Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders get massive pay raise in wake of Netflix show
Briefly

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have become one of the highest-paid cheer groups in the NFL following substantial pay raises after the second season of their Netflix show. Initial salaries compared to Chick-fil-A employees were about $31,200. Post the show's first season, cheerleaders experienced a 400% pay increase, raising their potential earnings to approximately $124,800. However, actual salaries vary based on performance, tenure, and individual schedules. One cheerleader expressed a hope to eventually earn $75,000, noting the position is part-time with flexible hours that respect personal lives.
During season one, when asked how much money they made, one cheerleader compared it to Chick-fil-A employee salaries, who, per ZipRecruiter, make $15 an hour in Texas or approximately $31,200 per year working 40 hours a week.
After season 1 aired, the group received 400% pay raises, which would mean they were making approximately $124,800 using Chick-fil-A salaries as a benchmark, though the total amount made is dependent upon appearances and tenure with the group.
Many of the opportunities we get are optional and based on your schedule, so it depends on the girl! Hoping for one day to make 75K! This is also a part-time job, and sometimes it's only 2.5 hours a night!
The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are perhaps the most well-known and popular cheer group in the NFL, and the group is now among the highest paid after huge pay raises.
