Kody Brown’s main source of income appears to be Sister Wives itself, plus side income from fan videos and occasional work in firearms sales. Public reporting also says he previously worked in billboard sales and later moved into gun sales, though the TV show is now the biggest part of his public- facing work.

What he does

  • Reality TV: his biggest and most visible job is appearing on Sister Wives.
  • Cameo/influencing: he has also earned money making paid fan videos.
  • Firearms sales: reports say he has worked in gun sales and was once president of Das Hundhaus Firearms and Accessories.

Why people ask

Kody’s work has been a running topic among fans because he often talks about being “busy” without a very clear traditional day job on the show. That’s why the most commonly cited answer is that he lives largely off reality-TV income, with a few side hustles on top.

One-line version

He’s mostly a reality-TV personality, with side income from Cameo and firearms-related work.
