‘Welcome To Plathville’ Plath Family Broke, Where Did The Money Go?
Many Welcome To Plathville family members have talked about being “broke” on the show. However, with the family TLC show just wrapping Season 6, many viewers question where all of the money has gone, as well as if the cast members are lying about their finances.
Welcome To Plathville: TLC Pays Big Bucks For Popular Shows
When you have a popular show on TLC, this also comes with a big paycheck. It’s a big reason why so many people want to stay with the network as long as possible. The more seasons there are, the longer the TLC checks come rolling in.
Welcome To Plathville just aired the Season 6 finale. While this TLC show has not been on as long as some others, there’s still potential to take home some sizable network paychecks.
Typically, for a show that has been on for years and has a loyal viewer base, TLC forks over 10 percent of the production budget. This comes out to roughly a $25k to $40k payout per episode. Considering that most seasons have 10 or more episodes, the potential to stack money is absolutely there.
Plath Family Members Claim That They Are ‘Broke’
There have been several instances in Welcome To Plathville scenes where family members have said they are broke, or, they wished they had more money for this or that.
On the one hand, the Plath family does have a lot of family members. So, depending on how many ways the TLC checks are split, that would dwindle the amount for each individual family member.
In 2023, InTouch noted that Barry Plath and Kim Plath had a combined net worth of roughly $3M. The outlet also noted that Ethan Plath and Olivia Plath had an estimated net worth of $500k. These numbers likely changed since both pairs split, but, those are still sizable amounts.
At the time, Micah Plath’s net worth was somewhere in the $100k range, and Moriah Plath had an estimated net worth between $1M to $5M. Even if those numbers are generously exaggerated, many viewers absolutely do not believe that anyone in the Plath family is hurting for cash.
Welcome To Plathville: Fans Don’t Think Money Struggles Are Legit
When you consider having a successful show on TLC, along with things like large social media followings and various brand partnerships, most Welcome To Plathville fans don’t believe that anyone in the family is actually broke. Recently, viewers had a lot to say about this.
- One commenter said: “Sounds sketchier than a pad of paper and a sharpened pencil. These people are not poor.”
- Another Welcome To Plathville fan said: “they are definitely lying, they are not poor.”
- A third commenter said: “I don’t think they’re really broke at all. They have had 6 seasons of their own show, and like you said, they have rental properties. Each season, their TLC pay has increased. I’m assuming everyone gets paid separately except the minor kids. I wouldn’t be surprised if Moriah was broke. She’s young and irresponsible.”
