Without a career or college education, Jinger Duggar earns more than most doctors. Her net worth, as a homeschooled, jobless pastor's wife might shock you. It proves how lucrative "19 Kids and Counting" was for the Duggar family. It shows why they were so anxious to get the "Counting On" reality television gig after Josh Duggar's pedophilia, pornography, and adultery scandal. Jinger Vuolo's multi-million dollar assets demonstrate why Josh is so eager to get himself and his growing family back on Reality TV.
Gasp-worthy net worth
Celebrity Net Worth reports that the former "19 Kids and Counting" star is worth $2 million.
How, you are wondering, has an, uneducated, unemployed, 23-year-old netted so much? Part of it is from a book deal. Jinger co-authored "Growing Up Duggar: It's All About Relationships" with her "Counting On" sisters Jana Duggar, Jill Dillard, and Jessa Seewald. But the majority of her wealth was "earned" from reality TV.
Jinger Duggar even richer after incest lawsuit
If Jinger is a millionaire now, just wait until she gets her lawsuit settlement. She, Jill Dillard, Jessa Seewald, and Joy-Anna Duggar Forsyth are suing Arkansas police and officials and In Touch Weekly for leaking (presumably) their names as incest victims of brother Josh Duggar. They are "counting on" cash to compensate for invasion of privacy and embarrassment.
Springdale authorities shamed the "19 Kids and Counting" family for wasting taxpayer money and police time.
Duggar family needs TLC?
When Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar first appeared in "18 Kids" (later "19 Kids and Counting") it was to sing the virtues of Bible simplicity. But high-roller earnings -- thousands of dollars per cast member, per episode -- changed their tune.
Then there are the freebies reality TV brought them. Kate Gosselin admits to milking "Kate Plus 8" for free stuff including plastic surgery. Kate bragged that "Jon & Kate Plus 8" earned her a tummy tuck and other surgical procedures.
Josh Duggar's sex scandal lucrative for family
After bringing "19 Kids and Counting" down in a fiery sex scandal, Josh Duggar can't find work.
He can't support his pregnant wife Anna Duggar plus four kids and counting. Duggar was banned from "Counting On" and the anti-LGBT agency where he worked to ban gays and lesbians from renting or marrying. Even after the incest, pedophilia, porn star mistress, pornography, sex addiction, and cheating on Ashley Madison, dad Jim Bob Duggar wants TLC to let Josh return. The Duggars' popularity escalated after Josh's actions, so maybe a sex scandal was a very good thing for this family.
