Mama June Net Worth: How Much Does Honey Boo Boo’s Mom Earn From Reality Shows?

Mama June Shannon continues to be a controversial figure in the reality TV scene, and it’s mostly because of her relationships with her daughters. After doing a number of reality shows, one would think that the matriarch is set for life, but that’s not really the case for Shannon.

While her 15-year-old daughter Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson has managed to amass a net worth of $400,000, Shannon’s value is only playing within the five-figure bracket. To be exact, Celebrity Net Worth reported that as of 2020, the 41-year-old We TV star has an estimated net worth of $50,000, which is a lot less than her youngest daughter’s.

Shannon kickstarted her career on TV when her youngest daughter appeared in “Toddlers & Tiaras” in 2012. After making a big impression on the show, Shannon, Alana and the rest of the family were offered their own reality series, “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” which ran for four seasons on TLC.

After the show got canceled in 2014, Shannon managed to secure another reality series under We TV, and it has been on the air since 2017.

Titled “Mama June: From Not to Hot,” the reality series centered more on Shannon and Alana’s post-pageant days. Aside from documenting Shannon’s weight loss journey and body transformation, the show mostly tackled real-life issues and problems their family has been facing.

Given that Shannon has done three reality shows on top of multiple small-screen guest appearances, it would seem like she’s bound to earn a lot from her TV career. But while she did earn a considerable amount from her television shows, her spending ways prevented her from building up her wealth.

Mama June had spent about $75,000 on her body transformation that was documented in the early seasons of “From Not to Hot,” People reported. The procedures she got included breast implants and a lift ($14,000–$15,000) as well as tummy tuck and liposuction ($15,000–$16,000), according to her surgeon Dr. Daniel G. Kolder of Pacifica Institute of Cosmetic & Reconstructive Surgery.

The TLC star also admitted during a March interview with Access Hollywood that she had spent almost $1 million on drugs at the peak of her addiction. She previously said in “Mama June: Family Crisis” last year that she and her boyfriend Geno Doak spent at least $2,500 on meth per day.

Nevertheless, there is still a silver lining in this entire situation as Shannon is sober at present and is living her best life with her kids. In her Banyan Treatment testimonial last week, she shared that she is now more focused on working on herself and on reconnecting with her children.

Speaking of her children, Shannon reunited with all four of her daughters, Anna, 26, Jessica, 24, Lauryn, 21, and Alana in Gordon, Georgia, over the weekend. In the photos obtained by Page Six, the five looked very happy as they posed for the camera at the baby shower Lauryn hosted for her second pregnancy.
