Sue Radford is known for being the head of Britain's biggest family, with her and husband Noel Radford parents to 22 children.
While juggling parenthood, the couple also run a family pie business, run their YouTube Channel, work with brand partnerships and also star in Channel 5's show 22 Kids and Counting.
However, this doesn't stop the Radford family from enjoying luxurious holidays or impressive birthday presents as the couple are completely financially self-sufficient and don't claim any means tested benefits.

As a mum-of-22, we've take a look at how Sue, 48, makes her money – including rent from the kids and what her net worth is…
Sue Radford's net worth
Those who have watched Channel 5 show 22 Kids and Counting will remember the family's 10-bed home in Morecambe, Lancashire.
This house along with their pie business is said to give the Radford family a net worth of £975,000, according to ok.co.uk.
The Radford Pie Company is located near the family home in Heysham, Lancashire. Dad Noel runs the bakery and has worked as a professional baker for more than 25 years.
In a team effort, Sue oversees all the orders coming in and acts as "chief taste tester" while daughter, Chloe worked in the bakery shop for five years.
Their son, Daniel also contributes to the family business, taking orders and preparing the pies for delivery among other jobs.
Noel, 52, and Sue are parents to 33-year-old, Christopher, Sophie (29), Chloe (27), Jack (26), Daniel (26), Luke (22), Millie (21), Katie (20), James (19), Ellie (17), Aimee (16), Josh (15), Max (14), Tillie (12), Oscar (11), Casper (10), Hallie (7), Phoebe (6), Archie (5), Bonnie (4) and their youngest, three-year-old Heidie.
They also tragically had a stillborn son, who they named Alfie, in July 2014.
It’s not clear exactly how much Noel and Sue earn from Radford’s Pie Company, but fans have speculated that it’s a fairly lucrative endeavour after the family revealed that they had outgoings of more than a million pounds in 2021.
When previously asked if the family were secretly rich, Sue responded: "Absolutely not, we're definitely not secret millionaires.
"To me rich would be having the big mansion, the flash cars and quite a few hundred thousand in the bank, to me that would be rich but we are not that."
Social media income
While they make money through their pie business, Sue and Noel also make a lot of cash through their brand partnerships on social media and their TV show.
Their YouTube channel has a staggering 360,000 subscribers and their Instagram boast over 500K followers, they are also paid a fee for their reality TV show, 22 Kids and Counting.
The hit Channel 5 show is about to release its fourth series but the precise amount they will earn from this has not been publicised.
Their TV career started in 2014 when the family filmed their first series of 15 Kids and Counting and soon shot to fame – the family has rapidly grown since.
They have also collaborated with some huge international brands including Amazon, EE and Disney who are no doubt able to offer hefty fees for sponsored posts.
When previously criticised for spending money on their kids, Sue hit back and said: “We’ve worked extremely hard to get to where we are now.
“I think people forget that we don’t just have our bakery, we also work very hard on our media company and filming for our new program just like lots of other 'influencers'.
"I hate that word but most YouTubers don’t also run a very successful business."
Rent from kids
With a large number of mouths to feed and bills to pay the couple also receive a small amount of money from some of their older children who still live with them.
During their TV show, one of the older children, Chloe shared: "Us older ones do pay a little bit of board, granted it's not a lot but I am trying to save up for my own house at the moment.”
Mum, Sue added: "We've always said if you want to buy somewhere, rent is dead money so we would rather you saved that money up and stayed at home for a bit longer.
"But me and Noel believe they should pay board, if they are earning we've always been brought up to pay board."
