The source close to Sam and Billie said the huge signing marks a new era for the sisters, after Sam retired from filming Mummy Diaries in 2021.
The podcast covers the sisters’ lives as they negotiate their family life while in the public eye.
The lucrative deal comes as Sam’s brand Revive Collage made more than £13 million in its first three years.
The star’s beauty company specializes in award-winning ready-to-use collagen and is endorsed by celebrities including Oti Mabuse, Paloma Faith and Amanda Holden, who is an ambassador for the brand.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Sam is a smart businesswoman. She risked it all by starting the business, especially during the uncertain times of the lockdown.
‘She has made no external investments and built the company from scratch together with her business partner.
“With the company now profitable from day one and launching in the US next month, she is confident of becoming the global market leader in absorbable collagen.
“Although she’s had a few business failures along the way, she’s certainly struck gold with Revive Collagen.”
Sam, the brand’s co-founder, recently flew across the pond in hopes of further expanding the company.
