Sister Wives: Is Christine Brown and David Woolley’s Airbnb Business a Financial Risk?

Sister Wives alumni Christine Brown and her partner David Woolley are rapidly expanding their Airbnb portfolio, raising questions about whether they may be stretching their finances too thin. Christine, 53, formerly part of Kody Brown’s polygamous family, stepped away from the marriage in 2021 after 27 years and six children. Following her departure, she found new love with David, with whom she moved quickly, even scouting wedding venues just a month into their relationship. The couple officially tied the knot in a special episode of Sister Wives in 2023.

Christine and David exchanged vows in Moab, Utah—an area that holds special significance for them, as they built their connection there early on. Since their marriage, they have invested in multiple properties in the region, refurbishing and decorating them to provide memorable stays for their guests. Christine actively promotes these rentals to her extensive social media audience. However, some are left wondering if this aggressive expansion poses unnecessary financial risks.

Christine’s Journey: From Stay-at-Home Mom to Entrepreneur

Embracing Her New Role

During her time with Kody, a father to 18 children across four marriages, Christine predominantly served as a stay-at-home mom, while her spouses pursued careers. Over the years, she made attempts to start various businesses with her Sister Wives, but collaboration proved challenging. Since leaving Kody, however, she has transformed into an empowered businesswoman, energized by significant lifestyle changes, including weight loss. With David’s unwavering support, Christine is seizing opportunities in her newfound freedom.

In addition to managing her influencer brand and the Airbnb business, Christine has recently announced her debut book. She shared a post on Instagram featuring the cover of her memoir, titled Sister Wives: A Memoir of Faith, Family, and Freedom, set for pre-order in September 2025. Her post showcased her in a striking red blazer, exuding confidence as she engages her followers with updates about her literary endeavor.

Introducing Their Latest Airbnb Venture

Welcome to the Hurricane House

Christine frequently highlights their expanding real estate portfolio on social media. Most recently, she showcased “the hurricane house,” a spacious rental featuring three suites that accommodates up to ten guests. In her promotional post, she emphasized its proximity to Zions National Park and numerous hiking and biking trails. The couple also adds a personal touch by decorating each bedroom thematically and including photos of Sister Wives throughout the property, connecting their brand with potential renters. This marks their third rental acquisition to date.

Since their wedding showcased in the Sister Wives special, Christine and David radiate happiness and a sense of fulfillment together. David’s attentive and loving nature contrasts sharply with Christine’s previous experiences, but financial pressure could put a strain on their blossoming relationship. While their properties exude charm, the demand for short-term rentals can be unpredictable. Although Christine aims to reclaim valuable time in her life, the rapid acquisition of multiple rental properties might represent an unnecessary gamble.
