Kate Gosselin’s Son Launches New Business After Family Struggles.
Colin Gosselin, the son of Jon and Kate, has started his own business, despite the tough financial situation he and his siblings faced after their mom left.
He shared the exciting news on Instagram, writing, “Today we officially filed as an LLC! Gosselin Pressure Washing LLC is ready to tackle that job that you’ve been needing to get done. With the spring season approaching, our goal is to make your home shine, with our pressure washing/soft-wash services.”
“We prioritize beautifying your home so that all you have to do is admire the shine after we are done!” he continued.
A lot of the comments were really positive, with fans expressing their joy over Collin stepping back from the spotlight he had as a kid on Jon and Kate Plus 8 (which later became Kate Plus 8). One commenter said, “Congratulations on your decision to be a business owner! That’s the path to wealth! I’m a business owner and there’s nothing better than building something for yourself & to serve others!”
Collin mentioned in some comments that his business currently operates in Pennsylvania, with hopes of expanding to other states down the line.
When Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired from 2007 to 2009, it underwent a rebranding after the couple divorced following a decade of marriage. The show shifted its focus to Kate, who had most of the kids under her care, and continued on TLC until 2017. A year after the series wrapped up, Kate disclosed that she had Collin placed in an institution due to supposed behavioral issues. Eventually, Collin reconnected with his dad, Jon, and has since moved back in with him.

In the earlier seasons of Jon & Kate Plus 8, the Gosselin family made about $2,000 for each episode. By Season 5, that amount jumped to $22,500 per episode. After the divorce, their earnings soared, with Kate and the kids reportedly pulling in $250,000 per episode.
Despite this financial windfall, the family faced money troubles, leading Kate to tap into the kids' savings. In 2019, she admitted to taking out $100,000 from their trust funds to help with living costs, acknowledging that she might have to keep borrowing from it to get by.
Jon has called out his ex for dipping into their kids' savings, saying she hasn't paid back what she took and described her behavior as "disgusting and morally wrong."
That same year she took money from the trust, Kate bought a $750,000 lakeside house in North Carolina, which raised more eyebrows about how she handles her finances.
Later on, Kate argued that her kids owed her $387,000 for their private school tuition, which she had covered, and saw the withdrawal as a way to get reimbursed. Recent reports suggest that Kate Gosselin's financial situation has taken a hit, with her net worth now estimated at around $200,000.
