There is no shortage of reality stars trying to make money on the internet these days, and the latest one appears to be Meri Brown from Sister Wives. The hit TLC show is well over a decade old at this point, and things have unraveled quickly for the family in the last few years. Meri is the third and most recent of the four wives to leave their shared husband, Kody.
The news shouldn’t come as a major shock as longtime fans of the show know that the pair’s relationship struggled from their early days on TV. Still, three of the “wives” leaving within three years is a surprise to many, especially as Koday and Meri were together the longest. The most recent season of Sister Wives wrapped up in December, with much of the season covering the breakup.

It obviously didn’t take long for Meri to realize that her reality TV career was nearing an end. She recently launched a website called Worthy Up, which she calls “a space where every woman recognizes her worth, embraces her uniqueness, and thrives in a community that celebrates individual and collective growth.”
Meri posted a link to the site on her Instagram at the beginning of May to share the new community with her followers. Unfortunately, commenters quickly ridiculed her over the cost.
What Is Worthy Up?
The Worthy Up site offers three membership tiers. The cheapest starts at $150 and the highest costs $600. There is also a middle tier for $300. The membership lasts one year and includes the “benefits” listed on the site.
However, it still isn’t clear what people paying these high prices actually get. For example, every tier includes a “Printable PDF WOW workbook” and access to a Facebook group. Still, that does not explain what you are paying for or how it will improve your life.
The highest tier includes a monthly Q&A and live discussion with Meri.
Meri is offering an additional package under the website’s EXPERIENCES tab. It is a “Daycation” in Orlando on June 2nd. There are only a few details about the event, but the listing does mention a day at Disney with Meri.
This experience appears to include more than one of her memberships, at least. However, the cost for the single-day event is $300, which does not include airfare or a hotel.
It’s still hard to say whether this is a get-rich-quick scheme or an attempt at life coaching. Nonetheless, it is unlikely that people are lining up to sign up for a questionable “service” when many are questioning what they can afford at the grocery store.
Mary appears to be leveraging the last bit of her reality TV fame before it fades. There is no word on whether Meri will be in the next season of Sister Wives. Rumors indicate that filming for season 19 is underway, and it will cover the recent death of Kody and ex-wife Janelle’s son Garrison.
Meri’s Previous Career
Newer Sister Wives fans may not recall Meri working, which raises some questions about her financial situation. However, she was going to school for Psychology and worked in the industry in the early days of Sister Wives.
Unfortunately, Meri left that job shortly after season one premiered as people began recognizing her. Since then, she participated in several business ventures. However, it is unclear whether any of those were successful or whether she plans to rely on Worthy Up to support her.

Two of Meri’s ventures were multi-level marketing schemes with clothing companies LuLaRoe and Park Lane. Meri also owns a bed and breakfast called Lizzie’s and is active on Cameo, a platform where fans can pay celebrities to send them personalized messages.
With all these business ventures, it is hard to believe Meri will go broke anytime soon. However, she may see the writing on the wall as she fades into obscurity after being on TV.
