Kody Brown Spent Thousands Of Dollars On Unnecessary Splurges Amid Claims He Was In Debt

•  The Brown family has a history of financial struggles, with multiple bankruptcies and wives needing to support themselves.
•  Robyn Brown brought debt into her marriage with Kody, and she has been largely unemployed compared to the other wives.
•  Kody Brown spends excessive amounts on expensive gifts for some of his children, causing concern among fans about his priorities and financial responsibility.

There are many people and families that struggle with their finances amid a tumultuous economy and the ever-changing events of the world. However, many are able to alleviate some of the strain by making smarter financial choices and eliminating expenses where they are able. In the case of Kody Brown, star of the hit television series Sister Wives, there is speculation that money is tight, but the spending is becoming more and more extreme.

This event isn’t a one-time occurrence. In fact, the Brown family has long struggled to make ends meet and provide for their large brood. However, the majority of the wives have gone on to earn a living independently to resolve these issues for themselves. Unfortunately, Kody Brown has not yet gotten to a place where he can be financially secure with his last remaining wife.

The Brown Family Has Seen Multiple Bankruptcies

Since being married, each of the Brown parents has declared bankruptcy except for Robyn. Kody and Meri Brown filed jointly when they were legally married to one another.

Shortly after, both Janelle and Christine filed for bankruptcy. Because Kody was never legally married to anyone other than Meri and Robyn, he wasn’t required to appear on the court petitions that Christine and Janelle filed.

Although Robyn Brown has never filed for bankruptcy, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t struggle with spending. Gwendlyn Brown stated in a reaction video that both Robyn and her dad have a problem with finances and are consistently spending money frivolously.

The daughter of Kody and Christine Brown reveals that this behavior differs from the other wives in that Robyn is the only one utilizing any of Kody Brown’s money. For many years, the other wives have provided for themselves, as well as both Kody and Robyn.

Robyn Brown Brought Debt Into Her Marriage

While Robyn Brown was previously married and brought three children into her relationship with Kody, that wasn’t the only thing that came along for the ride. According to divorce reports, Robyn allegedly had many credit cards with high balances that she was responsible for when she separated from her ex-husband. These store cards included Victoria’s Secret and Sears.

When confronted by fans, the Sister Wives star reported that she had no choice but to shop at retail outlets like Victoria’s Secret because of her tall frame and long legs.

The option to buy leggings and pants at other stores wasn’t available to her because she needed a specific length and style to accommodate her body, which is only available at Victoria’s Secret or through a service that creates custom clothing.

Although each of the Sister Wives has engaged in outside employment at some point in their marriage to Kody Brown, Robyn has been largely unemployed during the show and marriage compared to the other three.

As the last wife to join the family, she briefly ran a jewelry company. Unfortunately, that operation has fallen to the wayside and has not been open since 2019.

Kody Brown Showered Some of His Children With Expensive Christmas Gifts

There is a lot of anger among fans of the Sister Wives show that some of the Brown children are ignored when it comes to the holidays or when they need medical care, but others are treated with excessive gifts and attention.

Things came to a head when an episode of the popular TLC show aired where the father of 18 gifted only the children he shares with his wife Robyn very expensive gifts.

The presents in question are gas-powered motorbikes that retail for over $800 apiece. With five children between him and Robyn, the purchase of a bike for all of them amounts to thousands of dollars.

With mounting concerns about the future of the show, paying off the family land in Flagstaff, Arizona, and existing debt that the couple is dealing with, it seems to be an irresponsible move to expend resources on frivolous items, especially when they are only intended for a fraction of the family’s children.

While many of the children are grown, and out of the home, such as Mykelti, who is married and has three children of her own, there are still a few Brown kids who are under their parents’ roof. While Kody Brown saw his daughter Truely, whom he shares with his ex-wife Christine, for Christmas, he did not make an effort to see his youngest child with Janelle—Savannah—who lives in the same town that he does.

Ultimately, fans are distressed that the father, who is unable to help when it comes to securing surgery for his daughter and her scoliosis, has had a lien on his home for an inability to pay for a medical bill for his son and has had multiple bankruptcies and changes in income, can spend so much money on gifts for just a few of his children.

Not only do fans think it is a clear sign of favoritism, but it also shows that the family patriarch may have a problem prioritizing where funds should be allocated.
