Kody Brown Buys Mercedes, Can’t Afford Janelle & Meri Pay Out?
One of the biggest Sister Wives Season 19 storylines has centered around Coyote Pass. Janelle asked Kody Brown to buy her out, but he insisted he couldn’t afford it.
Now, Meri and Janelle have both consulted with lawyers. They want to protect their own interests and they feel concerned Kody will try to cheat them out of their fair share.
But is it possible Kody Brown has been squandering his money, making him unable to pay back Meri and Janelle? See what other fans think might be going on.
Sister Wives Fans Think Kody Brown Made An Extravagant Purchase
After watching the Brown family on TLC since 2010, most viewers have realized Kody Brown doesn’t have the best money management skills. But now that his ex-wives want financial compensation from the sale of Coyote Pass, some think he blew the money on something very unnecessary.

“Previews for upcoming show (Spoilerish)” a Sister Wives viewer posted on Reddit recently. “Have y’all seen the new preview? Looks like Kotex got himself a new luxury convertible. Where is all this money coming from. If he can afford to purchase a new white convertible he can afford to pay off Meri and Janelle.”
Viewers Speculate About The Family Patriarch’s Financial Disarray
In previous Reddit threads, many viewers said they would love to see a forensic accountant go through the Brown family’s finances. But until that happens, no one can say for sure what’s going on with Kody Brown’s bank account.

Sister Wives viewers added their own thoughts, including:
- “I wonder if they know the show is coming to an end and are taking out loans before they won’t qualify. Either that or they are just trying to throw all this in the face of the wives who have left. Or both.”
- “Kody is always dipping into whatever is trending. I bet he’s getting into memecoins or crypto or whatever that stuff is.”
- “Kody and Robyn do not have the financial literacy to understand that depleting the family money means it will run out. They will ONLY have the income Robyn makes ($0) and Kody doesn’t make enough selling gun parts to fund their now multimillion dollar mortgage, multiple car payments for them and their 5 kids, and all their nicknacks and all their credit they likely owe back.”
- “The Mercedes looks like an AMG s-class that was probably around 100k in 2022 if they bought it used. If it was new it could have been about 250k. The $ is coming from the checks Meri and Janelle gave to the property. He emptied the family account. He stole their $$$. That’s how Robyn can buy 60k of dolls and he gets a new Mercedes convertible to replace his white Lexus.”
