Ryan Edwards' Financial Struggles Revealed Despite $35K Per 'Teen Mom' Episode.
Ryan Edwards' financial situation is becoming clearer in his child support case with Mackenzie Standifer. Even though he might be raking in a decent amount from each episode of Teen Mom, it hasn't stopped him from piling up some serious debt.
Recently, the court requested that Ryan provide details of "every checking account" he's had access to over the past three years. As of September 2024, he reported having just $2,200 in his checking account. In another account he shares with his mom, Jen, there was only $57 that same month.
Ryan also stated that he has no savings or retirement accounts to report to the court.
The reality star opened up about his financial situation, revealing he has an $18,000 debt on his Capital One credit cards. He also mentioned a $320,000 loan on the Tennessee house he shares with Mackenzie, even though they’re not living together anymore. Ryan claims he has some tax debt from 2020 and 2021, which he thought was filed jointly with Mackenzie, but later discovered it wasn’t.

He also shared details about his assets, which include a $25,000 2018 Ford truck, an $18,000 2017 Harley Davidson, and a Ducati motorcycle he values at $24,000. Plus, he estimates his tools are worth around $50,000.
Earlier this month, it came to light that Ryan earns about $16,000 a month from Teen Mom and his mechanic job. Mackenzie, who has stepped away from the show, brings in just over $4,100 monthly. Ryan became a regular on Teen Mom last August and reportedly makes $35,000 per episode.
Mackenzie and Ryan parted ways in 2023 amid various allegations. She has had primary custody of their two kids since then and claims Ryan is hesitant to pay child support, despite his impressive income.
“Because mother has physical custody of the parties’ two children and father is gainfully employed, the Court should order child support to be paid by Father to Mother during the pendency of this case, and at the final hearing said child support obligation be made permanent,” her initial court filing said.
This year, Ryan and his fiancée, Amanda Connor, celebrated the arrival of their baby girl. Meanwhile, he's still dealing with his divorce and custody issues with Mackenzie.
Ryan Edwards' financial situation paints a troubling picture despite his substantial income from Teen Mom and his mechanic job. His mounting debt, including credit card balances, a significant mortgage, and tax issues, highlight his inability to manage his finances responsibly. With no savings or retirement funds, and limited assets, his future financial stability looks uncertain. Moreover, his reluctance to meet his child support obligations, despite earning a considerable amount, reflects poorly on his priorities. As Ryan continues to struggle with debt and personal issues, it’s clear that his financial mismanagement is a serious obstacle to his future well-being.
