Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff transformed his family farm into a multimillion-dollar enterprise — and with his recent split from fiancée Caryn Chandler — fans are more curious than ever about the reality TV patriarch’s impressive net worth.
What Is ‘Little People, Big World’ Star Matt Roloff’s Net Worth?
Matt Roloff has a hefty net worth after years on reality TV.
Roloff is worth an estimated $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
How Does ‘Little People, Big World’ Star Matt Roloff Make Money?
Matt Roloff is the sole owner of Roloff Farms.
Roloff originally worked as a computer programmer in Silicon Valley in the 1980s. Matt and his then-wife, Amy Roloff, later purchased a 34-acre farm in Helvetia, a community just outside of Portland, Ore.
Matt transformed the family farm into a popular tourist attraction, featuring amusement rides and a pumpkin patch, where he and his family welcome about 30,000 visitors to the property every year.
A sizable amount of the reality TV personality’s net worth may have come from the family’s reality TV show, Little People, Big World, which aired for 25 Seasons on TLC.
While it's unclear exactly how much Matt earned from his TLC appearances, early seasons of the show — which aired twice a year with about 20 episodes per season — saw stars earning between $1,500 and $3,000 per episode, according to Business Insider. This could have translated to $60,000 to $120,000 annually for Matt during those years.

Matt Roloff purchased his ex-wife's portion of Roloff Farms.
Matt purchased his ex-wife’s stake of the farm following their 2017 divorce. Amy sold a portion of her land to Matt for $667,000, RadarOnline.com reported in June 2019.
