Mama June’s jaw-dropping TV salary revealed after she’s ordered to pay $800 a month in child support to daughter Pumpkin
MAMA June Shannon's jaw-dropping TV salary has been revealed after she was ordered to pay just $800 in monthly child support to her daughter Lauryn 'Pumpkin' Efird.
In court documents, exclusively revealed by The Sun, June's monthly income is an eye-watering $25,000 a month from her WeTV contract and her various promotional deals.
The child custody document, giving Pumpkin full custody of Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson, reads that the defendant's "gross monthly income is approximately $25,000."
In the ruling, the judge wrote: "While this is her current income, this amount is uncertain as it depends on production and endorsements and at this time, the show has not been renewed for a new season."
"Her only certain income is disability of $1,050 a month. Therefore, the defendant is receiving a deviation of $1,228.93 as the parties agreed that this is in the best interest of the minor child.
"The final amount of child support that the defendant shall pay to the plaintiff is $800 a month for the support and maintenance of the minor child beginning on May 1, 2022."
In the child support order, there is no mention of Alana's father, Mike 'Sugar Bear' Thompson, paying child support to Pumpkin.
Although he is recognized as Alana's biological father, the document said that he has "never legitimated the child," which means he has no legal rights to, and he never financially supported, Alana.
PUMPKIN WINS
According to the Georgia court documents first obtained by The Sun, a judge awarded sole custody of Alana, 16, to her sister Pumpkin, 22, away from their mother June, 42.

In the final order issued in April 2022, the judge wrote that Pumpkin "has had guardianship of the minor child since April 29, 2019.
"It is in the best interest of the child that the plaintiff is awarded sole custody."
The judge ordered June, 42, to pay $800 in monthly child support to Pumpkin, beginning on May 1, 2022, and to continue on the 1st of every month until Alana turns 18 years old.
Pumpkin now has the right to make the day-to-day care decisions for Alana, and she has the sole decision-making authority for major decisions as well.
Additionally, the 22-year-old mother of four will have the discretion to allow "visitation between the defendant [June] and the minor [Alana]."
In the ruling, the judge noted that both parties had agreed to the arrangement.
The young mother also just gave birth to twins earlier this month, as The Sun first reported.
Josh Efird, 25, and Pumpkin certainly have their hands full, with son Bentley, 10 months, daughter Ella, 4, Alana and their newborn twins.
ADDICTION BATTLE
June's battle with drugs spiraled out of control and came to a head when she was arrested on drug possession charges in March of 2019 along with her boyfriend at the time, Geno Doak, 46.
Pumpkin was awarded temporary guardianship over Alana in August of 2019, with permission from Alana's father Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson.
In her drug addiction, June sold the family's Georgia home at a loss for fast cash in October 2019.
June now claims to be nearly two years sober.
MAMA'S MARRIED
In other big news for June's family, The Sun exclusively reported earlier this week that the reality TV matriarch tied the knot with her new boyfriend Justin Stroud in a secret courthouse ceremony in March.
A clerk confirmed to The Sun that the Mama June: Road to Redemption star and her new man, 34, quietly tied the knot at a Georgia courthouse on March 23.
June and Justin had been dating for just six months before they said "I do."
The couple sparked rumors of an engagement after they shopped for rings together at an Alabama jewelry store in March.
In an exclusive interview, the reality star matriarch recently told The Sun about her relationship.
"We've known each other going on a year now. We were best friends and we decided to take it to the next step in the last eight months," June said.
The mother of four praised her new love for helping her after she ended her volatile relationship with her troubled ex, Geno.
"It's been amazing like you know, he's helped put the pieces back together," she said of the auto mechanic.
As The Sun previously exclusively revealed, Justin was arrested on an outstanding warrant in Florida in February while attending an event with June.
The loved-up couple was attending a party when police finally caught up with Justin, who had been evading authorities for months.

Before Justin was arrested in Florida, June and her new man were traveling all over the United States.
