It's been reported by various sources that the cast members of Port Protection Alaska make $4500 per episode but we have found no substantial confirmation that this is the case. What sets this show apart from other reality television series, if one can call Port Protection Alaska a reality television show, is that its cast is not using the show as a cash grab.

Other reality television stars have historically used the modicum of fame they've amassed from their show to turn themselves into a brand or property. For example, there are over 50 books written by or about past and current Real Housewives. Your favorite television celebrity chef undoubtedly has at least one cookbook available for purchase. And let's not forget how social media itself can be monetized. No one from or on Port Protection Alaska has their vodka and they certainly aren't using hashtags.
