Elizabeth "Libby" Potthast Castravet and Andrei Castravet are known in the 90 Day Fiancé franchise for having their hands deep in Libby's father’s pockets.

In all fairness, Chuck Potthast seems to have a soft spot for her and, arguably, all of his kids, but the requests for money from him seem to keep rolling in, no matter how long Elizabeth and Andrei are married.

However, there are now rumors circulating that Chuck might not have as much money as he once had.

So, what is his net worth — and is he struggling financially?

So, what is Chuck Potthast's net worth on '90 Day Fiancé'?

Chuck owns and runs his own real estate business. Apparently, he maintains some properties in the Tampa, Fla. area where he lives, because Libby has managed some of his properties on and off through the years.

Then, on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? Season 4, he offered up one of his properties for Libby and Andrei to live in rent-free.

Clearly, Papa Chuck has done well for himself in the past.

It looks like Chuck owns CMP Capital Investments, LLC. While Chuck’s actual net worth isn't public, the average annual salary of a real estate executive in the United States is more than $240,000. Considering the fact that he owns his own businesses, his annual income could be even more.

And if Libby and Andrei’s net worth is $1 million, as reported by ScreenRant, then Chuck’s is obviously much higher than that.

Is Chuck from '90 Day Fiancé' broke?

In Season 9 of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? it was revealed that Andrei lost $75,000 in an investment property in his home country of Moldova — and hid the financial disaster from his wife Libby.

Chuck was there to call out his son-in-law for his bad business decisions, but Chuck might have his own money problems to worry about.

In an Instagram post shared by 90 Day Fiancé News and Memes, an alleged ex of Chuck claimed that the reality dad is "broke" and spending what money he has left on "h--kers."

"He can't afford ANYTHING... his son Dan lives with him and helps him," the woman named Charity wrote to the outlet. "When they got back from filming in Moldova, the kids put him in a detox center/ rehab."

She went on to allege that Chuck is unable to drive due to a recent DUI.

"I had enough of him when he asked me to pay for that h--ker," she added. "He called me over and over to try to clean that mess up but that didn't work."

Yikes.

But how much do '90 Day Fiancé' stars make?

Aside from making money in his company, surprisingly, Chuck might not be making money from being on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?

Chris Thieneman, who appeared as a guest cast member on Season 5 as David Toborowsky’s best friend, spoke out about receiving no compensation for his time on the show.

According to Radar, the stars of 90 Day Fiancé can make anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 per episode. The supporting cast, however, including Chuck, may not make much, if anything at all.

There is the off chance that, because Chuck has been with the show for multiple seasons as Elizabeth’s dad, he may have struck a deal to receive a paycheck.

But right now, it looks like his only income is from his business, or whatever is left of it.
