In the second part of our Teen Moms 2 money special feature, OKMagazine.com breaks down what's in Leah Messer's bank account.

There have been numerous reports that Leah is considering quitting, if MTV do decide on a fifth season of the hit show—choosing instead to leave the drama behind and concentrate on being a wife and mom.

“I will NEVER let money take over my life! All I need is what I have.. Money will NEVER make me truly happy! It’ll never buy my happiness,” Leah tweeted back in January.

According to a well placed source, Messer, in her own right, is worth in the region of $75,000, and that's without taking into account her husband's substantial earnings and her home ownership.

Finally, Corey pays Leah $700 a month in child support—the amount came under scrutiny last season after Leah's mother claimed MTV edited the show to make it appear her daughter was being greedy and trying to squeeze as much money as possible from her ex.

The truth of the matter though is that Leah is actually entitled to around $1,200 a month in support, but agreed to settle for much less, $100 less in fact than the $800 a month that she was shown agreeing upon in Teen Mom 2.
