What is Sue and Noel Radford’s net worth?

The Radford Family is said to have a net worth of £975,000 based on their 10-bed home in Morecambe and pie business.

Sue also oversees all the orders coming in and acts as 'chief taste tester', while daughter Chloe has also worked in the bakery shop for five years.

Meanwhile, their son Daniel takes orders, prepares the pies for delivery and makes sure everywhere is clean at the end of the day.

Sue and Noel are parents to Chris, 35, Sophie, 30, Chloe, 28, Jack, 27, Daniel, 25, Luke, 23, Millie, 22, Katie, 21, James, 20, Ellie, 19, Aimee, 18, Josh, 16, Max, 15, Tillie, 14, Oscar, 12, Casper, 11, Hallie, eight, Phoebe, seven, Archie, six, Bonnie, five, and Heidie, four.

When previously asked if their family were secretly rich, Sue replied: "Absolutely not, we're definitely not secret millionaires.

"To me rich would be having the big mansion, the flash cars and quite a few hundred thousand in the bank, to me that would be rich but we are not that."

Social media earnings

Despite making money through the pie business, Sue and Noel also earn through brand partnerships on social media.

They now have over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and 500k followers on Instagram, as well as starring in their TV show 22 Kids and Counting.

They first shot to fame back in 2014 with their first series 15 Kids and Counting, with the family growing since then.

Radfords deny spoiling their kids

When previously criticised for spending money on their kids, Sue hit back: “We’ve worked extremely hard to get to where we are now.

“I think people forget that we don’t just have our bakery, we also work very hard on our media company and filming for our new program just like lots of other 'influencers'.

"I hate that word but most YouTubers don’t also run a very successful business."

Rent charges

The only other income they have is a small amount of money from some of their children who live with them.

On their TV show, Chloe previously explained: "Us older ones do pay a little bit of board, granted it's not a lot but I am trying to save up for my own house at the moment.”

Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, rent is dead money so we would rather you saved that money up and stayed at home for a bit longer.

"But me and Noel believe they should pay board, if they are earning we've always been brought up to pay board."
