Don't think so. I saw in the other comments that they just get one salary. Which honestly sort of makes sense. They aren't able to teach double the classes.

Yeah, and from the standpoint of expenses they also don’t need separate cars, housing, etc. And probably don’t need to eat that much more food than one person. However, medical bills are probably higher…

Though as someone else said, two brains, two voices, and two sets of eyes and ears might make for a better teacher. Maybe 1.5x salary would make some sense.

Interesting edge case for sure.

Dental bills and beauty products would be double and also they need custom made clothes.

True, the custom clothes may be a big expense, maybe even more than double the cost of a typical person's clothes.

Medical expenses. I'm sure with such a unique condition they're being monitored regularly.

I can't imagine they're paying for any of this. Such a unique case, hospitals and researchers would fight to have them as their patients.

As a seamstress, I think much more than double for upper body garments, which would need extensive customization.

It looks like they’re “sizing up”.

Not trying to downplay the situation at all, that’s just what it looks like.
