Working Woman! Find Out ‘Sister Wives’ Star Janelle Brown’s Net Worth and How She Makes Money
Working woman! While Sister Wives star Janelle Brown is best known for starring alongside her former husband, Kody Brown, and sister wives on the TLC show, she also makes money outside of the reality TV gig. What is her net worth and how does she make money?
What Is Janelle Brown’s Net Worth?
Janelle has an estimated net worth of $400,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
How Much Money Does Janelle Brown Make on ‘Sister Wives’?
Janelle has been starring on Sister Wives since the series premiered in 2010.
While it’s assumed that Janelle and her family earn stable paychecks from the show, it’s not clear how much money she is taking home from each episode.
Reality producer Terence Michael has estimated that reality families earn about 10 percent of a show’s per-episode budget. It’s believed that TLC spends between $250,000 and $400,000 per episode on its shows, which means the Browns take in $25,000 to $40,000. However, the money would have to be split between all of the family members.
It was previously reported in 2019 that the family took a pay cut to keep the show on the air amid low ratings.
How Else Does Janelle Brown Make Money?
Janelle also makes money through her health and lifestyle business, Strive with Janelle. According to the company’s website, she has been a certified health coach since 2019.
“My coaching is all about you – your goals, your challenges, and your needs. I offer personalized plans that are tailored to your lifestyle and preferences, so you can achieve your fitness goals in a sustainable and enjoyable way,” Janelle explains on the website. “Whether you prefer working out at home or at the gym, I will work with you to create a plan that fits your schedule and preferences.”
Additionally, Janelle has teamed up with her former sister wife, Christine Brown, to share wellness advice and products on their joint Instagram account, The Secret to Self Care. One product that they regularly promote via their social media accounts is the health-based brand Plexus.
Janelle is also active on Cameo, where she records personalized videos for fans for $50.
She previously worked as a real estate agent when the family was living in Nevada. However, it is not currently clear if she plans to return to the field.
