Those Honey Boo Boo People Probably Make Way More Money Than You

Hey, I don’t want to make you guys feel bad, but that Honey Boo Boo family is totally out-earning most of you, just by honey-boo-booing all over your television. I mean, they probably are – after all, I still haven’t seen your tax returns, MamaPop readers, so I don’t know how much your family pulls in a year, but statistics would have me believe that most of you do not make more than $96,000 a year.

$96,000 will buy a lot of mustard. Especially if you’re an Extreme Couponer.

After a report came out, estimating that the family makes between $2,000-$4,000 per episode, June “Mama” Shannon, was like, “You better redneckognize—it’s way more than that.”

Excuse me, just gonna blow my nose and dab my eyes on my latest student loan statement real quick. Oh, look, Honey Boo Boo could pay that off for me in just eight episodes and probably have enough money left to buy her local Costco clean out of Mountain Dew and Red Bull.

With a first season run of 24 episodes, this means the Shannons are making “way more” than $96,000 a year for, I dunno…having a near pathological immunity to embarrassment? What exactly is it they do that has so many of you rapt? I’ve only been able to make it through about five minutes of an episode before I decided I needed more intellectual stimulation and switched over to Ow My Balls, which doesn’t even really exist outside of Idiocracy yet, but it basically might as well at this point because HONEY BOO BOO.

    This is why we can’t have nice things.

      That is, in fact, the category for this post (also “It’s not Learning, It’s The Learning Channel”).

    I always wondered what those people made.

    • issascrazyworld

      Oh by those people I mean reality TV “stars”. Not this show exactly. I’ve never seen it.

    I haven’t seen this show but even seeing these photos makes me sad. I hope they are saving the big bucks they’re making right now. Honey Boo Boo is going to need it for the future years she’ll spend in rehab and/or therapy

    I am normally opposed to people saying they hate things they’ve never seen/read/tasted/done, but whatever: I frigging hate this show. Just based on the commercials.

    • Snarky_Amber

      I have TRIED. I have a really low threshold for shows where people are embarrassing themselves (but seem to have no sense of embarrassment). I get vicariously mortified and want to crawl out of my skin. I can’t watch The Office.

    I have actually seen it and oh my lord it is as bad as you think. I’m actually glad that I don’t have to retake my SATs ever and weep knowing that for being dumbass stereotypical rednecks, they make way more than my husband and I do what with our piddly degrees.

  • the grumbles

    I would feel sorrier for them for being a laughing stock, but they’re obviously enjoying themselves and MAKING MONEY. now I can watch Honey Boo Boo 95% guilt free. thanks for that.

    Snarky Amber, you are my hero. An Idiocracy reference? I am in love.

  • SuzyQuzey

    I could only get through about 30 seconds of this trashy tribe. Shows like this make me wonder about the future of humanity.

    The Soup refers to her as a human thumb and I pretty much die every time.

    Actually this time, your commenters are jumping on the bandwagon and furthering the stereotypes here. They are redneck yes, there are teen pregnancies involved yes but they DONT make meth, they DONT make moonshine etc. and there are very few “beeps” for profanity on this show. She keeps her house clean (sometimes cluttered, sometimes not) and you should see the AWESOMENESS of her couponing spoils area. If you watch, you will see that Alana (Honey Boo Boo) is a well adjusted child, with a healthy self esteem. (And her mom is CLEARLY teasing herself and her clan at times- this woman definitely has self awareness if not more.)
    Her mother is not making her diet etc. (And I hate Toddlers and Tiaras and hate that they, including June, hype the kids up on sugar etc prior to the pageants.)
    So while it is not Masterpiece Theater, it really is more about a decent poorer southern family with a different demographic than most of us.
    And to quote Harvey Levin (yeah, yeah yeah I watch TMZ) – the CAMERAMEN for this show have stated that this family has the nicest group of people they have ever worked with.
    They seem to keep it real (far more than that trashy Kardashian clan, whose mothe has been trashing this family right ant left which is just SO AMUSING.)
    So try watching the next episode through kinder glasses and maybe you will see a glimmer of genuine humanity. Just sayin.
