The duo, who have been honest about their romances and personal troubles, haven't been shy about showing off their wealth on social media, flaunting a lavish lifestyle. But how did they manage to enjoy such opulent lives? How much did TLC pay them? How much are they worth?
How Did Darcey And Stacey Get A Show?
The Silva sisters became known after they appeared on the hit TLC series, 90 Day Fiancé. Fans were immediately drawn to the two, mainly when it came to their upbeat personalities, outrageous romantic affairs, and Barbie looks. It was Darcey who first made an appearance in the show until her twin sister Stacey came into the scene.
Darcey rose to fame in 2017 after appearing on season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Jesse Meester, a younger foreign love from Amsterdam whom she'd met online, was presented to the divorced Middletown, CT resident. However, the couple's continual squabbling and nitpicking got in the way, and they ended up breaking up in a violent brawl.
Seasons 3 and 4 of Before the 90 Days saw Darcey fall in love with British businessman Tom Brooks, but their relationship also ended in disaster. Stacey, Darcey's twin sister and a divorced mother of two, has been engaged to Albanian model Florian Sukaj for the past five years.
While Darcey and Stacey's many appearances on reality TV catapulted them to popularity, the twins started their reality TV series in 2020 called Darcey and Stacey. The show shares insights into their personal lives. With tons of viewers after its first season, the show did so well that it welcomed its second installment in July 2021.
The show continued to gain huge success and fans were turning in religiously to see what sort of mischief the ladies would wind up in. This led to the automatic renewal of the show, immediately sending the twins into season three before the second season had even concluded.

Their TLC show has mesmerized viewers and this current season is promising to pack even more entertainment value than ever before. The duo is definitely doing their part to drum up some fanfare, never missing an opportunity to tease everyone with the juicy storyline, but fans need to tune in to season three to see how things transpire for Darcey and Stacey.
How Much Did TLC Pay The Twins Per Episode?
As Darcey joined the reality dating show for over four seasons, from 2017 to 2020, with a total of 51 episodes spanning those seasons, anyone can imagine that she made a fair amount of money from 90 Day Fiancé. So how much did the network pay them?

A source close to the production revealed to Life & Style Magazine the amount TLC pays to the reality stars.
The source said, “90 Day Fiancé pays their American cast members $1,000 to $1,500 per episode. Even if a person is able to land a spot on the spinoff 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Their pay doesn’t go up much more.”
However, for their new show Darcey and Stacey, the twins likely made quite a bit more cash.
Most sources state that TLC pays cast members about $15,000 per season, but given that Darcey and Stacey carry their reality series (in contrast with 90 Day Fiancé where they're simply two of many cast members), odds are, their paychecks have grown significantly.
How Much Are Darcey And Stacey Worth?
While many may think that all those cast members of the show are making bank from appearing on the reality TV series, that’s not the case. As for Darcey, she is considered as one of the top-earning 90 Day Fiance stars, along with other casts such as Anfisa Nava, Michael Jessen, and David Murphey.
But even before Darcey and Stacey became famous, they held their own in the financial department. They do, however, make a lot of money from their own business ventures. They founded their label, House of Eleven, back in October 2010. Their brand to this day has been worn by a number of A-list celebrities including Demi Lovato, Jeannie Mai, and Jessica Alba, to name a few.
They launched the brand as a tribute to their late brother, Michael, who passed away in 1998. Aside from their clothing line, they are also in charge of Eleventh Entertainment, their own production company. This has allowed them to executive-produce comedies such as White T in 2013.
The pair also went on to pursue their singing career in 2018 with two singles. The first song, Lock Your Number, has over 22,000 streams on Spotify. So it is no wonder how the twins were able to amass a whopping combined net worth, which is estimated to be $6 million.
