Big shocked news ! BIG sPENDER Little People Jacob Roloff sparks concern after he hints he’s ‘BROKE
Jacob Roloff, one of the stars of *Little People Big World*, recently sparked attention with a social media post implying that he is financially strained. The 25-year-old shared sarcastic comments about his supposed net worth, saying, “My Networth is once again being searched for on Google. I have $700,000 somewhere apparently. All I’m doing is working for vibrations, no brains.” This playful but pointed comment came after ongoing disputes with his brother Zach and father Matt, particularly over the family farm.
Fans quickly took to the comments to speculate about Jacob’s actual financial status. Many expressed surprise, wondering how someone who has been part of a popular reality TV show since childhood could face financial issues. One fan wrote, “How does he not have at least $700K after being on TV for so long?” Others encouraged Jacob to take legal action against TLC, referencing his 2021 revelations about being groomed and molested by the show’s former executive field producer, Christopher Cardamone.
Jacob had previously shared that the abuse occurred when he was between 10 and 13 years old, during Cardamone’s tenure on the show from 2007 to 2010. Despite Cardamone pleading guilty to child offenses, he only served 73 days in jail. One fan speculated that Jacob’s loyalty to his family, who remain involved with TLC, might be preventing him from suing the network.
Jacob has spoken openly about his difficult relationship with the show, particularly regarding his financial compensation. In May 2021, he tweeted, “People don’t realize I was paid about $6 an hour to be filmed for my entire childhood.” Despite being mocked as “rich” due to his fame, Jacob’s experiences on the show left him feeling undervalued and underpaid. He expressed conflicting emotions, saying that while he cherishes his family and values, he regrets not taking a more aggressive stance, remarking, “I wish I went scorched Earth.”
Beyond his personal and financial challenges, Jacob and his wife, Isabel Rock, welcomed their first child, a son named Mateo, in December 2021. His family life has been a point of joy amidst the lingering complexities of his past.
In terms of finances, as of 2018, Jacob’s net worth was estimated at around $300,000, despite widespread public perception that he might be worth more. According to *Business Insider*, the Roloff family reportedly earns between $7,000 and $110,000 per episode of *Little People Big World*, although it’s unclear how those funds were distributed among family members.
The Roloff family’s internal conflict, particularly between Matt and his oldest twin son, Zach, has been a dominant storyline in recent seasons. The tension escalated after Matt decided to sell a significant portion of Roloff Farms in May 2021. The family farm, a central element of the show, is being sold for an estimated $4 million, as reported by *The Wall Street Journal*. The sale includes the original family home and the iconic red barn featured in numerous episodes. Zach has expressed his frustration with the decision, deepening the rift between him and his father, which has become a key focus in the current season of the show.
Jacob, while less involved with the show compared to his siblings, remains at the heart of fan speculation and discussion, especially with his candid remarks about his financial situation, family loyalty, and his troubled history with TLC and the show’s production.
