In homes earning $150,000 and more, ABC’s the Bachelor was the most watched show outside of sports.
This might a surprise to people who consider The Bachelor, as a “hook-up-in-a-hot-tub” show but, it still ranks as one of the most watched television series for rich people You would assume that ABC’s venture capitalist reality series, Shark Tank, or ABC’s lawyer/political drama ‘Scandal‘, or even The Amazing Race would be considered a top contender for those making $150,000/year.
In fact, according to Deadline, The Bachelor, “does a 111% higher rating in 150K+ homes than it does in regular demo ratings.”
Check out the top 10 most watched TV shows that rich people watch:
1. The Bachelor
2. The Good Wife
3. The Bachelorette
4. 60 Minutes
5. Modern Family
6. Community
7. Parks and Recreation
8. Parenthood
9. Nashville
10. Shark Tank
It is interesting to note the type of college educated individuals watch in comparison to those that earn $150k a year. For instance, The Mindy Project ranks number one, and college educated individuals watch less reality TV.
