A source told The Sun: “The family was roughly paid $80k for each chunk of filming, and some seasons were longer than others, but they were picking up on average $850k a season.
“I think a lot of people will be shocked to learn they were earning that much, and it all went to Jim Bob who invested some of it for the family, and handed the rest out.
“But there were often arguments about payments, who deserved what and whether people were being paid correctly for their time on air, that was a major issue over the years.

“Some family members are glad TLC pulled the plug so they can go off on their own and manage their own money, but Jim Bob is undoubtedly p****d because it was a huge income.”
The family is stuck in their TLC contracts for six months, The Sun reported.
The insider said: “Now TLC has axed the show, most of the family are desperate to get out of the contracts, they think it’s unfair they can’t move on yet and sign any other deals.

“They will be doing everything they can to get out of them, and be looking at future projects either on TV or with brands.”
”The contracts also mean the family can’t speak too much about the show, it being canceled, or how Josh’s arrest has affected the family, they have to be very careful.”
The Sun broke the show was canceled after 11 seasons following oldest son Josh’s child pornography arrest in April.
The family was left “shocked” by the cancellation.
