How much is Josh Duggar worth?

Josh Duggar’s net worth is a little unclear. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Josh’s net worth is $200,000. That could be because of money he might have earned from being on 19 Kids and Counting for so long combined with possible car dealership earnings from when he worked on the lot.

And now that oldest son Josh Duggar has six kids and another one on the way with wife Anna Duggar, the question of what he does for a living and how he affords his growing family is swirling throughout the fandom. Most of the oldest Duggar sons work for or with patriarch Jim Bob Duggar in a number of the family’s various businesses.

During 19 Kids and Counting, after Josh and Anna got married, they settled into their house in Arkansas where Josh worked on one of the Duggar family car lots. He was a car salesman and, for a while it seemed to suit him just fine.

He and Anna relocated to the area for a little while with their kids and things looked to be on the up and up for the oldest Duggar kid. Then, the scandal regarding allegations that Josh sexually abused some of his younger sisters when they were all minors broke.

When Anna announced on Instagram that she and Josh are expecting their seventh child, some of her followers commented, asking if Josh works. It was likely out of curiosity about the logistics of the couple having another child, given their precarious living situation and the fact that no one really knows what Josh does for a living now.

Josh Duggar’s Job Might Be Rooted in One of Daddy Duggar’s Many Businesses. Once upon a time, everyone in the Duggar family was riding the gravy train of reality TV fame. These days, however, it’s not even clear if the family’s TLC show Counting On is coming back.

What was the oldest job that Duggar had?

Although the oldest Duggar used to work a cushy job as the former executive director of FRC Action (a conservative lobbying group), he was forced to resign in 2015 following his marital scandals. After moving back in with his parents, attending “faith-based” rehabs and laying low, he got a new job in 2017 as a car salesman.

Jim Bob Duggar. Job Status: Commercial real estate agent. The patriarch owns a bunch of commercial properties that he rents for a profit, and the business is pretty lucrative. That said, back in 2018, the state of Arkansas reportedly shut down two of Jim Bob’s businesses for allegedly never filing vital paperwork.

Jinger Duggar. Job Status: Podcast host. At one point in time, Jinger was the only married Duggar without kids, but now she’s the proud mama to daughters Felicity and Evangaline Jo. Although the Duggars have said Jinger is active in photography, she appears to only do it as a hobby.

These days, Derick is back in Arkansas, and he’s currently a law student at the University of Arkansas.

In October 2020, Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, spoke out about the lack of compensation she received from her time on reality TV, claiming she didn’t get any of her earnings until after she left her family’s reality series in 2017.

As for the Duggar women, the ones with children are all stay-at-home moms. Things get a little hazy when it comes to those without kids. Because of the family’s strict religion, women are encouraged to seek traditional roles as housewives and mothers.

The truth is strangely murky. Although Jim Bob Duggar has a successful commercial real estate business — that’s in its fifth generation — the rest of the family either works with him or does sporadic jobs like handiwork, house flipping and missionary work.
