How Do the ‘Alaskan Bush People’ Make Their Money?

Billy was a regular fixture on the hit reality series before dying from a seizure at the age of 68. During his lifetime, the outdoorsman was also the author of over fifty books. Some of the most famous include One Wave at a Time, published in September 2007, and The Lost Years, released in January 2009.

Due to the popularity of the show, not only was the family able to live in Los Angeles for a few months while mom Ami battled advanced lung cancer, but they also purchased nearly 500 acres of land in Tonasket, Washington. It was reported that Billy bought the land, which sits on a 4,000-foot-high mountain, for $415,000 — and fans were puzzled by the purchase.

“@Discovery you have great shows, but I wish you’d stop playing the people as poor …” a fan once tweeted, while another added, “That moment in your life when you know you’re never gonna make as much money as Alaskan Bush People and it hits hard.”

Not only that, but Joshua also has a Cameo account. On his account, the reality TV star charges $40 for a personalized video and $280 for a business video.
