Janelle Brown just got one of the harshest reminders of “bad timing” a person can get. Her former Las Vegas home has hit the market again, and now carries a jaw-dropping $1.15 million price tag.
She sold the same house in 2019 for $575,000 after slashing the price several times and struggling to find a buyer. Janelle acted as her own real estate agent, according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. This choice might have saved her on commission, but it didn’t help her finances.
The property is in the Browns’ old Las Vegas cul-de-sac. This is where Kody and his wives built homes during their peak TLC days.
Seeing the value now, six years later, makes the family’s exit from Las Vegas look even worse.
Sister Wives: The Move to Flagstaff Cost Them Big
The Browns moved from Las Vegas in 2018. They invested their money in Coyote Pass, a 14-acre piece of land in Flagstaff, Arizona. They pitched it as their fresh start. Their “forever land.” Their big, plural family dream.
It never materialized.
They couldn’t afford to build. They couldn’t agree on house placement. They couldn’t get permits. The land became nothing more than a dusty symbol of their unraveling.
Earlier this year, they sold everything for $1.5 million. They made a small profit of $68,000 after years of upkeep and taxes.
This is the same family that once made up to $40,000 per episode from TLC. The financial contrast is brutal.
Sister Wives: Janelle and Meri Gave Their Profits to the “Family Fund”
Both Janelle and Meri added salt to the wound. They admitted they put the profits from their Las Vegas home sales into a shared “family fund.””
That fund?
Kody used it to buy Robyn’s million-dollar Flagstaff mansion.
Janelle has openly regretted the decision. And now, knowing her old Vegas home is worth almost double, the regret hits even harder.
Meanwhile, all three former wives, Meri, Janelle, and Christine, left Kody behind. Only Robyn remains.
Sister Wives: Janelle Starts Over in North Carolina
After parting ways with Kody, Janelle moved to North Carolina. There, she took charge of her life and finances.
She’s now building what she calls her “forever home.”
“For the first time, I get to create a home that feels exactly like me,” she wrote on Instagram.
It’s a fresh start for a woman who spent years making choices with a man. She says he always shaped things to match his vision.
Now she’s building for herself, not for a plural family, not for Kody, and definitely not for a failing joint dream.
Sister Wives: Kody Brown’s Relationships With His Kids Crumble
But the financial mess isn’t the Browns’ only problem. In the latest episode, Janelle revealed a big surprise: her daughter Madison hasn’t talked to Kody in years.
“Maddie doesn’t really even tell him that she’s pregnant,” Janelle said. “He’ll find out. They haven’t spoken for a long time. It’s probably been two or three years.”
This echoes what she said last December:
“Kody is alienated from 90 to 95 percent of his children. He is not really wanted at events.”
Maddie backed that up on her podcast, saying she went no-contact for a simple reason:
“He doesn’t have any respect for boundaries, and you have to play by his rules, and I just don’t care to do that.”
She revealed that trying to have honest conversations with him led to blowups.
“There was a lot of anger and he’d be like, ‘That’s not true!’ And I’m like, ‘It is true. I know this firsthand.’”
When people online tell her to “forgive her dad,” Maddie fires back with the most blunt line of all:
“Your experience with your dad could be very different than my experience with my dad.”
Sister Wives: Meanwhile… Kody and Robyn Buy a New Mansion
Kody and Robyn managed to buy a multi-million-dollar home this year, even with everything falling apart around them.
It’s clear the TLC checks are still coming in hot for the only couple left standing.
Is Janelle Brown finally getting the life she deserved all along?
