Children are a blessing. Most of us eventually want to get married, start a family, and have a few children. One man has taken it a step further. Usually, when the term polygamy gets thrown around, you picture a man with two wives at the most. But Kody Brown defies expectations, setting the bar high up in his stratosphere.
The man has had not one, not two, not three, but four wives. When most of us cannot even get one, how he managed that is nothing short of a miracle. In this review, we will look at Brown’s net worth and meet his enormous family. We will also meet his kids.
Net worth, Sources of Income
