How much, exactly?

Well, according to the Land Report, her family has made over $23.9 million over the last decade from the Bureau of Land Management because they allow wild horses and burros on their land.

The Drummonds also run a highly successful cattle company, while Ree herself has seen incredible success through her blog and Food Network program, which is one of the network's most highly-rated shows. Her personal net worth is estimated to be around $8 million.
