Spoiler, Speculation and Social Media

[lookeyloo]

I guess for me it is that we really have no idea how much money/income/bills etc. they have.  Fun to speculate but we could be close to reality or way far off.  

[precious pupp]

We do know Kody and Robyn spend like there's no tomorrow.  I believe that's a fact, and there's plenty of evidence telling us that.

All I know is I wouldn't sleep well, owing that huge sum, and only speculating that the TV show will go on and on forever.

[Irate Panda]

For supposedly being broke, Kody and Robyn sure seemed to get approved for awfully big loans.   I can’t wait to see the new house’s makeover with purple comforters, purple carpet, purple drapes,  Precious Moments figurines, and wall art featuring SADKRABs

 
 

         
 

It will probably be seen on the show in 2052, if they keep the same pacing.

In his tiny little pea brain I am certain that Kootie believes he is endlessly fascinating and that we, his adoring public, will be clamoring for show renewals until the end of our natural lives.

I fucking love, Love, LOVE, L.O.V.E. that Christine and Janelle are doing media together and are so happy without Kotex and Sobbyn in their lives. I know that every time the Douche sees clips like this, it probably enrages him and Sobbyn has to talk him down from the rafters, and I'm here for it, every single time!

[BAForever]

Kody and Robyn can sit in their new house, decorate it poorly, and enjoy time with the tenders and (maybe) Day'unAuRoaraBrianna. The 3 OG wives are going to travel, enjoy grandkids and move on with their lives happily. Yeah, it sucks especially for Janelle with the money, but living well is the best revenge, and the original 3 are doing that. 

[Absolom]

Can we believe Solomon recently turned 13?  They've been on TV what seems like forever now.  Ariella will be 9 in January! Surely she's given up the pacifier by now.  Aurora is 22 and hopefully finding her path in life and working her way to independence from her toxic mother.

Yeah, but isn't that if you only have one mortgage? If they still owned the old "mansion" and CP and still had mortgages on them they might need a higher income unless they put at least one of them on the market and got the bridge loan.

They've done something shady to get this new house. My guess is that they got an equity loan or a bridge loan on the previous house for the 20% downpayment on the new $2,1000.000 house. If it is correct that they put the new house in some sort of trust that a law suit can't touch Meri and Janelle are screwed. If the old house doesn't sell Kody will let it go into foreclosure because there is no equity left. This financial mess is what happens when dumb women trust a corrupt amoral man to take charge of their finances. He ends up with his one prize wife living in a multi million $ home while they rent apartments and houses. And as Janelle keeps reminding us she has no estate. The time for Janelle to go after Kody for the money that she "gave" to him and Robyn to purchase the first million $ house  was years ago when she noticed money flowing out of the family savings account to finance Robyn's spending habit.  I have a feeling that Kody has managed to "bankrupt" himself to get Robyn the new 7800 square foot mansion just so that he can claim he has no money left to repay Meri and Janelle is there really is a law suit.

Janelle now has ‘an estate’.  She bought land in NC with Caleb and Maddie.  I’m sure a house ( or double-wide trailers) will be coming eventually.  The show is so far behind that I think Janelle has gotten something from Kody even if it wasn’t  all she was owed. 

[65mickey]

Did they pay cash for this land? From what I read it is undeveloped land with no utilities and a dirt road.  Shades of Coyote Pass. I hope they know what they are in for with starting a flower farm. It takes a lot of hard work and energy and I'm sorry Janelle doesn't give off had work and energy vibes. I wish them well but if I were Janelle after the Coyote Pass fiasco I would not have invested a lot of money in this enterprise.

Yup, I know, I've already posted about 4 times in at least 2 different threads about the probability of them getting a bridge loan. It's true that if they don't sell the properties they might go into foreclosure but the bank will get the property which at least will pay off the bridge loan. I wonder how long they have to sell the property, though. I don't know details like that about bridge loans. Knowing him, he has more up his sleeve. I too have been wondering what part getting himself maxed out on credit and then declaring bankruptcy might have to do with his scheme to avoid repaying the other wives.

Hopefully yes, but doubtful.  She mentioned not too long ago that she was considering hiring a lawyer to get her money back. Also, based on what we have seen and heard so far, Kody's getting crazier by the day. I have no doubt that his warped brain tells him he doesn't owe Meri, Janelle, Christine or Truely anything.

Finally had a look at that new amazing mansion. Not overly impressed with its interior, it won't be to everyone's taste. Fortunately, R&K don't have any taste anyway, so problem solved. What's with all those balconies btw? (Yeah I know, open landings...) It gives me odd Romeo and Juliet vibes. 

I noticed there's a guest house...a coincidence? Suddenly our prediction of Robyn wanting to keep her kids close becomes scarily real!

Kody and Robyn can’t pay one huge mortgage, much less two. In fact, I don’t see how they can pay one relatively modest mortgage.

Someday the Brown family financial house of cards is going to come toppling down…

Someone with real estate knowledge can weigh in, but I think it's pretty common to take a property off the market if it hasn't sold for 30 days. I think you then re-list, perhaps at a lower price and maybe with a different agent? I can't quite remember from when I sold my house but I think the initial contract with my seller's agent was 30 days so there was an incentive to sell it quickly.

