God I read the recap in people about their 30th anniversary and it made me want to vomit for her. I wish she would leave.

They used to be paid $180,000 per adult per season for 10 years. Then reduced it to $180,000 for all the adults per season. Now it's 10% of the episode budget for all the adults (about $25,000-$40,000 per episode).

PP and I predict that following the Aging Egomaniac Handbook, Cody will soon start wearing hats in every on camera appearance

I just can't with that hair and the same blue button down.

Kody’s insecurities on full display in photo montage above! He is in deep hair-loss denial.

Nice Man Perm!

Shave your head and move on.

I agree. I wish Meri would just go to Utah and run the B&B and make that part of the show. That would surely be more interesting than this. Or maybe focus on the kids a bit more. I feel like we never see them.

Years ago I read somewhere that each wife makes $50K a show. If true, now it would be much more. That was when they were in Vegas.

I don't think it is that much for the whole family. I thought it was something like $25k an episode for all. It's basic cable.

I agree with that but I think they have monetized the show a bit and their personal businesses have seen a lot of success. But they can't make that much because Meri sells an eff ton of Lularoe and no one who's doing awesome is selling Lularoe. I think she's been able to become one of the 1% that makes money because she's a sister wife though. And I think her B&B in utah is doing well. I actually think she brings in probably the most of any wife right now.

I think quite a bit is exaggerated for TV and to remain "entertaining" to get re-uped.

What kind of job does Kody have? How can these people pay for health insurance and college? I faithfully read the Reddit Sister Wives forum as well the spoof podcast called Surviving Sister Wives. I know, I need a life

Before the shows, they survived on welfare, food stamps, etc... More kids more money he gets.

He has no job. Janelle had a job outside the home.

College paid for by the state.

Flagstaff was just to keep the show going and he had someone on the side.

Cody, Meri, and Janelle all worked prior to the show and in the first season.

I love how he's all like, "I don't know if I'd do the whole plural marriage thing again..." but it doesn't stop him from hopping around the SW collecting human souvenirs.

No way does each wife make 50K a show. Maybe the whole family together gets 50K a show.
