The stars of Sister Wives, Meri, Christine, and Janelle Brown, have to be financially cautious while Robyn Brown enjoys a lavish lifestyle alongside Kody Brown.

Kody Brown, the polygamous star of Sister Wives, has been accused of neglecting his other wives and favoring his fourth wife, Robyn. This has caused tension and jealousy among the wives, with Kody providing only financial support and luxury to Robyn while leaving Janelle and the others struggling financially. Kody’s spending habits have also been called into question, as he seems to prioritize Robyn and her family with extravagant purchases while neglecting his other children. The COVID-19 pandemic has only worsened the situation, leading to the split of the big family. In season 18 of Sister Wives, Kody tries to save his marriage with Janelle but fails, causing her to leave him. The addition of Robyn to their polygamous relationship further strained Kody’s relationships with his other wives, leading to jealousy and resentment. Despite their luxurious $900,000 Flagstaff home, the family seems to be struggling with their complicated dynamics.

In polygamous families, it’s common to live together and build a large home to accommodate multiple wives. However, the latest season of the show highlights how Kody has given his youngest wife, Robyn, the best house, while his other wives struggle with their living situations. It’s clear that Kody only cares for Robyn and doesn’t feel financially responsible for providing the same standard of living to his other wives. For instance, Janelle is seen struggling in a dismal living situation while Kody enjoys an expensive home in Flagstaff. If Kody truly cared about saving his relationship with Janelle, he could have provided her with financial support or brought her into his home. Additionally, it’s worth noting that Robyn never needs to work, which further highlights the imbalance in Kody’s treatment of his wives.

The fact that Robyn hasn’t pursued a career is a clear indication that Kody has been the sole provider for her. While Meri, Janelle, and Christine have worked hard to support themselves and their families, Robyn has lived a life of luxury as Kody’s queen. Janelle and Christine have been actively collaborating with brands and promoting them on social media, but Robyn doesn’t have to worry about finances or finding a job, thanks to her husband. It’s worth noting that Robyn even gave up on My Sisterwife’s Closet, a business venture that the four wives started together.

The Sisterwife’s Closet was a business venture initiated by Kody’s four wives to capitalize on their television fame; unfortunately, it did not succeed due to family conflicts and separations. Robyn, who was left in charge of the business, chose not to continue with it, leading people to believe that Kody has ensured her financial stability without a proper career. Kody’s spending habits with Robyn have also been a topic of discussion amongst family members. Kody and Christine’s daughter, Gwendlyn Brown, took to YouTube to express her opinion that her father and Robyn overspend without regard for their means. She further insinuated that Janelle and Meri would be better off without Kody, adding that Kody’s other wives deserved the money spent on Robyn. Kody’s accusations against Janelle of using him for money could be seen as an attempt at projecting his own behavior.

It’s common for people to project their own personal experiences onto others, and Kody is guilty of this by accusing Janelle of using him for financial gain. Ironically, Kody himself has allowed Robyn to use him in a similar way, but seems unaware of the situation. In a recent episode of season 18, Janelle admitted that she would be financially vulnerable if her relationship with Kody were to end. Kody, however, questioned whether he was simply being used as a source of income by Janelle. It’s clear that Kody is so infatuated with Robyn that he fails to recognize that she, too, has been using him for his resources. As a result, Kody and Robyn may have more money at their disposal than they realize.

After the split, Kody appears to only be spending money on his wife, Robyn. As they are no longer in a polygamous relationship, the couple may be wealthier than ever before due to various sources of income. It is likely that they earn more than Meri, Christine, and Janelle combined. In seasons 17 and 18 of their reality show, Kody’s children from his first three wives expressed their financial struggles, but nothing seemed to change. In the past, Kody urged Janelle to have her adult sons move out of their home, possibly to avoid having to support them financially. Additionally, there are reports that Kody was too frugal to buy a Christmas gift for his daughter, Savanah Brown.

Kody has been spoiling Robyn and her family with lavish gifts and surprises. He went as far as buying scooters for Robyn’s kids, but unfortunately, he hasn’t shown the same generosity to his other children. In one instance during season 18, Savanah received nothing from her father during Christmas, which left her deeply hurt and upset. Janelle and Christine were also puzzled by Kody’s behavior, and they couldn’t understand why he neglected his other families. When questioned, Kody tried to justify himself, saying that his children had kicked him out of their homes, and he didn’t have the emotional energy to reach out to them. Despite this, he continues to flaunt expensive David Yurman jewelry while Janelle worries about money issues.

Despite his wives’ financial struggles, Kody has been spending money on himself. Instead of helping Janelle, he has been showing off his wealth. In May 2023, Kody proudly displayed his expensive new jewelry at his daughter’s graduation. Fans were quick to notice the exorbitant price tag on David Yurman’s necklace. While it’s understandable for Kody to enjoy his wealth, it’s unfortunate that he doesn’t do the same for all his Sister Wives except Robyn. If Kody had supported all of his wives throughout the years, they would have more reason to stay with him.
