How Much Jodie Sweetin Makes Per Year
According to an income and expenditure report filed by Sweetin during a financial dispute with one of her ex-husbands, she makes $480,000 per year.
However, that amount has been contested and is likely much higher.
Documents show that she makes $26,000 per episode of “Fuller House.” Given the number of episodes filmed per year, her yearly income from that show alone would be about $700,000.
“Fuller House” has been canceled, and the final season will air beginning in late 2019. So beginning in 2020, her only income from that show will be in the form of residuals.

Introduction
Most people know Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner, the adorable, wisecracking daughter of Danny Tanner on the hit TV show “Full House.”
Her current show is a spin-off on Netflix, “Fuller House.”
But the time between her two most popular shows was full of personal struggles, emotional turmoil and relationship problems.
The difficulties she’s faced has strengthened her, and she now helps others with similar problems.
Early Life
Jodie Lee-Ann Sweetin was born in Los Angeles, CA on January 19, 1982.
She was taken from her mother soon after her birth because her mother was a prisoner in the custody of the California Department of Corrections at the time.
Her father was also in prison when she was born, and he was eventually killed in a prison riot.
Jodie’s uncle, Sam Sweetin, took custody of her and raised her. Sam and his second wife, Janice, adopted Jodie and helped her explore her love of acting.

She kept the adoption secret for many years because she was afraid that people would think that her adopted family forced her into acting.
Her first role was that of Pamela in NBC’s sitcom “Valerie,” which was a predecessor to “Hogan’s Family.” She starred only in one season, leaving the show in 1987 to begin filming “Full House.”
After “Full House” ended, she graduated from Los Alamitos High School. She then went on to attend Chapman University in Orange, CA.

Personal Life
Jodie Sweetin took her first drink of alcohol at the age of 14. She quickly became an alcoholic out of boredom, according to her memoirs.
Alcoholism primed her young brain for further addiction. She began taking several drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and ecstasy. She struggled with these addictions well into adulthood.
She’s been married and divorced three times.
She and LAPD officer Shaun Holguin were married in 2002 and divorced in 2006.
Her marriage to Cody Herpin began in 2007 and ended in 2010. They have one daughter together, Zoie, who was born in 2008.
Jodie and her boyfriend at the time, Morty Coyle, had a daughter that they named Beatrix in 2010. She and Coyle married in 2012 and divorced in 2016.
Several months before her divorce from Coyle was finalized, she announced her engagement to Justin Hodak. She broke the engagement off and filed a restraining order against him the following year. Hodak was eventually sentenced for violating that order of protection.

Interesting Facts
Many victims of drug abuse never regain control of their lives. But Jodie Sweetin came out the other side, so to speak, and is all the better for it.
After years of struggling with drugs, she finally got clean for good in 2008. She credits the birth of her first daughter for the strength she needed to change her life.
Not only did she quit drugs, but she became a certified drug and alcohol abuse counselor. She now serves as a shining example of the possibilities that await victims of drug abuse after they complete recovery.
She now sometimes works as a clinical logistics coordinator at a drug abuse recovery center.

Highlights
Sweetin is still a relatively young actress. She hasn’t won a lot of major awards. Her roles to date have not made an Oscar or Emmy possible.
She did win the Young Artist Award for Outstanding Young Comedienne in a Television Series in 1990 for her work on “Full House.”
She deserves much credit for winning that award because she had been nominated for it several times. Those nominations came in 1988 and 1989. She was again nominated for the award in 1991 and 1993 but did not win it for those years.
In 2004, her role in “Full House” won her the TV Land Award for Quintessential Non-Traditional Family.

Favorite Quotes From Jodie Sweetin
Here’s what Jodie says about real life:
“Life isn’t like a (“Full House”) episode. There isn’t going to be an easy out to every conflict. There is no milkman, paperboy, or evening TV. There are good moments and bad moments, and not everything will tie together nicely in the end. But that’s life, and I think I’m finally starting to get it.”
She has something to say about perseverance:
“I may have fallen at times, but I always get up. I know what I need to do and I’m making it happen.”
