TLC introduced the world to the Plath family with Welcome To Plathville in 2019. The family of religious and conservative parents and their children soon became fan favorites. As the children got older and experienced the world more, a few became rebellious and are now trying to live life in their own way.
The oldest of the Plath children, Ethan, was married to Olivia. It happened when they were both very young. The fans had often wondered how he earned money. Everyone is curious about his job. So, let’s take a look at what he does for a livelihood.
Welcome To Plathville: Is Ethan’s Hobby Also His Job?
The Eldest Plath child has long since been vocal about his love for cars. Ethan’s Instagram bio is “Lover of classic cars, a long list of projects, and @oliviamarieplath.” So yes, it looks like that might have a significant role to play in his professional life.
Ethan has appeared on his family’s show, Welcome To Plathville, since the start. Due to this, the show’s fans have assumed that a portion of his paychecks comes from these TV appearances. While that may be true, what people don’t know is that the earnings of Reality TV stars are often not that high.
Fans have often tried searching for Ethan’s job. One of them pointed out that Plath could be a collector, mechanic, or restorer of cars. To this, another fan responded, stating restoring classic cars often brought in good money for people. But a few of the audience members had noted that Ethan couldn’t be earning from restoring cars, as he doesn’t sell them; instead, he keeps them for himself.
However, one of the avid Welcome To Plathville viewers stated that Ethan had been working with cars since he was 13. He had also worked in IT, servicing copiers and other things. Ethan also has a keen eye for luxury cars and has good savings from his time as a mechanic.
Plath had said in a TLC extra segment on Plath family members that he was always interested in machinery and how things worked. And so he became a mechanic, combining his interest with his love for cars. He also wants to open his own shop if he ends up making some extra money through his appearances on the show.
Welcome To Plathville: Olivia Has An Interesting Career Too
Apart from being married to Ethan Plath and appearing on the show, even Olivia has a separate source of income. The Welcome to Plathville stars have funds sufficient to live their life as they desire. But what is its source?
