‘Double Lives of Suburban Wives’ star went from food stamps to making $100K a month
Emily Smith’s life has gone from scraping together grocery money to bringing home six figures in a single month.
The 37-year-old stay-at-home mom of four, featured on TLC’s "Double Lives of Suburban Wives," said her family once relied on food stamps, struggled with housing and had just $200 to spend on groceries for six people.
Now, she said her adult-content business generated more than $1 million last year.

"I think staying in the 100K a month that's the moment we were like, ‘Well, holy moly,’" Smith told Fox News Digital.
"Who would’ve ever expected something like that to happen? Not us, for sure." But getting there was anything but an overnight success.
The adult-content creation business, she explained, is notoriously unpredictable.

Eventually, one month refused to taper off.
"There was a month that really, really hit, and then it never went down and hasn't gone down, and we're like, ‘Oh, oh my God,;" she said.

That second life comes with some unexpected and bizarre requests.
One of Smith’s strangest adult-content requests came with a $2,000 price tag and an unusual ask — she was paid to "lay an egg." "So that request was $2,000," she said.
Smith's niche includes what she describes as "kinky weird adult content," with requests involving wedgies, fart content and "giant" videos — a fetish centered on fantasies of giants.
"I love to make people’s fantasies come true — if I can do it, I will do it," she said.