They probably do make about that combined, with the show.  Although who knows how much reality pays.

Yeah I was thinking that too, although I'm no real estate expert. They may be waiting it out for a while until there's a new crop of buyers. It tends to happen when the property is overpriced. They think it will be more attractive at their high asking price if it looks like a new listing,  although there are ways of finding out its history and if it's been listed before. Some will take their properties off the market for the Winter because it's slow anyway, but if they need to have a house on the market to get a bridge loan that wouldn't make any sense. Maybe they took the bridge loan out on Coyote Pass and decided to rent out the "mansion" for now?

[LilyD]

We actually took our house off the market for a few weeks about 7 years ago. Did some interior tweaks (rearranged furniture and got a few new bits in) relisted it again for 10k less and sold it quickly.

We also had a bridge loan for the new house. The main requirement  was enough equity in the old house, income was 2nd to that. Such a loan is only meant for a very short period and I suppose different money lenders have their own terms...

[smarty]

What do you suppose the land out at Coyote Pass is worth these days?  Houses in Flagstaff have almost doubled in price since 2018 but have land prices also increased that much?

Given they've had (I think) 2 home equity loans or whatever you call it, I'd be surprised if the She Ra Chateau has much equity left in it to use as financial leverage.

They were never married. If this custody/ child support filing was part of a legal divorce it would apply because it would be considered shared assets.

 

A particular Youtube person did not have any official documents at her disposal. She showed standard paperwork. Just like she said Kody was countersuing Christine. He was responding to the filing which is required, it wasn’t a lawsuit.

My theory - it will be Kody's space. Remember, he wanted to build his own house on the CP property... and I think Robyn is tired of having him in her house all the time. More wall space for the paintings plus a place to put Kody? It was a total win-win for her.

Where I live, there is a property history listed on the internet listing.  The history tells the price and date of all the listing and sales.  It will show what this house was listed for and what it sold for.  Or it will say "taken off the market".  It would be interesting to see how many times this house has been resold, and if others have had to take it off the market and then relist it.

Zillow lists all of this.  Plus the environmental hazards of the area.

[General Days]

I think it's possible that the guest house could either be for Dayton, for Robyn's mom, or for Kody's mom.

 

It's not for the Meri, because it's not the barndominium. 

[Irate Panda]

 I know we give Kody a hard time, and we all think Kody only cares about SADKRAB, but did ever occur to anyone that Kody is just trying to nurture the longest and most LOYAL relationship he’s ever had?  We all giggle, but he HAS been her best customer! 

I mean if purchasing a 2 million dollar home for the only one that has TRULY been there for you, day in and day out for DECADES, is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. I don’t think it’s wrong to show her how much you appreciate her and pamper her.  I mean he’s still working out the details on getting her in and out of the house, 

 

 

 

but unlike the OG 3 and even Robyn, this little beauty doesn’t seem to care whether this patch of land has water.  She’s going to enjoy her pool 😊

 

and for those questioning the guest house, it’s for the spirit u-hauls that have yet to be manufactured to house Robyn’s cherished teddies and precious moments that were rudely jostled and traumatized when the OG 3 crammed them in their dilapidated, bald tire having, duct taped mini-vans instead of allowing them to ride comfortably in a rose gold convertible with a balding father of 17.  The DISLOYALTY!  

Even though I don’t like to gossip, I’m pretty sure Janelle’s boot lamp told the teddies they would NEVER be part of the family and Meri’s soup can Thanksgiving decorations called the Precious Moments figurines DUST COLLECTERS! I’m not even going to get into what Christine’s mock tapioca said to Robyn’s lasagna.  It’s just too painful! That boot,soup can, and pudding MADE Kody HATE them! 

Also, I think we are all ignoring the pink elephant in the room. Christine exaggerates saying Kody NEVER came around.  He was there at least 4 or 5 times a DECADE.  He’d spent all day primping his hair using his curly girl scrunch method, only to walk into Christine’s house to find person after person after person combing, brushing,and flinging their thick luxurious hair! A man or in this case Kody could only take so much! A knife to the kidneys…more like a hot roller to the eyesight. Poor poor Kody 😔

I maintain my suspicion that Kody has at least one wealthy benefactor  from whom he receives generous support.  I have no proof, but have suspected it for years due to his decisions and lifestyle. While he may be appalling now, he’s previously demonstrated a certain degree of charm. 🙄 One famous benefactor was the late Bunny Mellon.  I don’t suspect her, but someone who finds him appealing.  I see no other explanation for the assets.  Even considering the debt.

I remembered that last year, I read that the Browns had already paid off Coyote Pass, so I searched on "coyote" in this thread and found a conversation leading to this from almost a year ago.

Whatever Kody and Robyn's financing situation is regarding their new home, it seems likely that Coyote Pass would be counted among their assets, not their debts. And like someone said up-thread, they could get a bridge loan on the McMansion, to be paid off when they sold it.

