They have business property that they rent out, that was purchased when Jim Bob sold real estate. They also have a used car sales company that Josh runs.

In addition, it is estimated that they get between $40,000 to $60,000 per episode of 19 Kids and Counting on TLC.
The Duggars owned some Commercial real estate, they also owned a towing company and auto-body but sold it in the 1990's and began investing in commercial real estate and traveling, making money giving talks at different Christian organizations and homeschooling conventions. They also believe in not living beyond ones means which has allowed them to set aside great deals of money and invest it. They were very wealthy even before the reality show.

Opinions from various WikiAnswerers

• My favorite Gosselin Kid is Aaden! He is just adorable with his little glasses/spectacles and the things he said. Mady is my least favorite, because she is bratty.
• In my opinion, I also think Aaden is one of my favorites. Him and Leah. They are both so cute. Especially Aaden, when he is confused. He just runs around and doesn't really do much. ADORABLE! Leah is small, cuddley, polite and kind.
• I neither like to pick favorites, but my two favorites are Leah and Collin. Leah is tiny, sweet and kind. Collin is stubborn and kind. Collin makes me laugh!! [sometimes]
• I DON'T LIKE TO PICK FAVORITES!! I LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THE GOSSELINS!
• In my opinion Cara- shes nice, loving, gental, athletic, pretty and the chillist of them all. That's probably why Cara and Jon get along so well. She's AWESOME!!!
• I love all eight Gosselin kids, but if I had to pick favorites I call Alexis faith!! Lexi is unique in her family and is so funny! I love this Wild Child!!!

They do. Just like everyone else. They get in the water and paddle.
