How does the Gosselin family afford to have 8 children?

Answer 1

The Gosselins benefit from sponsors of their reality show "Jon and Kate plus 8" being broadcast on The Discovery Health Channel and TLC. Sponsors and advertisers supplement their income with donations of goods, and travel. Additionally, Jon and Kate Gosselin supplement that income with fees from speaking engagements, books and appearance fees. They have turned "Lemons" into "Lemonade" One WikiAnswerers opinion

They make between $65,000.00 and $75,000.00 per episode and do 20 episodes a year. This being their 5th season (premiere May 25th) would make their "salary"between $6,500,000.00 & $7,500,000.00 to date. Couple those numbers with all the free perks they receive, Kate's book sales profits + speaking engagement fees and you have an extremley wealthy couple.

Answer 2

What she does is she takes deep breathes, and she remembers what her mother has said to her when she found out that she was pregnant with her 8 children. "It may be difficult, but you, Jon, and the whole family will get through the day, knowing that it was a blessing to have this many kids." She makes breakfast, puts them down for a nap, makes lunch, Mady and Cara come home, they all eat, if it nice, they go out to play, then when daddy gets home, they have dinner. They complete each other, and I want them to live happy for the rest of their lives.

Answer 3

She doesn't.
