Cheryl Burke first came to prominence back in 2006 when she first joined the ABC hit series, Dancing With The Stars. Burke was one of the many talented pro-dancers to join the series and managed to take home not one, but two wins in her first seasons, making her an instant fan-favorite. During this time, Cheryl began dating actor Matthew Lawrence, whom she would go on to marry 13 years later, despite their decade-long separation.
Cheryl has remained a pro-dancer on DWTS for its entirety and has been partnered with celebs from Rob Kardashian, Drew Carey, Jack Osbourne, and Ryan Lochte, to name a few. Considering she has been part of the show for so long, fans are curious as to how much Cheryl is worth today. While we may know who the richest DWTS dancer is, here is exactly where Cheryl Burke falls on that list.
How Much Is Cheryl Burke Worth Today?
Cheryl Burke is certainly one name that you would recognize, especially if you are a fan of the hit ABC talent series, Dancing With The Stars. Cheryl joined the show during its second season back in 2006 where she took home her first win. It didn't take much time before Cheryl became a fan favorite and won her second championship during her second season. The star has appeared on 23 seasons, making her the professional dancer to have appeared on more shows than anyone else!
Despite her status on the show, Cheryl Burke is not paid nearly as much as fans would think! It appears as if there is a massive pay discrepancy amongst DWTS stars, and it really shows when Cherly's salary comes up. According to Cheat Sheet, Cheryl began by making $1,200 per episode, which has since gone up to $5,000, however, she is only making "4 percent of her partner's signing bonus," which is quite a head-scratcher. After 23 seasons and 15 years on the show, Cheryl has managed to amass a net worth of $450,000.
When compared to DWTS pro-dancers, Glebb Savechenko, and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who are both worth $1.5 million and $8 million respectively, fans are wondering why Cheryl's net worth is not nearly as high, especially if she has been on the show the longest. Well, Cheryl has earned most of her coin from the show and show only. While most pro-dancers go on to open their own studios, release books and appear in countless other reality shows, Cheryl has focused primarily on the show and relationship.
The dancer married on and off again boyfriend, Matthew Lawrence in 2019, and they have been head over heels happy ever since. The two originally began dating back in 2007, however, they split in 2009 and remained separated for nearly a decade! Luckily Cheryl and Matthew rekindled their flame and finally tied the knot on May 23, 2019.
