Little People, Big World – The Wealthy Roloffs
The Portland, OR family, the Roloffs, of Little People, Big World fame were a standout group in the show where Amy and Matt did their best to be good parents to Zach, their son. They all have dwarfism. Terrence Michael, a producer of the show, revealed to E! that the family was handed 10% of every episode’s profits. Say, for example, an episode earned $50,000, then the family would be handed $5,000. According to other sources, however, the Roloffs were earning a lot more than their officially reported earnings. They could easily be cashing an amount between $7,000 to $10,000 following each episode’s earning.
