Who is Matt Brown?

Matt Brown was born on the 7th of September 1982 to Billy Brown and Ami Brown. Contrary to his younger siblings, Matt was born in Texas. It was only when Matt reached 3 years of age that the Brown family moved to Alaska. The eldest son of the Brown family, Matt is a forerunner on the reality series.

On and Off with Substance Abuse

Matt Brown appeared on the Discovery Channel show Alaskan Bush People from 2014 to 2019. The show follows the Brown family, who claim to live off the grid in the Alaskan wilderness, surviving on hunting, fishing, and bartering.

Matt’s life has not been easy, as he has struggled with alcohol addiction for several years. He first entered rehab in 2016, after he realized that his drinking was affecting his health and his relationship with his family. He started hanging out with people who drank and that he became more withdrawn and slower. He also revealed that he had a DUI arrest in nearly 2013, which was a wake-up call for him.

Matt completed his first rehab stint and returned to his family, who supported him throughout his recovery. He appeared on the show until season 8, when he decided to leave the show and move to California to pursue his own interests. He also wanted to distance himself from the fame and pressure of being on TV, as he felt that it was not good for his mental health.

However, Matt’s sobriety was not stable, as he relapsed several times in the following years. He checked into rehab again in 2018, after a year of ups and downs. He said that he struggled with substance abuse and that he wanted to get his life back on track. He stayed at the Betty Ford Center for a month, but left early due to personal reasons.

In January 2019, Matt went back to rehab for the third time, after he had another relapse. He stayed in treatment for several months, and then moved on a sober life.

Matt has been sober since then, and has been living a low-key life away from the spotlight. He occasionally updates his fans on his Instagram and YouTube accounts. He also expresses his gratitude for his family and his fans, who have been supportive of him throughout his journey.

Net worth

Matt Brown’s net worth is estimated to be around $100,000. However, Matt Brown claimed in an Instagram video that he does not have any money and that his family kept over $300,000 from him. He also struggled with alcohol and drug addiction and went to rehab several times. Matt Brown seems to be doing well, as he posts updates on his social media accounts.

Personal life (accident, death, girlfriend, dating)

Matt’s personal life has not been easy, as he has endured many hardships and challenges. He was badly injured in 2017 when a mason jar filled with gunpowder exploded in his refrigerator, causing him to suffer a serious head injury that required nine staples to close his scalp. He also had to deal with the death of his father, Billy Brown, who passed away in February 2021 due to a seizure. Matt revealed that he was able to reconcile with his father before his passing, but he also accused the show’s producers of invading his privacy and providing him with drugs.

Matt left the show in 2018 after struggling with addiction and facing allegations of sexual assault. Since then, he has been living in California, where he has reportedly found a new girlfriend. He has also been sharing updates on his Instagram account and YouTube channel, where he talks about his sobriety journey and his relationship with his family.

However, Matt Brown also dated a woman named Heather Bagayas in nearly 2006. They broke up after a few months, but rekindled their relationship in 2014. However, they split again later that year.
