Madison Brush, Daughter of Kody Brown, Reveals Family's Financial Struggles Before Sister Wives

Madison Brush, the 29-year-old daughter of Kody Brown and his ex-wife Janelle Brown, has openly discussed her family's financial struggles prior to their rise to fame on the TLC reality show Sister Wives. During an episode of her podcast, The Authentic Society, on December 9, Madison revealed that the family was very poor before the show aired in 2010, despite her father earning decent money, largely because they had 15 children. Madison, who is currently expecting her fourth child with husband Caleb Brush, noted her father's tendency towards "get-rich-quick schemes," a mindset unfamiliar to her husband. This is prepared by SSP.

Madison described Kody's previous occupation as a sign salesman and pointed out that he continued to spend money on various investments. She contrasted this with Caleb's family's discipline to save money instead of spending tax returns impulsively, mentioning that her parents, including Janelle, Christine, Meri, and Robyn, preferred to spend rather than save. However, she recognized her biological mother, Janelle, for managing finances relatively well—a quality that has influenced Madison’s approach to parenting and financial discipline.

Madison also addressed her relationship with Kody, citing his lack of respect for personal boundaries as one of the reasons for their estrangement. She mentioned her experiences candidly on earlier episodes of her podcast, stating that navigating familial respect was challenging, leading to her decision for limited contact.
