This Is How Much Octomom Is Actually Worth

While Nadya Suleman's unusual family situation turned her into a celebrity (albeit, a controversial one), it didn't result in a financial windfall for the mother of 14. In fact, in 2012, just a few years after the birth of the octuplets, Suleman filed for bankruptcy, claiming that she was $1 million in debt — and that was just one of Suleman's troubles. She also faced accusations of "spending hundreds of thousands on plastic surgery to resemble ... Angelina Jolie," entered a rehab center to seek treatment for Xanax abuse, and handed over $26,000 in a welfare fraud case.

During that same time frame, Suleman was making money in ways that were raising eyebrows. In 2012, she posed nude for $8,000 and also appeared in an adult film while working as a stripper. "I have to do what I have to do to take care of my family, and I'm not ashamed. I'm not ashamed at all," she told People magazine after the naked photoshoot. "I've never sacrificed my morals and values."

However, Suleman's thoughts on the racy ways she was earning a living seem to have changed over time. Eventually, she decided to put her stripping days behind her and instead put her B.A. in child development to work in order to pursue a career as a counselor. These days, she seems to not only be surviving, but is thriving, as are all 14 of kids.
