Childhood reality star Honey Boo Boo<\/strong><\/a>, a.k.a. Alana Thompson<\/strong><\/a>, has started taking command of her public presence now that she is about to turn 18. The starlet is best known for appearing on Toddlers and Tiaras<\/em><\/a> in 2012 as a 6-year-old \u2014 and it\u2019s clear that her time on television has set her up with a cushy bank account. But exactly how much is she worth?\n<\/p>\n The teen is estimated to be worth $400,000 alone, without the rest of her family, according to Celebrity Net Worth<\/a>. How did she make so much money at such a young age? Here\u2019s a breakdown.<\/p>\n The blonde beauty first rose to fame on the TLC reality series Toddlers and Tiaras<\/em>, which aired from 2012-2013. Because of her popularity from the show, TLC gave her family their own spinoff series, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo<\/em><\/a>, which aired from 2012-2014. During the two-year run, Alana and her family reportedly received a salary of $50,000 per episode, earning them a whopping $2.75 million overall.<\/p>\n Three years later, Alana began regularly appearing on another spinoff series, this time focused on her mother, June \u201cMama June\u201d Shannon<\/strong><\/a>, and her incredible 300-pound weight loss. Mama June: From Not to Hot<\/i><\/a> premiered in 2017 and has been rebranded several times.<\/p>\n In 2018, the TV personality appeared on Dancing With the Stars: Juniors<\/em><\/a> and was reportedly paid $50,000. Her family also appeared on Family Feud<\/em> in 2013.<\/p>\n In 2015, Alana and her sister Lauryn \u201cPumpkin\u201d Shannon<\/strong> recorded a song called \u201cMovin\u2019 Up.\u201d They collaborated on the track with singer-songwriter Adam Barta<\/strong>. The song\u2019s music video \u2014 which has nearly four million views on YouTube to date \u2014 sparked a dance craze called the \u201cHoney Boo Boo Bop.\u201d<\/p>\n When Alana and her mom were scouted for their appearance on Toddlers and Tiaras<\/em>, they were regularly participating in the pageant circuit in Georgia. Those competitions do offer prize money, so the southern native may have accumulated some nice earnings from her competition days.<\/p>\n Now that the Toddlers and Tiaras<\/em> alum has made a name for herself and is coming into her adulthood, she is taking advantage of what her fame has to offer. In August 2021, she opened up about her identity in a thoughtful profile for <\/a>Teen Vogue<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cMy mama did not name me Honey Boo Boo. My name is Alana,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI guess people still expect me to be little Honey Boo Boo, and I\u2019m not anymore. \u2026 Just because I\u2019m from the South, people expect me to be all country bumpkin, out riding four-wheelers all the time, but that\u2019s not really how it is.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to her career as a reality TV star, Alana makes extra cash by posting promoted content on social media.<\/p>\n The teen also sells merchandise with her famous catchphrases and participates in events to meet fans for a fee.<\/p>\n In July,\u00a0TMZ<\/em><\/a>\u00a0reported that Alana will travel to Queens, New York, after her 17th birthday on August 28\u00a0 to\u00a0receive a suture sculpt endoscopic sleeve<\/a>\u00a0from weight loss doctor\u00a0Steven Batash<\/strong>.
