For properly over a decade now, Jonathan and Drew Scott have been amongst HGTV’s hottest stars, with Property Brothers in addition to a slew of different dwelling renovation sequence and spinoffs persevering with to pop up on the 2025 TV schedule. The twins do quite a lot of their work collectively, so it will be straightforward to imagine they earn the identical sum of money, proper? Apparently, that’s a delicate topic for the siblings.
I can’t think about it’s at all times straightforward being in enterprise together with your brother, however the Scott twins have a “no b.s. coverage” that permits them to work collectively. Cash, nonetheless, could be a sensitive concern for anyone, and apparently, it’s brought about some disagreements up to now for Jonathan and Drew. Andy Cohen broached the subject on his Sirius XM radio present, saying he assumed their financial institution accounts appeared as equivalent because the twins themselves. Jonathan Scott indicated that’s not the case, saying:
So the humorous factor is I bear in mind years in the past, as a result of I used to movie thrice greater than Drew. As a result of he could be there at first, after which he would come again on the finish of an episode, and I used to be there doing the work. I bear in mind after doing this for 10 years — ‘trigger we’ve been on the air now for over 15 years — I bear in mind, I lastly stated to Drew, like ‘Ought to I possibly receives a commission thrice what you receives a commission?’ And he’s like, ‘You’re by no means allowed to deliver this up once more. Ever.’
Andy Cohen confirmed with the Brother vs. Brother stars that sure, this was an precise struggle that they had, and it’s sort of straightforward to grasp why. If Jonathan Scott felt like he was carrying extra weight on Property Brothers, I can see why he may desire a greater piece of the pie.
Drew apparently disagreed that the division of labor tipped to date in a single course or the opposite, saying there’s quite a lot of work put in by each bros that’s not proven on TV. He stated:
Effectively the community additionally stated — as a result of, off-camera, Jonathan and I each do the development. He’s the licensed contractor, however we’ve each achieved the renovations for years. And, additionally, he was a licensed realtor and dealer, so we’ve achieved either side of the fence, however we’ve loved our product plan. We’ve had 12,500 merchandise within the dwelling house. Now we have multi-family actual property portfolios. So there’s loads outdoors of what folks see on the exhibits.
So, along with each twins with the ability to perform each the contract stuff and the reno stuff, there’s additionally loads of work being achieved by Drew Scott off-camera, even when Jonathan’s work in the home was what was being proven on TV.
I’d think about their paychecks may need been amongst the extra contentious of points the Scotts have needed to cope with through the years, however they’re brothers, so it’s actually not the one factor. In reality, there was disagreement within the very starting over what to name the present, as a result of Drew hated the title Property Brothers. (I’m simply glad they didn’t go along with their unique title, Bros Earlier than Renos.) They’ve additionally bickered over who was the higher bagpipe participant.
The house renovators can nonetheless be seen in a number of exhibits (which can be found to stream with an HBO Max subscription and on Discovery Plus), even amid the quite a few HGTV cancellations.
Not less than 5 exhibits have gotten the axe on the dwelling design community, not together with experiences that two of Christina Haack and Tarek El Moussa’s exhibits are usually not returning both — Christina on the Coast and The Flipping El Moussas. We’ll must see if and the way the modifications have an effect on the Property Brothers — and their financial institution accounts.
