‘Sister Wives’: How Polygamist Kody Brown and His Four Wives Support Their Family of 23

Ask any average American who’s been kept up at night: It’s downright expensive to keep a roof over the family’s heads and pay for food, clothing, and dozens of other expenses. Now imagine doing that for four families at once. That’s what Sister Wives polygamist Kody Brown does.

Here we’ll list ways he and his four wives support their brood of 18 kids. We’ll also share some financial hardships the TLC reality stars have faced along the way. See how they make most of their money (page 6) as well as the horrific accident that resulted in a major medical bill (page 8).
