Donald Trump wants $18 million (£9.9m) per episode to continue appearing in his US reality series The Apprentice, it was reported in the Wall Street Journal Wednesday.
The newspaper says that the rise - from his current $50,000-an-episode salary - is just one of a list of demands the 58-year-old presented to broadcast network NBC earlier this week.
Also on the list of "requests" are additional creative control, better living situations for the contestants and a personal assistant for himself.
The network is expected to give the 58-year-old a pay rise, but nowhere in the region of what he is asking.
