These days, many of the Teen Mom cast members have their own line of products. From Kailyn Lowry’s haircare line Pothead to Jenelle Evans makeup line, it’s not uncommon for the girls to dabble in side hustles.
But of all of the Teen Moms, it’s safe to say that Farrah Abraham has had the most businesses and side hustles. In fact, she started her first side hustle, modeling, while she was still in the early seasons of Teen Mom OG.
Like all of the stars, Farrah has been through a lot and changed dramatically since her first days on the show. Now that it’s been a decade since Teen Mom began, there’s no better time to take a stroll down memory lane and remember all of Farrah’s fascinating businesses and side hustles.

Workout Coach
Back to making videos, Farrah released a “Baby Bum” workout video in 2012 on VHS. Farrah explained her reasoning for taking the time to get her heartrate up during the video, saying,
I have to say, I love working out because through being a teenager, through having a baby, after having a baby, being a chef an eating a lot — always work out! Come in handy. It can’t just be dieting or just running , it has to also be the combination of the two. So eat right and work out, and I think these core workouts will help you because they helped me.
