False Things You Can Stop Believing About The TLC Show

While there is no denying the fact that being on a reality TV show can certainly be a lucrative business, that doesn't mean that everyone on TV solely relies on a paycheck from a network. The Busbys definitely don't, although many people might assume they do. According to E! News, reality show families like the Duggars have made between "$25,000 to $40,000 per episode." That means the Busbys could be making anywhere from $200,000 to $520,000 per season, as most seasons of OutDaughtered have anywhere from 8 to 13 episodes. Clearly, the family makes plenty of money from the show, but, considering they have six kids, that isn't all they do to bring home the bacon. 

As Adam Busby's LinkedIn states, he started working for himself in media in 2018, and a 2019 episode of OutDaughtered showed him landing a pretty great work opportunity. Additionally, Danielle has launched two online retail stores, Graeson Bee Boutique, which sells children's clothes, and CADi Fitness, which sells workout apparel. The Busbys are obviously hard workers, and clearly don't rely on just their OutDaughtered paychecks as their only source of income.
