Jim Bob Net worth
Jim Bob Duggar’s net worth has long been a matter of speculation among both fans and critics of the former reality star.
It worth to note that, Jim Bob created a TV empire and he still owns a whole lot of valuable assets.
But as a dad of 19, he also has a whole lot of expenses.
According to a recent report from celebrity net worth, Jim Bob is estimated to worth about $3.5 million. It’s also a lot of money but again with 19 kids and a staggering 33 grandchildren, JB probably feels stretched pretty thin at times.
And of course, $3.5 million is a fraction of what Jim was worth at the height of his career.
