Question: does tlc pay for the busbys vacations?
Answer: Considering that as of 2019 they've done 52 shows over five seasons, they're looking at a total payout between $1.3 million and $2 million. It's hard to imagine, though, that TLC wouldn't have upped the budget for this obvious ratings winner, meaning the Busbys could be bringing in even more than that for each episode.
