Jim Bob Duggar hasn’t been in the limelight too much recently. Things turned upside down for the Duggar Family following Josh Duggar’s arrest in the child pornography case. Hence, the family has been maintaining a low-key profile since then. However, some reports have been hinting that the reality TV couple Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar might be in some financial trouble. As per “Personal Property Report”, the head of the Duggar family has sold off three of his vehicles from his collection. As per TheSun, this includes a 1979 trailer, a 2006 Dodge RM 3500, and also a 2020 Yes Tandem. There are still no details about how much the star stole these cars for yet.
Another fresh report from May 2022 suggests that Jim Bob Duggar currently owns a 2007 Dodge Ram, 2011 Mercedes, a 2015 Honda Pilot, and some other vehicles there is no information on. However, the estimated value of all these cars is as much as $47,000. That’s not all! The Duggar Family is also selling off parts of their land in Arkansas. In fact, the couple sold off 6 acres in 2022 for $46,000. Jim Bob’s sons Jeremiah and Josiah also have some acres under their name. However, other reports suggest that Jeremiah sold back the 0.36 acres he bought from his father for merely $10. It was an empty lot that initially cost $63,000. However, the former Counting On star has not yet revealed the reason behind these frequent sales. The viewers are assuming that it is because they are struggling financially.
Duggar Family: Duggars Sell 5.80 Acres Of Their Family Compound!
Ever since 2022 began, the Duggar Family has been making headlines for multiple things. Apart from Josh Duggar’s 12-year prison sentence, the rest of the family is in financial trouble. That’s because Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar sold half of their family property. They did so to their next-door neighbors. The reports stated that the couple made the decision to sell off 5.80 acres of their land. In fact, he made the deal worth $46.4K. Both the buyer and seller also filled out the “property line adjustment paperwork”. However, the fans have been still very curious as to why the family went ahead with this.
Some suspected that Josh Duggar’s guilty charge of receiving and possessing child pornography was draining his parents financially. Duggar was also earning a hefty amount of $80k for their appearing on their show, 19 Kids & Counting, and Counting On. Hence, losing out on that income has also been a big setback for the family. So, chances are that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are compensating for the same by selling off their properties and various other assets. However, it is still a theory on the internet as none of the family members have yet shed light on their financial standing. Keep coming back to TV Season & Spoilers for more Duggar Family updates.
