The family was committed to dancing and singing during its 2015 and 2016 airing. Its members also made a handsome sum of cash. Starcasm reported to large family’s salary to be $32,500 per episode. The first season consisted of just seven episodes, whereas the second had six. The show came to a troubled end in 2016 when Toby Willis, the family patriarch, became involved in a court case.

The Profitability Of Being Outdaughtered
Danielle and Adam Busby are the heads of the sole American family that has a completely female set of quintuplets, a phenomenon that was interesting enough to warrant a TLC show called Outdaughtered. As is tradition with TLC’s payment schemes, the parents take 10% of the production’s budget. Terence Michael discussed the family’s earnings with In Touch, saying that the mostly female family probably earns around $25,000 to $40,000 each episode. The 2017 article did come out just as the show had commenced, however, and given that Outdaughtered continues to air to this day, it is likely that the folks are earning far more now.
