Little People, Big World star Chris Marek — Amy Roloff’s husband — doesn’t fully rely on the TLC series for income. While his wife has a whopping net worth of $6 million, per Celebrity Net Worth, Chris makes his own money away from reality TV. As a real estate agent, he tends to rake in the big bucks whenever he sells a decent number of homes. Keep reading to find out how Chris makes his money outside of the hit TV show.
What Is Chris Marek’s Net Worth?
Chris has a net worth of around $1 million, according to multiple sites, such as Distractify and Stars Offline.
What Is Chris Marek’s Job in Real Estate?
Chris is the owner of his own real estate business in Portland, Oregon: Keller Williams Real Estate. Not only that, but he is also a part of the Knipe Realty team, according to Zillow.com.
The realtor has sold an extensive number of homes across the Portland area and has been working in the business for more than 20 years. As of 2024, he has listed and sold more than 179 houses, with a few closing prices listed over $490,000, per the real estate website.
“I take great pride in offering superior service to my clients,” Chris’ Zillow “About Me” section reads. “If you’re in the market to buy or sell a home, please give me a call. I’d be happy to discuss your needs and provide advice at no obligation to you.”
The average salary of a realtor in his area is $121,693 per year, according to Glassdoor.
During season 25 of Little People, Big World, Chris tried to use his real estate skills to create some residual income. Amy and Chris went to look at homes together and they toured big properties out of their price range in an effort to use the space to host weddings.
“He’s had several of his own businesses. And even though he’s working for a real estate company or whatever, you’re kind of self-employed in a lot of ways,” Amy explained during the March 19, 2024, episode. “So this is just an extension of what he’s done in the past, trying to come up and see what another business can do.”
However, Amy wasn’t completely convinced by the operation, as she didn’t want to work until she was 85.
“But if we have to host them and we need to host so many of them in order to cover a lot more expenses that I would’ve anticipated in my later years, that’s where I hesitate,” the mother of four told producers in a solo confessional. “‘Cause I don’t know if I have that kind of fight at this age.”
Chris Marek Was a Photographer
Though he found success in the real estate business, Chris was a photographer. However, he hasn’t promoted much of his past work.
