This comes after Janelle tearfully revealed that she felt financially "stuck" in her marriage to Kody because she sunk all of her money into family investments, including their purchase of Coyote Pass.
The Brown family bought the empty plot of land for $820,000 in 2018, and while they had high hopes of eventually building several homes on the property, they were unable to start construction until it was entirely paid off.
Janelle Brown revealed she felt financially 'stuck' in her marriage because her money was tied up in family investments.
"Financially, I have nothing. Christine had the house, I have nothing," Janelle explained, referring to her sister wife, who sold her Flagstaff home to help pay for her move to Utah after her own split from Kody.
"My name is on property with everybody else, probably nobody will cooperate now and play ball," she confessed. "I can't believe I'm 50 and can't do my own thing 'cause I'm so tied up with them financially… I can't believe I got myself into this position. How dumb is that? I know better."

The mother-of-six — who shares Logan, Madison, Hunter, Garrison, Gabriel and Savanah with Kody — was so determined to live on the land that she purchased a trailer so that she could stay several months out of the year. However, in a recent episode of the show, Janelle explained the financial hoops they had to jump through in order to afford the property.
"The way that we were able to buy it is we paid mostly cash for it," she told the cameras. "We had to take a private mortgage on a portion of it. We just didn’t have the cash for it. If we do not pay it off, we are in jeopardy of losing the land, just like any other mortgage. Kody sticks his hand in the sand."
The Sun reported Kody's donations.
