Kody Brown

Net Worth: $800,000

Kody Brown’s net worth is reportedly $800,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. It’s not certain what Kody’s actual job is other than being a reality TV star, but he did work in firearms sales.

“I think my dad made decent money, but you have, like, 15 kids. Like, a lot of kids,” Maddie, his eldest with Janelle, recalled on her Authentic Society podcast. “My dad always chose the get-rich-quick scheme, almost always. It was such a foreign thought to [my husband], Caleb. And I remember explaining some ideas to him, and he was like, ‘No, no.’”

However, in Sister Wives, it seemed like Kody was in control of the funds. “All of our money got put into a big, huge fund and we got paid out of that fund. And I always talked to Kody about getting paid,” Christine Brown claimed in a January 2025 episode of the TLC show. “He’s the one who always wrote the check if I needed anything. I told Kody [and] it was Kody who really had the control of the money.”

Meri Brown

Net Worth: $400,000

Kody Brown’s first wife Meri Brown has a net worth of $400,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Before Meri split from Kody, she bought a bed and breakfast in Utah in 2017,

Meri expressed that she needed to find work to support herself and her kids. “I knew that the funds were not there. I just felt like, ‘Well, I’m just going to have to go do it then,’” Meri told Us Weekly in 2019. “So that’s why I got up and I left and I started working, because I knew that I needed to figure it out because it was something important to me.” She’s also a serves as a “trainer” with LuLaRoe.

In a January 2025 episode, she opened up about how she got paid less from Kody. “I paid for Leon’s college [myself] and [the money] went to the majority of the kids’ cars, but not Leon’s,” Meri explained. “I paid the car payments. I really don’t know how much of the family funds actually paid for other kids’ school or cars, but I know that my kid’s school was not taken care of from the family fund. Kody has actually said this — because I only have one child, I am not entitled to an equal portion of the property.”

Janelle Brown

Net Worth: $400,000

Janelle Brown’s net worth is reportedly $400,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. When Coyote Pass shares were split up, Janelle hired a lawyer to help out with costs. In April 2025, she and Meri sold their shares and she’s currently making the move to have roots in South Carolina.

Christine Brown

Net Worth: $400,000

Christine Brown’s net worth is reportedly $400,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. She was the first person to leave her marriage to Kody. She gave her part of the deed of Coyote Pass back to Kody and Robyn for $10. When the property was up for sale for $1.5 million, Christine didn’t want anything to do with the drama after it all.

Robyn Brown

Net Worth: $600,000

Robyn Brown’s net worth is reportedly $600,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. As Kody’s sole wife, Robyn says that money is a hot topic for her. “This is a tough conversation for me,” she said about their spending strategy. “because I’m just like, wait a minute, we worked together for so long and I helped so much with these earlier years. Like for me, it’s like, this feels balanced.”

Kody Brown’s Kids

Kody’s daughter with Christine, Gwendlyn, 23, opened up to Teen Vogue about how the kids were paid on the show.

“The network only paid the parents,” Gwendlyn Brown says of TLC’s Sister Wives. “I’m not sure if they did or didn’t expect the parents to pay us kids, but we weren’t paid.”

Christine ended up paying her kids “a certain amount per day or half-day of camera time,” but “it certainly hasn’t been a fair share.” The mother confirmed that did put money aside for their college and vehicle funds.
