TLC’s famous Sister Wives is one of the shows that has the highest ratings in the reality TV world. Fans loved to watch the never-ending drama and chaos that came with the Browns and their polygamous dynamics. Apparently, Christine’s daughter Mykelti has also been a part of the show since its initial days. Viewers watched her grow and extend her family.

The star kid has provided a lot of content over the years and has even entertained her viewers. The audience might remember how there was a special segment on Mykelti’s home birth in one of the seasons. Hence, this made the viewers wonder how much TLC actually paid her for all this content!

Mykelti and Tony are active members of Patreon and often make shocking revelations on the platform. Recently, there was a Q&A session in which a curious user asked about their pay from their family show. The fan wondered how much the star kid’s income was because of Sister Wives.

Mykelti was quick to reveal that she wasn’t even paid to film her home birth for the show. She replied, “Technically, Jenny, no.” Though Christine’s noted daughter didn’t elaborate much, she made it clear that there wasn’t a single penny from the TLC cheque that was coming her way!

Sister Wives: How Much Is TLC Paying The Browns For Their Famous Show?

Sister Wives has made the Browns celebrities and has changed their day financially. It became the main source of income and helped Kody in raising 18 kids at some point in his life. Moreover, Mykelti also spoke about how their family show ended up changing their lives financially.

She revealed how they used to eat three-day-old loaves of bread because they didn’t even have money to buy groceries. Hence, Mykelti confessed that there was a point when the Browns were dirt poor until they got the show from TLC! This made the viewers wonder how much the network was paying the Browns for their highest-rated show.

As per many reports, TLC pays Kody, Meri, Janelle, Christine, and Robyn Brown between $25-$40K per episode. Before the divorce dynamics, this amount used to go directly to the family account. All the adults had access to this bank account.

Usually, each season has around 12-16 episodes. Hence, there is a fair chance that with each edition, the Browns were earning between $300K to $400K because of their family drama.

Even some reports have revealed that the noted family had made about $ 4 million from the show’s 18 seasons! Yet it is unclear why Mykelt wasn’t paid from this hefty amount!
