The '7 Little Johnstons' Family Likely Makes an Impressive Amount of Money With Each Episode

Season 14 of TLC's 7 Little Johnstons offers a rare glimpse into the latest adventures of the Johnston family, including a pregnancy journey and relationship struggles.

Trent, Amber, and their five kids — Jonah, Anna, Elizabeth, Alex, and Emma — obtained incredible popularity thanks to their compelling life story. Their salary likely reflects their success as well. So, how much do they earn per episode?

Some reality TV show stars likely make $25,000 to $40,000 per episode. As Terence Michael, a successful television producer who worked on programs like I Can Make You Thin With Paul McKenna and Planet Primetime, told E! News in 2009, reality TV show stars earn about 10 percent of the budget a TV show is allocated per episode.

The article focused on the Duggar family, estimating that they earned somewhere between $25,000 to $40,000 for each episode of 18 Kids and Counting. But what about the Johnston family? Does Terence's rule apply to them as well?

Unfortunately for fans, the stars of 7 Little Johnstons are yet to disclose further details about their income. Nonetheless, many believe that they are in a similar income bracket as the Duggars.

The Johnston family has a few assets, indicating that they can afford to live comfortably. Trent and Amber bought a 3,660-square-foot home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms in Forsyth, Ga., for which they reportedly paid $417,000. The lavish home is surrounded by 10 acres of land. It's understood that it also has a pool.

When the series began back in 2015, the family was living in Barnesville, in a farmhouse that they spent years renovating before deciding to move. They purchased the aforementioned Forsyth home in 2017.

In addition to their appearances on 7 Little Johnstons, Trent and Amber also hold daytime jobs. Trent previously worked at a local college as a grounds supervisor and handyman, though viewers saw him leave that job in Season 10. He went on to start working as a car salesman. Meanwhile, Amber works as a computer lab teacher at an elementary school.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Jonah has been working in automotive sales. Anna has her own accessories business called Fizz4Passion. Elizabeth is a nurse as well as a talented artist, and sells her pieces on Shopify. Meanwhile, Alex and Emma are finishing up high school, but they both sell their own creations online as well — Alex sells paper art on Etsy, and Emma sells jewelry on her website Emma's Rings 'n Things.

The combined net worth of the family is thought to be between $1 million and $5 million, as per outlets like TV Overmind. The Johnstons are yet to disclose further details, however, and it's best to take these estimates with a pinch of salt.
