Dont ask me how they can afford it...obviously from money they make of the show "sigh" If only we could all live that well.

So do these two have REAL "jobs," or do they just sponge off of the mindlessness of those who drool while watching them? LOL!

I am not even going to look at the pics. It makes me sick just to think of Jon and Kate. Hopefully they have money set aside for when all of their kids need major therapy.

I already saw the pics elsewhere and boy am I jealous!! Wish I could afford it, but I only have 2 kids and they're fairly normal so no money there. Anyway, at least they're staying in PA and not going to NC like all the rumors said...so the kids will still get to see what little family there is.

I'm guessing TLC is paying for it...as Kate hasn't worked in years and I forget what Jon actually does. They used to show him going to work but not anymore...now it's to redo less than 10 year old wedding vows in Hawaii! Oh well.

I agree, I hope they have trust funds for the kids, but hopefully some for college AND therapy...lol!

Is this a joke? Are they renting this mansion? It would go for over a million dollars in my area of Pa depending on how much land they have. Since its a radio station I'm skeptical of the stories authenticity. They are having a spending war with the Roloffs although at least the Roloffs have a working farm and both have jobs.

I hate that show....Jon and Kate are like nails on a chalkboard to me. They are phonies and con artists in my opinion, and they should be arrested for exploiting their children. Even more pathetic is how these phonies try to act like they are "Christians." I've read a lot of articles about them and it seems they are very rude people in person, they go to a lot of speaking engagements and won't even talk to people afterwards, they do not allow any pictures to be taken, and this is because they SELL pictures of themselves and their family for 20 BUCKS!!! Who do these people think they are that people would want to pay 20 bucks for a picture of them? I can't wait until that show crashes and burns already. I hope they're saving some of that money they're spending on million dollar homes and fancy vacations for the therapy their kids are going to need someday!

And somebody tell Jon to grow and set and stop being barked at and ordered around by his wife!

When my wife puts that show on, I leave the room anymore.

No, they don't have real jobs...they use this show to exploit their kids for money.

These people went to a fertility clinic, which is why they had so many kids....they had twins the first time they went to a fertility clinic, so its not like people should have pity on them or anything, they knew they were pretty much asking for multiples.

If you think about it though, being a nurse and an IT specialist isn't really going to cover the costs of taking care of 8 kids and yourself. You'd have to pay alot of money for a babysitter. And even if Jon just worked and Kate stayed home with the kids, they still wouldn't have enough money to raise their kids. The show is the only way they'd be able to afford it. I think both Jon and Kate can both be jerks, but seriously they're not the only ones out there who put their kids on national television- I'm pretty sure there is alot worse things they could have done to their kids. How many movie stars/ tv starts start out young? And yes they did go to a fertility clinic but thats because they weren't able to have kids to begin with- and hell if I ended up with 8 kids after trying so hard in the first place... I'd be pretty freakin happy. I'm not jealous though, rather would not have to deal with everyone talking about me and letting the whole world in on my life. I like my private life!

Maybe they shouldn't have went to a fertility clinic then. Its well-known that there is a high risk of having multiples with fertility treatments, and they should have known this since they had twins the first time. If they couldn't afford a litter, they shouldn't have asked for one.
