Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald have multiple income streams
Jessa Duggar and her husband, Ben Seewald, are quite possibly the most popular Counting On cast members. The couple makes money through multiple sources, and they have a high net worth for people in their 20s. According to Hollywood Gossip, Jessa and Ben's finances are on solid ground, as the couple's net worth is $400,000.
We don't know exactly how much Jessa and Ben earn for Counting On, but reality TV producer Terence Michael told E! News, "If TLC budgets about $250,000 to $400,000 per episode... that would mean $25,000 to $40,000 in the Duggars' pockets for four or five days' work, which is roughly how long it takes to film a typical episode."
Like the other adult Duggar siblings, Jessa and Ben earn a tidy sum of money from the TLC reality series. Jessa probably brings in substantial cash as a social media influencer; she has 2.2 million Instagram followers and over 140,000 subscribers on her Jessa Seewald YouTube channel. Ben is out of school and can work as an ordained pastor, which adds another revenue stream to the Seewald family bank account.
