Here's How Much Billy Porter Is Really Worth

So what is Billy Porter's net worth? The star of stage, screen, and the red carpet is worth approximately $4 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Part of that net worth, per the outlet, is undoubtedly due to his numerous Broadway and television appearances. Additionally, Porter has released multiple albums, which consist of Broadway standards, originals, and cover songs — and his stock appears to be rising.

The star is slated to appear in more films, including a live-action version of Cinderella due out 2021, per Insider, starring Camilla Cabello as Cinderella and Porter in an updated take on the fairy godmother role. Apparently, Idina Menzel is slated to play the evil stepmother. Okay, can't wait for this. Real estate-wise, per a 2014 interview with The New York Times, Porter lives in a two-bedroom apartment in Harlem with "floor to ceiling windows" and incredible views, alongside his husband, Adam Smith, who he has been married to since 2017, per Playbill.

The living arrangement is quite a change for Porter since, per The New York Times, for 13 years, he lived out of "three suitcases, 26 boxes and a chaise lounge." Yup, Porter even made financial hardship glamorous. "It was a really difficult down period. I actually had to file for bankruptcy in 2007," Porter told the outlet. "I bought my chaise lounge before I had a place to live." Well, Porter's chair certainly has a home now.
