While Meri, Christine, and Janelle Brown from Sister Wives, are forced to be on a tight budget, Robyn Brown leads a luxurious life with Kody Brown.
Despite being wealthy, Kody Brown from Sister Wives solely spends his money on his fourth wife and their children. When the program debuted in 2010, the polygamous man, 54, had respectable ties with his four wives. His large family split up as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic, which made things worse. In 2023, Kody was suffering with his divorce from his third wife, Christine, while attempting to patch things up with his second wife, Janelle, according to Sister Wives season 18. He unfortunately failed, and as a result Janelle decided she no longer wanted to be married.
Kody brought in Robyn as his fourth wife, which caused his polygamous relationship to worsen. He stopped giving his previous wife the same attention and started concentrating on her. As the women gradually came to the realization that polygamy didn’t help them at all, jealousy slowly started to grow between them. After his first wife violated their marriage vows by attempting to hook up with another man in the middle of the 2010s, Kody’s relationship with her changed. Christine quickly ended the relationship and moved on to find a caring spouse. Kody has recently been able to enjoy his monogamous marriage to Robyn thanks to Janelle’s sudden departure.
8. They Live In A $900,000 Flagstaff Home
Polygamous families are supposed to live together, building a big home. However, Kody only gave Robyn the best house, leaving out the other wives. Season 18 shows how Kody lives in an expensive Flagstaff home while Janelle struggles with her dismal living situation. It proves that he only cares for his youngest wife and feels no financial obligation to provide his other wives with the same quality of life. He could have brought her in or shown her some financial support if he genuinely wanted to save his relationship with Janelle.
7. Robyn Never Needs To Work
Robyn’s lack of a career is another sign that shows Kody has only ever spent on her. Over the years, Meri, Janelle, and Christine have hustled hard to support themselves and their families. In comparison, Robyn has enjoyed a life of being Kody’s queen. Over the last few years, Janelle and Christine have been grinding a lot by collaborating with brands, as evident from their social media posts. However, thanks to her husband, Robyn has been privy to a kept life and doesn’t have to get a job or worry about finances.
6. Robyn Gave Up On My Sisterwife’s Closet
Kody’s four wives started the Sisterwife’s Closet a few years ago. They started the new business to cash in on their reality TV fame and to build something out of it. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned due to family drama and splits, which rendered the Sisterwife’s Closet obsolete. However, Robyn was still in charge of the business and could have kept it going to bring in more money. However, the 44-year-old woman didn’t do that, making it seem like Kody has ensured she’s financially secure without a solid career.
5. Gwendlyn Brown’s Bitter About Kody & Robyn’s Spending
Even other family members have noticed Kody’s crazy money-spending habits with Robyn. In early 2023, Kody and Christine’s daughter, Gwendlyn Brown, revealed what was happening in the family. She took to YouTube and said, “I think that my dad and Robyn have a terrible habit of spending very crazy and, like, not within their means at all.” Gwendlyn alleged that her father and Robyn enjoy overspending but also claimed that her mom, Janelle, and Meri would be better off without her dad. According to her, Kody’s other wives “totally deserve” the money he has spent with Robyn.
4. Kody’s Projecting By Accusing Janelle of Using Him For Money
People frequently make various projections of their actual circumstances. Kody has accomplished this by blaming Janelle of using him for financial gain, not realizing that he has also allowed Robyn to take advantage of him. If her relationship with Kody didn’t work out, Janelle said she would be “completely vulnerable” financially in season 18. Kody questioned whether he was more than just a source of income for Janelle though. The father of the Brown family seemed to be too taken in by Robyn’s allure to comprehend that he has served as a resource for her and has never had an issue with it.
3. Kody & Robyn May Have More Money To Play With
Since his splits, Kody has to be only spending on Robyn. The husband-wife duo may have more money than ever since they aren’t polygamous anymore. From reality TV incomes to other resources, they must earn much more than Meri, Christine, and Janelle. In seasons 17 and 18, Kody’s kids, with his first three wives, shared their financial complaints, but to no avail. Previously, Kody pushed Janelle to kick her sons out of the home, claiming they were old enough. However, he could have been trying to save himself from spending on them.
2. Kody Was Too Cheap To Buy Savanah Brown A Christmas Gift
Kody has showered Robyn and her family with presents and gifts. He even got scooters for Robyn’s children. However, he hasn’t done the same to his other kids. One example of Kody’s not spending enough on his other families came in season 18, when he didn’t bring anything for Savanah during Christmas. The young lady said, “I was really sad, it’s my dad. Now I’m just angry at him. No gifts, nothing.” Janelle and Christine were also baffled by the situation. However, Kody defended himself by stating, “I’m separated from my children because they kicked me out of my home. I haven’t had the emotional fortitude to reach out.”
1. Kody Flaunts David Yurman Jewelry While Janelle Worries About Money
While his other spouses were struggling, Kody also spent money on himself. Kody has been flaunting his fortune and demonstrating his affluence rather than helping Janelle through her financial difficulties. Kody flaunted his pricey new jewelry at Savanah’s graduation in May 2023 (per TV Shows Ace). Fans soon realized it was David Yurman’s extravagantly priced jewelry. Although Kody has every right to enjoy his fortune, it is terrible that he doesn’t do the same for the rest of his family in addition to Robyn. All of Kody’s Sister Wives would have been motivated to remain with him if he had provided them with loving support over the years.
