Zach Roloff Left 'Little People, Big World' After Season 25 — What Does He Do For a Living?

Fans of Little People, Big World have watched Zach Roloff appear on the show since he was 13 years old. These days, however, he's married with three children, and is more focused on making a name for himself outside of the show.

During a Feb. 22, 2024 episode of the TV personality's podcast —Raising Heights — with wife Tori, the couple announced they were leaving Little People, Big World after 25 seasons. Naturally, viewers have grown curious as to how Zach and Tori make a living aside from their TLC paychecks. Let's take a closer look at what Zach does for a living.

The father of three previously helped his father Matt Roloff on Roloff Farms by providing guided tours of the property, among other responsibilities — but he's since stopped lending a hand. That's because Zach and Tori moved to Battle Ground, Wash., back in October 2021, following failed negotiations between Zach and Matt over the price of the farmhouse and surrounding acreage.

Previously, Zach coached for competitive youth soccer teams in Oregon. It's unclear whether he has continued to coach in Washington, or whether it was even a paying position. However, it's clear Zach found true pleasure in working with youth soccer players.

In a 2017 interview with retailer Lock Laces, Zach said, "I love seeing the kids come back that I had the previous year, and it feels great that they want to come back and be a part of the same team and have me as a coach again."

In 2018, Zach competed with Team USA in the first ever Copa America Dwarf World Cup and helped America defeat Great Britain in the 2013 World Dwarf Games soccer finals. And in November 2023, he played for the United States Dwarf Futbol Association, and even shared a photo of him and his teammates after a tournament in Argentina.

Over the last few years, Zach has also hosted soccer fundraisers to build awareness for dwarf athletics. "The game has shaped who I am in tons of ways," he shared. "Everything comes back to soccer. It taught me a lot about teamwork and sacrifice … A lot of my life philosophies can be traced back to soccer."

As for Tori, she previously worked as a kindergarten teacher before giving birth to the couple’s son, Jackson, in 2017. Now, she runs her own photography business, which fans can follow on Instagram. It looks like the reality star specializes in family portraits.

Additionally, Tori shares sponsored posts via social media.

The pair are also devoted parents to their three children, who all have achondroplasia dwarfism like their dad. "You have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take them five steps to do what others can do in two," Zach said after his first child Jackson’s birth. "But I knew, dwarf or not, I was going to parent my child with the mentality that not everyone gets a trophy. You have to earn it."

After spending nearly 20 years under the Little People, Big World spotlight, Zach decided it was time to leave the show after 25 seasons. In February 2024, the couple announced on their Raising Heights podcast, which coincidentally launched that same month, "that part of our life that chapter has closed." The couple admitted that "the last cycle was rough between the family and the farm deal" and "it was no longer a project we really believed in.”

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Zach’s net worth is $700,000. As for his LPBW salary, Business Insider estimated that "B" players on cable reality shows generally make between $15,000 and $35,000 per season. Other sources have reported that Zach could make as much as $7,000 per episode.

The longtime TV personality previously stated that he’s just happy to be making an impact. "We have a lot of fans that have gone through serious challenges, too. I think watching our show gives them inspiration by reassuring them that others have to tackle these challenges throughout life," he told Lock Laces.

"They see us on TV and they realize that their families are going through the same or similar struggles that we are. And not just situations related to dwarfism."

Although Zach and Tori's lives won't be showcased in Little People, Big World following Season 25 (though they could make surprise appearances), you can stay connected with them through their engaging podcast.

Watch Little People, Big World on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on TLC and on the Discovery Plus app.