@ginger90 — do you know when Coyote Pass was paid off?

- Is this the reason for the SADKRAB entertainment LLC? So they can monetize the adult kids appearances, and purchase things under this company or a similar trust? While keeping it separate from K & R's personal income, so that it can't be touched by any ex-wives?

 

 

That Kody and Robyn named their LLC "DABSARK Entertainment LLC" does not mean that Dayton, Aurora, Breanna, Solomon, and Ariella are members of the LLC.

Only Kody and Robyn are listed on a state of Arizona Corporation Commission website. Kody and Robyn just used everyone's initials to come up with a name. That's all. 

 

 

DABSARK was created in May of 2022.

Prior to that, all the Brown parents together had one LLC — Kody Brown Family Entertainment (KBFE). I think every time they moved to a new state, they had to start a new LLC in that state. I don't know if they specifically dissolved/reformed KBFE after Christine left, or if the final dissolution of KBFE and the creation of DABSARK happened then.

Traditionally, the none of the kids (or other people who appear on the show) have gotten paid, and some of the kids have confirmed this in the past. The kids who got married on the show did get money toward their wedding budgets.

I suspect Tony and Mykelti could be getting paid for this season. I haven't heard that. I just think it's likely, because we have seen so much of them.

On the other hand, they could just be doing the show for free to help Christine, and for the publicity to help Mykelti build up her presence (for her Patreon and her MLM sales). It could also be that Christine just tosses some money her kids' way, when they appear on the show. 

I don't think Robyn's kids are getting paid via the production. They haven't been on the show much — a quick Game Night shoot here, a couch segment interview there. That's it. It could be that Robyn and Kody throw some money their way when they appear, or the kids could just be helping Mom and Dad keep their show. Ditto Christine and Janelle's kids. 

Originally, only the five Brown adults got paid by the show. That money went to the Kody Brown Family Entertainment LLC. Now Kody and Robyn's shares probably go to DABSARK, and the other wives get their shares individually. 

[ginger90]

It was filed as  paid off June 2, 2023.

[ginger90]

As far as the LLCs, Kody Brown Family Entertainment filed for Articles of Dissolution, or it was recorded on 10/08/2023, which is the day after Christine’s wedding. So the two did exist at the same time for quite a while, probably not actively though.

[laurakaye]

I have so many questions that I don't know how to ask, but when the Kody Brown Family's LLC existed, does that mean any TLC money would get distributed there, and then someone - perhaps legal wife Robyn since we know she's so good with bills and such - would distribute it to the other wives?  It's just that none of this makes any sense to me so my only thought is that Kody and Robyn have been skimming the family's money for years and keeping more than their share to themselves.

I'm probably way off but I can't wrap my head around their spending habits so my assumption is that something nefarious is going on.  Plus, this is Kody and Robyn we're talking about, so...

I believe it was originally thought (no proof that I know of) that the money was paid into the LLC and then distributed equally five ways - each wife and Kody.  We used to opine that it made no sense that Meri would get a full share of the same amount as Christine and Janelle, who had five more kids each.  And, of course, Kody had no house payments or anything else to pay for except perms and botox.

That LLC was dissolved last year and a new one set up with just Robyn and Kody.  The other wives have their own contracts (and paychecks) directly with TLC, so they don't have to worry about financing Robyn's "artwork" and Precious Moments figurines.  It will be hysterically funny if the current show morphs into "Sisterwives No More," featuring Meri, Janelle, and Christine.  No Kody, no Robyn.

A show needs a villain - some kind of conflict. Some problems, some angst, if you will.

I know everyone hates K&R, but realistically, a show about 3 women in their 50's living normal lives would end up being titled "Yawn City".

These women aren't famous for any outstanding feature or talent they possess - their only claim to fame is that they were all married to the same man.

Look at the episode threads for this season. The vast majority of comments are how much everyone hates Kody, how nuts he is, etc.

While the majority of viewers don't like K&R, their delusions and wacko nonsense is what makes the OG 3 the heroes. Without something for them to fight against, they are about as interesting as watching paint dry.

Have you ever seen a reality show about normal people living normal lives? I haven't.

Me too. Equal work, equal pay, once their jobs became being on a TV show.

I remember lots of discussions about how the money may have been split up back in the days before the show...because back then, they were really scrambling for money. At that time, I thought if Meri took an equal share while having only one child to feed and clothe, that was unfair (IF she did that...I don't think we really even know). And, I might add, if she did take more than her fair share, yes that's partly on her, but who was letting her? It's Kody's fault too, if it happened.

However, once the show came along, my opinion changed because now everyone has enough. No one is going without, no child is having lower quality food or going without new clothes.

Maybe that's not fair of me, but for me there's a difference between everyone struggling together, and everyone living the high life.

I also think this is a big part of the family splitting apart - back in the day, they needed each other. They couldn't just go off to their own mansions and ignore each other. They HAD to work it out.

I thought that it made sense for all the wives to have comparable houses (particularly when they built on the cul-de-sac, but I thought other items should have been budgeted per capita (for example, grocery funds).
