6. Ozzy Osbourne – $1.7 Million
One of the first cases of reality television with a family that made you think yours was sane, holy, and sacred was Meet the Osbournes. From the unruly kids that cursed at their parents to the dogs that would use the bathroom inside of the house, Meet the Osbournes was the beginning of television you loved to hate and hated to love.
While the eccentric, unbelievable family made lots of money because of the show and other opportunities stemming from it, that didn’t stop dad Ozzy Osbourne from getting into trouble with the law. In 2008, Osbourne and his family owed over $700,000, and over $1 million in 2009. It’s reported that the family paid their debt off within a few days, which must mean it pays good to be on reality tv.
