The mother of octuplets born in Los Angeles last January has signed a 250,000-dollar-agreement for her children to star in a reality television show, The Los Angeles Times reported.
The newspaper said a series of contracts filed with Los Angeles Superior Court specify the children will earn the money over three years.
European production company Eyeworks has inked the deal with Nadya Suleman, the mother of the children. Eyeworks lists "Breaking Bonaduce" and "The Biggest Loser" among its television credits.
Filming is scheduled to start on September 1, the report said.
The toddlers will collectively earn 125,000 dollars for 36 days of shooting in the first year of production, 75,000 dollars for 21 days in the second year and 50,000 dollars for 14 days in the third year, the paper said.
Any extra shooting days will be compensated at the same rate.
The contract also states that 15 percent of the gross compensation will be deposited by Eyeworks into a trust account, and the money will not be touched until the children turn 18, The Times added.
