As reality TV stars Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton have garnered a significant fan base, what then is their take home?
The siblings rose to fame as stars of the TLC's "1000-Lb Sisters" series, which documented their weight loss journeys and respective lives. An inside look into their earnings recently revealed the pairs' net worth as TV personalities and YouTubers.
Amy and Tammy Slaton stay connected to their fans outside the series through social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. The sisters never shy away from sharing private details about their lives or being vulnerable about their transformation.
Inside Tammy Slaton's Net Worth
Unlike her sister, Tammy had a significantly lesser net worth of about $100,000. The report theorized her earnings were less because she did not have a massive YouTube following like Amy, with nearly 150,000 subscribers.
While Tammy did not earn as much as her sister, her wealth did not overshadow the fantastic results she debuted on the show. Tammy's weight loss journey saw her shedding over 500 pounds, an achievement she raved about during a 2023 interview, saying:
"The process of getting approved for surgery wasn't easy. I worked my butt off. I was starving a lot of the time, and my hard work paid off."
Tammy's transformation continued on season 6 of the TLC show, which premiered on October 8. A teaser captured her visit to the doctor to discuss the removal of her excess skin and how she was worried the surgery wouldn't be approved.
How Much Money Does Amy Slaton Make?
According to new reports, Amy has an estimated net worth of around $250,000. She earned this figure thanks to her TV appearances and over 538,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel.
Amy also earns money through Cameos, personalized messages for fans that go for $68 per message. While she and Tammy have never disclosed how much they earn from the "1000-Lb Sisters" show, experts believed it could tally with the sum small screen stars earned.
"For those docu-ensembles, especially if they're nobodies, per episode it ranges from low-end, like $1,500 an episode, to $3,000 at the high end," a source per In Touch claimed, adding:
"And then, after three years of success, it can go up to $7,000 to $10,000 an episode. After that, you start moving into the Kardashian level."

"Mermaid vibes Halloween 2023," Amy captioned the snap. Meanwhile, Tammy rocked two costumes in her Instagram post. She shared a video of herself dressed in a skeleton two-piece followed by a black dress with gold hues on the chest.

Nearly a year after flaunting her Halloween fit, Amy went viral for getting arrested and facing a child endangerment charge following an alleged camel bite at the Tennessee Safari Park. The Blast noted her pals were concerned about her.
The TLC star's friends claimed she struggled with multiple problems like bipolar disorder following her messy split from her ex, Michael Halterman, who filed for divorce last year. Her erratic behavior became a problem for those around her, with a source admitting:
"Everyone in Amy's life is petrified she'll be six feet under unless something drastic happens. Her mood's never been darker."
The insider continued, "Fans and people in her life feel she's a victim of exploitation. These demons she's had have been amplified to a toxic degree by putting her on camera."

The drama surrounding Amy's September arrest saw fans rushing to her sister's comment section for answers. The Blast noted that many curious people queried Tammy about her sibling's whereabouts after she was taken into custody.
"Girl, your sister on the shade room," someone pointed out while another blatantly asked, "Did you bail Amy out yet?" A third asked, "Gurl... what's the T on your sister??" while a fourth social media user penned: "Is your sister ok??? I hope so."
The questions about Amy stemmed from an incident at the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo. EMS workers wheeled her out of the venue with a makeshift tourniquet around her arm following an alleged camel bite.
However, authorities arrested Amy for illegal possession of Schedule I, illegal possession of Schedule IV, and two counts of child endangerment. Cops reportedly found drugs in plain sight in her car despite there being young kids with her.
