Is Jim Bob Duggar hiding his wealth? Internet accuses 'Counting On' star of using multiple LLCs and aliases
TONTITOWN, ARKANSAS: In a recent post on Reddit titled 'How much money does this family even have!?', Redditors raised questions about TLC show 'Counting On's star Jim Bob Duggar and the Duggar family's wealth.
The user wrote: "I’m subscribed to a well-known public record website and I’ve tried looking up any and all Duggars. No one comes up. Not one. How much money do they have to be able to block people from looking them up this way!?" This invited comments from several others and sparked a heated debate.
The Duggar family is estimated to have a net worth of 3.5 million dollars in 2023, according to Celebrity Net Worth. The family is headed by Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar and includes their nineteen children.
Does 'Counting On's Duggar family keep their money hidden?
One user commented, "They use aliases and multiple LLCs to stay hidden. JB has made some profitable decisions in commercial real estate over time, so they have plenty of money to hide behind as well."
Another referred to the control Jim Bob Duggar exercises in the family and stated, "JB does, but the kids are stupid to trust him with everything."
The Duggars have been known to pay for everything in cash and reject credit cards and other lines of credit.
One user gave a possible reason why the Duggars are absent from online records, saying, "Anyone can request to have their personal info removed from all those various “people search” whitepages-esq websites, it’s part of privacy laws i believe. it’s completely free if you do the legwork yourself, or you can pay a company like delete.me a couple hundred bucks to do it."

In 2015, 'Counting On' was canceled following startling revelations that Josh Duggar, the eldest child of the family, had molested four of his daughters and a babysitter back when he was a teenager. That same year, Josh also confessed to cheating on his wife and issued a public apology.
Josh was arrested in 2021 for downloading and possessing child pornography. He pleaded not guilty, he was convicted and sentenced to over 12 years in prison in 2022.
