Kate Gosselin of ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ Admits She Has Nothing Saved for Retirement Despite Reality TV Fame </a>

<p id=”par-3_29″>In the video, Collin, 21, says that he’s seen court transcripts where “my mom, unfortunately, admits to literally taking money out of my UTMA account, a very substantial amount.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_17″>“Money was taken out of the account that was made for me and my siblings,” he adds.</p>
<p id=”par-5_34″>A UTMA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act) account allows people to make gifts to a minor child. An adult serves as the custodian of the account until the child reaches the age of majority. </p>
<p id=”par-6_70″>This is not the first time that Kate has been accused of raiding her children’s accounts. In 2022, <a href=”https://www.the-sun.com/tv/5606168/jon-gosselin-accuses-kate-stealing-money-from-kids/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The U.S. Sun</a> obtained court documents where <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/why-did-jon-and-kate-gosselin-divorce.html/”>her ex Jon Gosselin</a> accused his former wife of taking $100,000 from trust accounts for Collin and his sister Hannah Gosselin. He noticed the money was missing when he obtained custody of the two kids in 2018. (Kate retained custody of their other six children.) </p>
<p id=”par-7_47″>In 2019, Kate admitted to “borrowing” money from the accounts to “meet her and the children’s expenses.” In her testimony, she argued that she’d paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in private school tuition for her children, suggesting that justified taking the money from the trust accounts. </p>
<p id=”par-8_26″>“So I mean I’m not looking to collect that but I borrowed $100,000 from the kids’ trust. And it owes me $387,000 technically,” she said. </p>

<p id=”par-9_15″>Jon told The Sun that his former wife’s actions were “disgusting and … morally wrong.”</p>
<p id=”par-10_39″>“Parents are not supposed to withdraw any money from these accounts without permission and without drawing up paperwork that they will pay it back – but she has produced no paperwork and no payments have been made,” he claimed.</p>
<p id=”par-11_44″>On TikTok, Collin said that he felt he was “robbed” of his childhood by being forced to appear on <em>Jon & Kate Plus 8. </em>Now, with little to show from his years on reality TV, he says he’s working to cover his college expenses. </p>
<p id=”par-12_37″>“I wait tables and I work pretty much full-time… I work hard. I’m paying for my tuition,” he said. Collin also shared that he’s working as an RA in order to save on housing and food costs. </p>
<p id=”par-13_64″>Meanwhile, his mom recently shared that she’s in a tough spot financially since her reality TV paychecks dried up. (She earned $40,000 per episode of her short-lived <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/kate-gosselin-returns-to-tv-with-dating-show-kate-plus-date.html/”>2019 TLC series <em>Kate Plus Date</em></a><em>, </em>according to court docs.) In comments on TikTok, she claimed her money went to paying for her kids’ educations and legal fees and that she has little saved for the future. </p>
<p id=”par-14_30″>“Raised and supported 8 kids alone and now they have enough college money to go to college and beyond,” she wrote. “I achieved my goal but have no personal retirement.” </p>
