Has Caitlyn Jenner been offered five million dollars by E! for her upcoming docu-series 'I Am Cait'?
A source informed that the American reality star's agent was initially approached by multiple other networks to broadcast her transition story, but nobody wanted to pay the star more than two million dollars, New York Post has reported.
The source further added that the 65-year-old TV personality's agent continued informal talks with other networks, and apparently E! came up with an offer of five million dollars.

A representative of E! said that they would not like to comment on financial matters or the deal they had cracked to telecast Jenner's story on July 26.
