‘7 Little Johnstons’ Trent And Amber Faking Money Woes For Views?
7 Little Johnstons fans recently called out Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston for faking money woes for views on the show. So, what do TLC watchers have to say about it?
7 Little Johnstons: TLC Has Highlighted Money Woes Before
Over the years in 7 Little Johnstons scenes, TLC has made a big deal about money when it comes to the Johnston brood. Whether it was Trent leaving his job a few seasons ago, or Liz Johnston worrying about how she was going to pay rent after Brice Bolden moved out, TLC has made it a point to highlight money woes.
When Trent quit his job, Amber even said in a 7 Little Johnstons confessional that this was the first time that Trent resigned from a job without having something else lined up. So, there have been numerous instances where the topic of money has come up.
Trent Johnston And Amber Johnston Aren’t Hurting For Cash
The reality is, the 7 Little Johnstons family isn’t hurting for cash. TLC pays them anywhere from $25k to $40k per episode. With ten or more episodes per season, that’s no small chunk of change whatsoever. When you add to this the amount of seasons the show has had on the air, all of those Benjamins stack up big time.
Based on the latest numbers, 7 Little Johnstons husband and wife, Trent Johnston and Amber Johnston, have an estimated net worth between $2.5 to $4M. This is more than enough to sustain a comfortable, and even lavish lifestyle, especially when all of their children have either found or are starting to find their own way. The bottom line is, Trent and Amber won’t be pinching pennies anytime soon.
7 Little Johnstons Family Faking Money Problems To Be More Relatable To Audiences?
Some 7 Little Johnstons fans think Trent and Amber fake their money worries in TLC scenes in order to be more relatable to audiences. Despite their money in the bank, many fans believe they are purposely trying to portray a blue-collar image to get a bigger demographic in terms of viewers.
They certainly shoot for the image of the typical American family. Appearing like that, and checking that specific box could certainly be strategic. Most American families don’t have $2.5 to $4M just sitting in a bank account, especially not while also raising five kids to adulthood.
- One 7 Little Johnstons fan said: “I feel like it’s just part of the whole plot line. Let’s make everybody think we’re the average struggling family who work hard.”
There have been some holes in this narrative, as one fan spotted Jonah with a $20k watch. Or the fact that Anna Johnston was already able to buy her own home in her early 20s.
Still, the blue-collar image that Trent and Amber portray seems to be working for them. When you’re on Season 14 of your family reality show after almost ten years, you must be doing something right.
