John-David & Abbie Duggar’s Net Worth Revealed: Inside Their Surprising Income Sources
John David Duggar and his wife Abbie Duggar seem to approach life differently than most of the other Duggar siblings. The couple got married in their late 20s, and they only have one child. Fans are curious about the couple, and many want to know how John David and Abbie make their money.
John David is the second-oldest son in the Duggar family, who became famous on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting reality series. He took on a larger role in the family after the scandal broke in 2015, revealing that oldest son Josh Duggar had molested his sisters and cheated on his wife, Anna. The incident led to John David really stepping up to support his siblings (more on that later).
Unlike some of his siblings, John David and Abbie earn money outside of the revenue created by Counting On, the second TLC series about the Duggar family that focuses on the older Duggar kids and their families. John David also has a twin, Jana Duggar.
According to the TLC website bio for the Counting On stars, John David and Abbie, who’s from Oklahoma, got married in November 2018. They have one daughter, Grace Annette Duggar, born in 2020. It appears that waiting to tie the knot and only having one child has worked out well for the couple.

If John David Duggar and his wife Abbie Duggar seem more independent than other Duggar family members, it’s because they have jobs outside of the family reality TV franchise. The couple has a net worth of $500,000.
Abbie announced in January 2024 that she was now a representative for Monat and selling their hair care products. The hair care system is made specifically for curly hair like Abbie’s and she gushed about the changes she saw in her curls after using the products.
Abbie made a living from her time as a nurse, while John-David supports the family with his jobs as a pilot, constable and the towing service he owns. According to TLC’s bio, he’s also previously “worked as a firefighter, first responder, and police volunteer.”
John David and Abbie’s jobs outside the reality series appear to allow the couple to be more selective in how much of their lives are revealed on-screen. For example, when the couple welcomed their daughter Grace to the world on Jan. 7, 2020, there were no cameras in the delivery room.
On TLC’s Counting On, it’s become almost a “family tradition” to have the cable network’s cameras in the delivery room, filming every aspect of childbirth. According to The Daily Mail, “Josh’s wife Anna, Jill, Jessa, Joy-Anna, Jinger, Joe’s wife Kendra, and Josiah’s wife Lauren have all given birth on camera.” John David and Abbie’s decision marked a departure from Counting On tradition and set the couple apart from some of the Duggar siblings.
