What does Matt Roloff do for a living?
Per a 2016 report in Business Insider, TLC reality TV stars earn anywhere between $1,500 and $3,000 per episode of the shows they film for the network. With this info, In Touch recently estimated that Matt is likely earning somewhere between $60,000 and $120,000 for each season of Little People, Big World. However, the official details of his salary for the show haven’t been released to the public.
The farm is another money-making venture that takes up a lot of Matt's time. Matt, who became the sole owner of the family farm in 2020, also successfully transitioned part of it into an amusement park. The amusement park comes fully packed with attractions and rides for other families to enjoy. According to In Touch, about 30,000 guests visit the property annually.
In recent news, his ownership over Roloff Farms has become a touchy subject. In a recent episode of LPBW, Matt and his adult sons have butted heads over placing a portion of the farm up for sale.
Part of the farm is currently up for grabs at $4 million. Matt has become increasingly upset at his children, mistakenly believing that they would keep the farm in the family.
"A lot of people say that I told the kids they would inherit this property," Matt discusses in a confessional, per The Sun. "I never said anybody would inherit it. I always said that hopefully, we could keep this as a legacy."
He's even gone so far as to say that his children have become "a bunch of little monsters."
