according to Good Housekeeping.
Before her role as The Bachelorette, Hannah B. was Miss Alabama USA 2018 and a contestant on Miss USA. She earned perks as Miss Alabama and split her time between volunteering for her role and working as an interior designer.
Hannah Brown was also a contestant on The Bachelor with Colton Underwood. Her time on The Bachelor had a dramatic ending when he sent her home during a one-on-one date.

According to Good Housekeeping, the salary for The Bachelorette and The Bachelor was bumped up to $100,000. Previously, stars would earn a salary similar to what they earned at their jobs, which would be about $51,500 for Hannah B. Now The Bachelor and Bachelorette usually receive about $100,000 for salaries, meaning she got a salary bump for her time on the show.
