The Traitors alum, who will compete on Dancing With the StarsSeason 35, has reportedly been fielding actual acting roles in addition to being a reality show stalwart.

“[There’s] a lot of exciting conversations with designers. Obviously, I really love fashion, so there’s a lot happening around that, which I literally could scream about. [I’m] also having exciting conversations with producers and execs in the scripted world, which could be very different for me,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s stuff happening that I could have only ever dreamt of, things that are on my vision board that I probably never thought would become a reality.”

While she was cagey about specifics, a source spilled on some scripted possibilities.

“Maura is keeping her cards close to her chest, but she couldn’t help but tell pals she’s reading scripts for Disney,” a loose-lipped insider told The Sun. “Everyone—including Maura—is stunned at how well her career in the U.S. is going. This is just the beginning.”

It’s great that her career is going well, because Higgins is a pretty big spender. The Sun estimates that the stunner’s glam squad can cost roughly $10,000 per day—and that’s without factoring in travel costs.

Higgins went home from The Traitors Season 4 empty-handed after Rob Rausch betrayed her for the $220,800 grand prize. However, considering all the offers she’s gotten since breaking through as a star stateside on the Peacock competition series, we’d wager that she’s doing just fine.

How does Maura Higgins make money?

Higgins makes the bulk of her bucks from reality TV.

In addition to her stateside star turn on The Traitors, as a contestant on Love Island Season 5 in 2019, she likely made about $500 per week, which isn’t much—but it was a worthwhile investment considering how much money she’s made since first appearing on the show.

She’s since gone on to host Love Island USA: Aftersun, Love Island Games: Aftersun and Glow Up. Higgins has also competed on other shows including Cooking With the Stars, Dancing on Ice and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.

Dancing on Ice contestants reportedly earn $27,000 and $135,000.

While salaries for I’m a Celebrity… can vary from celebrity to celebrity and season to season, some contestants reportedly make more than $30,000 per day, and Higgins lasted 19 days on the show. That means, if she commanded the $30,000 daily rate, she would’ve made $570,000.

She starred in her first movie, The Spin, in February 2026.

Her work as an influencer and brand endorser is also particularly lucrative.

Higgins previously had a makeup line with Irish brand Inglot Cosmetics and appeared in videos for makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic (famous for his work with Kim Kardashian) promoting his makeup line. She currently has her own eyelash line at Primark and is one of the faces of MAC Cosmetics in Ireland and the U.K. Outside of the beauty realm, Higgins has appeared in ads for Just Eat (a food and restaurant delivery service) and Greggs (a sandwich cafe). While her paydays for each aren’t public, chances are she didn’t work for cheap!

According to The Sun, she commanded about $7,000 per sponsored Instagram post back in 2023 when she had 3.7 million Instagram followers, and that payday is likely substantially higher now: She now has 4.3 million followers thanks to the success of The Traitors.

The Sun also reported in February 2026 that Higgins landed a six-figure deal with Victoria’s Secret, though the specific figures weren’t revealed. She previously had a deal with Ann Summers, a sex toy and lingerie chain, valued at about $676,000.

How much does Maura Higgins make on Dancing with the Stars?

It remains to be seen exactly how much cash Higgins will take home on Dancing With the Stars, because the total will depend on how long she lasts in the competition. That said, we know she’ll at least make the $125,000 contestants receive for 20 hours per week of training before the season starts.

From there, she’ll make $10,000 for weeks three and four, $15,000 for week five, $20,000 each for weeks six and seven and $30,000 each for weeks eight and nine. If she makes it to the semi-finals and season finale, she’ll get an additional $50,000 for each of those weeks.
