Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson first made their presence known on the FX/FXX comedy It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia as the egocentric workers at Paddy’s Pub, Ronald “Mac” McDonald and Deandra “Sweet Dee” Reynolds. The on-air duo ended up becoming a couple in real life (something they decided to keep secret.) Eventually marrying in 2008, both Rob and Kaitlin continued on the hit sitcom, raking in quite the collective net worth.
Indeed, McElhenney and Olson have become ingrained in the minds of TV audiences due to their popular Sunny characters, (especially McElhenney and his wacky antics, such as gaining a ton of weight and then losing it in the later seasons.) The couple has branched off and explored other roles to add to their growing fortune, but what does this comedic couple spend their hard-earned money on?

Rob and Kaitlin first became romantically interested in one another while appearing on It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia together. After two years of dating, the couple decided to make it official, tying the knot in 2008. McElhenney and Olson's wedding ceremony took place at the eye-catching Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu. The nature-themed event was held under a large sycamore tree in the middle of the ranch. Though nothing is written about what the lavish yet rustic event cost the couple, the ceremony was nonetheless not free. Most celebrity weddings cost a pretty penny; however, for this wedding, in particular, fans will have to speculate.
