It goes without saying that Amy Roloff is a successful lady. It's been well over a decade since we first met her — and the rest of her family — on Little People, Big World. Since then, her fame and her career have skyrocketed. At this point, Amy is practically a household name, and even though she and ex-husband Matt Roloff are no longer married and she's moved on to create her own life, Amy totally stands on her own — in fact, fans are even rooting for Amy to get her own TLC show all about her!
With how busy Amy always seems, and the success of the show, we have to assume that Amy's bringing in a decent amount of money, but how much? What is Amy Roloff actually worth? Fortunately, it's pretty easy to figure out how she's built her wealth and her empire, thanks to everything she's shared about her life online. Amy is so transparent about her journey — that's one of the things we love most about her.
Read on for Amy's net worth and where all that money comes from. She has so many streams of revenue, from Little People, Big World to the businesses she's started and runs all on her own. It's no wonder that someone with Amy's motivation would become so successful!
Amy Has an Impressive Net Worth
After years of being on reality TV and living as a public figure, it's no surprise that Amy's bank account is likely looking healthy. Although she's never confirmed this number, Celebrity Net Worth estimates that Amy is worth about $4.5 million. Not too shabby at all for this lady who's out there making it all happen.
Spoiler: 'Little People, Big World' Is a Big Source of Income
Of course, Amy's work on Little People, Big World isn't on a volunteer basis. She's bringing home a paycheck, and after 21 seasons, it's not surprising at all to learn that she's most likely making bank. Agents have estimated that reality stars on successful shows pull in between $7,000 and $10,000 per episode after three successful seasons. Since LPBW has been on the air for much longer than that — and is one of TLC's most popular shows — it wouldn't be surprising if she made even more.
Work on Roloff Farms
Amy and Matt might be divorced, but Amy still has a stake in Roloff Farms and its various businesses. There aren't any exact figures available, but the farm has a lot going on through the year, especially during pumpkin season each fall. It's totally possible that her work on the farm has brought in a significant chunk of her wealth.
Cookbook
Some of Amy's money comes to her thanks to the books she's written — including the cookbook she published in 2012 called Short and Simple Fall Recipes.
The book is now out of print and hard to find, but when she first released it, it was pretty darn popular — and Amy continues to cook up a storm.
Autobiography
Amy hasn't just written a cookbook, she's also written her memoir. It's called A Little Me, and it came out in 2019. It's all about her life and her experience living with dwarfism — from the time she was a child all the way to today — and everything in between. This has definitely added to her streams of income.
Divorce Settlement
When Amy and Matt's divorce became final in 2016, they split their assets, which has certainly added to Amy's wealth. According to Radar Online, Amy and Matt equally split their four companies — R6 Productions, Roloff Family Farms, R Pumpkin Productions, and Roloff Properties — and Amy was given full control of her business, Living Large Enterprises. They also split their vehicles, with Amy walking away with her 2013 Ford Escape.
Selling Roloff Farms Property
While it seems like Amy still has a stake in Roloff Farms itself, she sold the property on the farm that she owned back to Matt when she moved out of her house. According to what an Oregon court confirmed to The Sun, Amy sold the 32 acres on the farm that she previously owned for $975,000.
Not too bad!
Website
Part of Amy's revenue comes from her website, AmyJRoloff.com. On the site, she blogs, shares photos of her and her family, shares recipes from her and her children, and much more. We have to imagine that Amy receives all kinds of clicks on her website due to her fame, too.
Merchandise
Amy also sells merchandise on her website, adding to her many, many streams of income. She sells everything — from hats to jewelry, to clothes, to baby onesies. There's also kitchen items like coffee mugs, aprons, and magnets, which is pretty appropriate considering how into cooking Amy is.
Amy's Little Kitchen
From time to time, Amy bakes up treats for Amy's Little Kitchen and sells them online. Over the summers, she makes and sells big batches of fudge, and she's also sold ground coffee roasted in Oregon, where she currently lives. This lady knows how to take her passions and turn them into cash!
YouTube Channel
Yes, in case anyone didn't know, Amy is on YouTube … and she has almost 30,000 subscribers. On her channel, she posts cooking videos, interviews, and vlogs about her life that go behind the scenes of Little People, Big World. Her videos do feature ads, so of course, she's getting a little bit of income there, too.
Motivational Speaker
After everything she's overcome in her life, who wouldn't want to hear Amy speak? On top of everything else she does, Amy is also a motivational speaker. On her website, she details the topics she can speak on — like diversity and inclusion, how she's grown through her strength, parenting, and business. She does in-person speaking engagements and virtual meetings on Zoom.
Always Hustling
Any time we check out Amy's Instagram, we can always see that she's busy promoting herself, her projects, and her merch. Whether she's sharing news that her fudge is back, sharing details about upcoming seasons of LPBW, or filling her fans in on sales she's running on her website, Amy's hustle never stops.
Fiancé's Income May Help
Of course, we have no idea how or if Amy's fiancé, Chris Marek, chips in with the bills, but it's definitely worth mentioning that, on his own, he's also a successful guy. He's a real estate agent in Oregon, so it stands to reason that he has a solid income that he's working with on top of everything that Amy brings in.
All in All, Amy's Quite Successful
Part of Amy's genius is how many different sources of income she has. Even if one ends up running dry, she has a lot of different areas to pull money from. While starring on a reality show has certainly helped, it's easy to see that Amy is a hard worker, and now, she seems to be enjoying the fruits of that labor.
