NOEL Radford and his wife Sue are busy with their 22 children as well as a family business.
The 22 Kids And Counting star has been open about what he does to support the family.
What is Noel Radford’s net worth?
It is not known exactly how much Noel Radford is worth, but the Radford Family as a whole is said to have a net worth of £975,000.
Noel does a lot with his time to make sure the family has a steady income.
As his main business, Noel runs and manages a pie shop, which various family members help out with.
As the world moved online, the Radford Family started their own YouTube channel.
It currently has over 370,000 followers and they have posted over 430 videos (as of June 2024).
Alongside YouTube, the family also has an Instagram account where they post ad content and brand deals.
The family have made it publicly aware that they don’t claim any benefits and all the money they have has been earned themselves.
They have revealed that they make some money from brand partnerships on social media.
With most of the children still living under the same roof, some of the older kids pay rent and contribute towards bills.
Chloe explained: “Us older ones do pay a little bit of board, granted it’s not a lot but I am trying to save up for my own house at the moment.”
Mum Sue commented on their wealth saying: “We’re definitely not secret millionaires.
“To me rich would be having a big mansion, the flash cars and quite a few hundred thousand in the bank, to me that would be rich but we are not that.”
Where is Noel Radford’s pie shop?
Noel’s pie shop is located near the family house in Heysham, Lancashire.
Noel has owned the pie shop since 1999 and has made it grow so it could become the primary source of income for the large family.
Called The Radford Pie Company, the family-run business boomed during lockdown.
The shop became so popular that in July 2021, it had to relocate to a larger bakery.
Due to the demand for their pies, the business also went online, delivering their tasty treats to the UK.
How much do Noel and Sue Radford make from 22 Kids And Counting?
Fly-on-the-wall documentary 15 Kids And Counting propelled the family to stardom.
As the family has grown, the documentary continued and it’s now titled 22 Kids And Counting.
It is not specified how much of their income comes from the show.
However, a brand expert estimated that the Radfords would make £5,000 per episode.
The documentary has followed the family around since 2014, showing off how the large brood lives.

How does family-of-22 the Radfords afford to live?
AS Britain’s biggest family, it may come as no surprise that Sue and Noel Radford must have some hefty bills.
Between them, they have a whopping 22 children and seven dogs, which often has some people wonder how they manage their money.
The Radfords support themselves with the proceeds of Noel’s bakery, The Radford Pie Company, which is located near their home.
On their website, it says: “We have owned our own lovely bakery since 1999 which is how we manage to provide for (and feed) our huge and expanding family as well as for the local people of Heysham and Morecambe.”
The family expanded their business to cater to online orders placed across the UK.
The business is a family affair, with Noel at the helm, and some of their children helping out.
The older kids, who are working at least part-time, don’t get a free ride as they’re made to pay a small amount of rent to their parents.
“Us older ones do pay a little bit of board. Granted it’s not a lot but I’m also trying to save up for my own house at the moment.” their daughter Chloe said in a video on the YouTube channel.
Sue added: “We’ve always said if you want to buy somewhere, renting is a bit of dead money, so we’d rather you saved that money up and stayed at home a bit longer.
“I also do believe they should pay board if they are earning. We’ve always been brought up by our parents that we had to pay board.”
Noel and Sue famously don’t rely on benefits for their bumper brood and live off their pie shop for income.
They also revealed they make money from brand partnerships on social media.
The Radford family stars in their own reality TV show 22 Kids and Counting – which has run for four series.
Brand expert Andy Barr believes Noel and Sue have been paid less than £10,000 for each show.
He told the Daily Mail: “The typical fee per episode is going to be in the thousands rather than the tens or hundreds of thousands that people often think is the case with TV shows of this nature.
“If they continue to get commissioned for a fourth or fifth season, then they are going to be able to command a higher fee.”
He estimates that the Radfords make £ 5,000 an episode.
