The answer to that is simply no - in fact, some are even left out of pocket for being on the show. Contestants have to pay for their own ingredients to practise at home, which can work out quite expensive.
Former Bake Off presenter Sandi Toksvig revealed this can actually leave some of the bakers a bit short.
She told the Radio Times: "These [the bakers] are not wealthy people.
“To some of them, just buying the ingredients to practise at home has pushed them to the limit in terms of their finances."
She added: "Maybe that’s not something that gets talked about.”
And the winner doesn't receive a cash prize either.

Nadiya won back in 2015 and has since gone on to host her own TV shows, has a monthly column in The Times and even created Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday cake. With an expected net worth of over £3 million, she has released six books since winning The Great British Bake Off.
The comedian shocked fans earlier this month by announcing he was quitting the show after three series. He explained that it had become too much of a struggle juggling his various TV commitments. “Farewell Bake Off!” he wrote in a statement.
