After 65 football seasons, two television shows, and two movies, the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are finally getting paid.

It seems like the raise shouldn’t put too much of a dent into the wallet of team owner Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are worth an estimated $10.1 billion, making them not only the most valuable team in the NFL, but also the world’s most valuable sports team.

In an interview with the New York Times, former cheerleader Jada McLean provided more details about the raise. In 2024, McLean claims she made around $15 dollars an hour and $500 per game. With the raise, cheerleaders can now make $75 per hour or more, depending on the number of years spent on the team.
