Discovery viewers and fans of Alaskan Bush People would like to know how much the family members get paid to do the show and live their lives on camera.
Season 12 of Alaskan Bush People has ended, but the family continues to rough it in the wild of their mountain homestead in Washington State. The entire family claims they live off their land by hunting, fishing, and foraging. The clan consists of patriarch, Billy, 66, wife Ami Brown, 55, and their seven children: Matt, Bam Bam, Bear, Gabe, Noah and daughters, Bird, and Rain.
The outwardly easygoing Brown family from Alaskan Bush People are earning much more than many fans realize. Not only are the family earning a paycheck on each episode, but they also have money coming in from other outlets. According to The Sun, the family's net worth is $60 million. The success of the series has solidified big paychecks for the entire family unit. It was also reported that each member receives a different size paycheck, with Billy being given the most considerable amount at $500,000 per episode. The rest of the family is said to make $40,000 to $60,000 in revenue. Fans will note Matt is no longer receiving a paycheck, as he was let go from the show. Fans may be surprised to learn that, when the family ventured to California for Ami's cancer treatments, they could afford a 2.7 million dollar mansion located in Beverly Hills.
The family has had some significant setbacks, thanks to the summer of wildfires that ruined their mountain retreat. They lost almost all their buildings and had to set their livestock free. Discovery Channel has yet to announce a start date for season 13. There have been numerous rumors that the family is feuding and several siblings have gone their separate ways from their parents. Noah and his wife, Rhain, moved to Colorado, while Bam Bam, who lives with producer Allison Kagan, has nothing to do with his family. Gabe also mentioned that once he got married, he moved off the mountain to be with his wife and new daughter.
Only time will tell if the network feels this family and reality show is worth the money they are paying out, but fans sure think it is and are hoping for another season of the Alaskan Bush People.
