Jim Bob Duggar Scores $5 Million Payday With Walmart: Report

19 Kids and Counting patriarch Jim Bob Duggar has reportedly scored a huge $5 million payday in a land deal with Walmart in Arkansas.

A Walmart store in Bentonville, Arkansas, purchased property in Tontitown, Arkansas, that is directly linked to the TLC alum, 59, Starcasm reported on Tuesday, April 1, citing a report from Arkansas Business.

“Walmart paid $4.7 million for slightly more than 16 acres on West Henri De Tonti Road, lots the Duggars had acquired for $600,000,” the report read. “The land is adjacent to Champions Motorcars, which is owned by the Duggars.”

The retailer also reportedly paid $5.66 million for 27.45 acres adjacent to the land that they bought from Jim Bob and his wife, Michelle Duggar. This land was owned by Five J. Farms, which is led by William Jackson Butt II and James McClelland Jr., according to Arkansas Business. However, fans have speculated that the company is also linked to the Duggars.

Five J. Farms once petitioned for land on Dowell Road in Springdale, Arkansas, where “Grandma” Mary Duggar lived until her death at 78 years old after a tragic drowning in June 2019.

The reported financial win comes days after big personal news in the Duggar family, as Jim Bob and Michelle’s daughter Jinger Vuolo (née Duggar) and husband Jeremy Vuolo welcomed their third child together, a boy named Finnegan Charles Vuolo, on March 29.

“It was a pretty fairly great delivery,” Jinger, 31, said in a YouTube video announcing the news on Sunday, March 30. “I’m just so thankful to God that we have this healthy baby boy here with us.”

The California resident announced her pregnancy in October 2024.

“We’re super excited,” she told People at the time, adding that she was excited to not be pregnant during the summer months. “I’m actually all about it. Especially in the heat the past few days, I think I’m not super big pregnant and so I’m not having to worry about the extra heat. I’m like, ‘Oh man, this is going to be such an awesome thing to go through pregnancy, not in the summer.’”

Jinger and Jeremy, 37, also share daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the mom of three shared how excited she was to add a baby boy to the family.

“We’re having a boy and we’re very excited,” she said in January. “I was so shocked to find out it was a boy, because I feel like everything felt the same. I actually had a lot of similarities to the pregnancy with the girls.”

Finnegan is Jim Bob and Michelle’s 36th grandchild from their 19 kids. The family has two more on the way — Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) and husband Ben Seewald are expecting their sixth child, while Jeremiah Duggar and wife Hannah Duggar are expecting baby No. 3.

After Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar welcomed their third child together in February 2021, Michelle, 58, said it was “hard to believe that this is number 20 of our grandchildren. Now, our grandchildren outnumber our biological 19 kids.”

Jim Bob even once joked that the family would someday grow to include hundreds of grandkids.

“Four grandkids and counting. Going on 200,” he said in 2015.
