Russell Brand’s net worth revealed amid sexual assault allegations

***Warning: this article discusses sexual abuse and rape.***

Russell Brand's net worth has been revealed, with the actor and comedian reportedly being worth millions.

Brand has been the topic of conversation of late after a Channel 4 Dispatches and The Times investigation spoke with a handful of women who are accusing the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star of rape.

The star has denied the claims, however, and shared a video on social media ahead of the Dispatches episode airing on Saturday night, 16 September.

In the video titled: 'So, This is Happening', the comedian said: "I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email. One from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like my community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel.

"But amidst this litany of astonishing rather baroque attacks, are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute."

Metropolitan Police have since issued a statement urging any victims to come forward.

"We are aware of media reporting of a series of allegations of sexual assault," it said in a statement to LADBible Group.

"At this time, we have not received any reports in relation to this. If anyone believes they have been the victim of a sexual assault, no matter how long ago it happened, we would encourage them to contact police."

"We spoke with The Sunday Times on Saturday, 16 September. We will be making further approaches to the Sunday Times and Channel 4 to ensure that any victims of crime who they have spoken with are aware of how they may report any criminal allegations to police."

But how will these allegations affect Brand's career?

As it stands, the comedian is continuing his Bipolarisation stand-up tour across the UK.

During his show on Saturday at Wembley's Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, Brand thanked fans for their support.

The theatre, which seats 2,000 people, was sold out and, at tickets being priced at £40 each, the 48-year-old will be raking in thousands of pounds a night.

Money isn't thought to be an issue to Brand though as the star's reported to be worth £16million, according to wealth website Celebrity Net Worth.

Brand's net worth could have been even larger if he'd decided to take some of ex-wife Katy Perry's income during their marriage.

The pair wed in 2010, but called things quits two years later.

Perry was reported to have made a staggering £35 million over the duration of their two-year marriage and, in light of them not signing any pre-nuptial agreements, Brand could have been entitled to half of that.

But during their divorce settlements, Brand declined to take any of the I Kissed A Girl hitmaker's money.

Over the course of his career, Brand has made his own money on his comedy tours, and has also starred in a series of huge Hollywood films such as Get Him to the Greek alongside Jonah Hill, Despicable Me, St. Trinian's and 2022's Death On The Nile.

Away from the film scene, Brand boasts six million subscribers on his YouTube channel, and 2.3 million followers on TikTok.

On average, a YouTuber earns around $0.018 for each view and, with Brand's videos raking in hundreds of thousands of views on the platform he'll be making a fair amount of money.

His recent video on President Joe Biden has 248,000 views at the time of writing, meaning the comedian could have made more than $4,000 for just one clip in three days.
