Television star Sue Radford, who is best known for featuring in the show 22 Kids and Counting, is the proud mother of 22 children. The 50-year-old tied the knot with husband Noel when she was 17 and he was 21 years old; however, she had previously fallen pregnant with their first child when she was only 13 and he was 17. Noel and Sue are the parents of Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Hallie, Phoebe, Archie, Bonnie, and Heidie. Their son Alfie was stillborn. But away from the show, the Radford Family has an interesting net worth.
Sue and Noel, along with their children, thrive from their successful bakery business. The Radford's Pie Company serves fresh, healthy pies to consumers across the United Kingdom, and they have owned the company since 1999.
According to Heart, Sue Radford and her family are worth £975,000 thanks to their pie business. The Radford Pie Company is located near their family home in Morecambe, and thankfully, some of their children have been heavily involved in their bakery business, such as daughter Chloe, who has helped for the last six years.
Sue also acts as 'chief taste tester', whilst their son Daniel takes orders and prepares the pies for delivery. Sue and Noel also reportedly earn through social media brand partnerships, especially with over 300,000 subscribers on YouTube and 500k followers on Instagram.
Last year, Noel publicly defended himself after receiving criticism for getting his wife, Sue, pregnant when she was 13 years old.
After getting negative comments over the years, Noel defended their four-year age gap in his joint book, The Radfords: Making Life Count. He wrote: "What happened back then has obviously been brought up again in recent years, after we became known by going on television.
"People have inevitably talked about the situation, and it has been written about in the newspapers and discussed on social media. There has been a lot of focus on it, and in a way, it was probably worse for us than when it actually happened. So many people have given their opinions.
"But we were both kids, it was not as if I was 10 or 15 years older than Sue. For a lot of people, though, things are just black and white, and you are tarnished with the same brush as other people in totally different situations. We were young and we were daft. But we wanted to continue as a couple."
