Not necessarily reality just TV shows like Total Wipeout, but TV shows in general.
I saw that Zendaya gets paid 1 mill USD per episode to be in Euphoria, which is INSANE. How do the creators of these shows make a profit? Where exactly is the income coming from?

To quote Zuckerberg “We sell ads”
Every advertisement, commercial, and product placement in these shows is paid for by a company.
If you see an actor drinking a brand name soda for example you can pretty much guarantee that the brand paid a lot of money for that to be there.
When the shows are sold to other networks as re-runs they have to pay for that as well, and they in turn sell there own ads.
How much they charge for ads varies as well. The more popular the show the more they charge for the ads. While older episodes or re-runs charge much less for ads but that revenue keeps adding up for years after the fact.
In the case of streaming networks they charge subscription fees.
$20 a person may not sound like much, but with 700 million users on Netflix that’s 1.4 Billion a month
They still charge for product placements too
