‘1000-Lb. Sisters’ Net Worth: Find Out How Much Money Amy and Tammy Slaton Make
TLC introduced fans to Amy Halterman (née Slaton) and Tammy Slaton from Dixon, Kentucky, on the reality series 1000-Lb. Sisters in 2020. The show follows two siblings trying to support each other amid their respective weight loss journeys. The show’s popularity has only continued to grow, and with season 6 premiering in October 2024, fans are eager to know how much the duo is earning in their paychecks.
What Is Amy Slaton’s Net Worth and How Does She Make Money?
The mom of two reportedly has a net worth of around $250,000, per Market Realist. In addition to her TV appearances, Amy has a growing YouTube channel that she often posts to with more than 538,000 subscribers. The reality star also does Cameos, which are personalized messages for fans, at $68 per message.
Although neither Amy nor Tammy have disclosed how much they earn per episode of the show, it’s speculated the figure could be relative to other stars on the small screen.
“For those docu-ensembles, especially if they’re nobodies, per episode it ranges from low-end, like $1,500 an episode, to $3,000 at the high end,” Business Insider reported. “And then after three years of success, it can go up to $7,000 to $10,000 an episode. After that, you start moving into the Kardashian level.”
Are Amy Slaton and Michael Halterman Still Together?
After weeks of split rumors, Amy’s husband Michael Halterman filed for divorce on March 13, 2023, nearly four years after the duo tied the knot, In Touch confirmed. Their date of separation was listed as February 24, 2023. The pair share son Gage, whom they welcomed in November 2020, and son Glenn, whom they welcomed in July 2022. In the court documents, Michael was listed as not currently employed. The paperwork also stated that Amy is “not believed to be employed.”
What Is Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth and How Does She Make Money?
According to multiple reports, Tammy has an estimated net worth of $100,000. It is theorized her earnings are less due to having a smaller YouTube following than Amy with nearly 150,000 subscribers on the video sharing platform.
Like her sibling, Tammy has shown off her impressive weight loss journey on all six seasons of the show and has dropped more than 500 pounds since beginning her health journey.
“The progress of getting approved for surgery wasn’t easy. I worked my butt off,” she told Us Weekly in February 2023. “I was starving a lot of the time and my hard work paid off.”
In a teaser for season 6, premiering on TLC on October 8, 2024, Tammy is seen visiting a doctor to discuss the removal of her excess skin.
“Amy’s got thinner and she’s comfortable with her own body. But I don’t feel that way because of my excess skin,” Tammy told the cameras. The doctor informed her that the “head to toe loose skin” she was carrying would “take several operations and several healing phases.”
Tammy was concerned with the doctor’s recommendations and said in a confessional interview that she was “afraid that I won’t get approved for skin removal.”
