Why do celebs put themselves through Celebrity Big Brother? It could be something to do with #moneymoneymoney

The new CBB is HERE and it's already causing controversy with big characters like Natalie Nunn and Human Ken Doll Rodrigo Alves.

One of the most outrageous moments so far is the news of rumoured fees paid to some of this year's celebs.

Apparently, adult entertainer Stormy Daniels was offered £750,000 and she didn't even step foot in the house.

Take a look at how much each contestant was paid this year.

But the American revealed on Loose Women that she was donating the fee to charity. She also denied asking for more money and said there were legal reasons for not joining CBB.

We all know that many celebs take part in CBB to earn some extra cash and exposure, but some really do demand more than others.

So we thought we'd take a look back and see just exactly how much previous contestants have been paid.

CBB contestants: how much were they paid?

Katie Price

What's Pricey's price? Well, she may have been a late surprise contestant in series 15 (which she went on to win), but Pricey apparently bagged an impressive £400,000. Not bad for three weeks work, eh!

Steph Davis

In January 2016, Steph Davis entered the CBB house... and her life was never the same again. At the time, she was best known for her role as Sinead O'Connor in Hollyoaks, and was paid £150,000 to enter the house. Not bad, eh!

Gemma Collins

Well this is a bit #awks, because it turns out TOWIE fave Gemma Collins - who entered the house with Steph - didn't get paid as much. Not that she did badly, reportedly earning £100,000 for her time in the house. Strictly Come Dancing's Kristina Rhianoff apparently also got paid the same.

Katie Hopkins

Love her or hate her, Katie Hopkins sure knows how to get headlines, and the producers of CBB certainly thought she was worth splashing the cash on, as she got paid a stonking £400,000 for appearing in series 17.

Stephen Bear

Yes, there's big money in CBB... but not for everyone. Spare a thought for Ex On The Beach stud (and Charlotte Crosby's current squeeze) Stephen Bear, who was only paid £12k for taking part! Obviously £12,000 is hardly small change, but still, it's fair to say he was royally mugged off!

Ray J

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have Ray J - Kim Kardashian's ex (and sex tape partner) - who is the highest earning CBB housemate of all time. Ray J was paid a staggering $1million to appear in the show (around £810,000). Now that sh*t IS cray!

Do you think the CBB housemates deserve to get paid this much? Let us know onFacebook or Twitter.
