What is Orlando Brown’s Net Worth and Salary?

Orlando Brown, an American actor, rapper, and musician, holds a net worth of $2 thousand. He is predominantly recognized for his performances in television sitcoms such as “Family Matters,” “Two of a Kind,” and “That’s So Raven.” Additionally, he lent his voice to characters in animated series like “Waynehead,” “The Proud Family,” and “Fillmore!” However, in early 2016, Brown found himself embroiled in various legal controversies concerning domestic battery, obstruction of justice, and illegal drug possession.

Legal Troubles

In February 2016, following a public altercation with his girlfriend in Torrance, California, Brown was arrested. He faced charges that included domestic battery, obstruction of justice, and drug possession with intent to sell. When he failed to attend his scheduled court appearance, authorities apprehended him in Barstow in March, where he was confronted with additional charges of domestic battery, resisting arrest, and drug possession. Shortly after, he evaded capture and fled to Nevada, but he was ultimately caught by bounty hunters in Las Vegas the following April. Just a few months later, he faced arrest again, this time after leaving a hotel notorious for prostitution and drug dealings. During the police encounter, Brown was found to possess meth and a drug pipe, refusing to comply with the authorities.

His legal woes escalated in September 2016 when he broke into Legends Restaurant & Venue in Las Vegas, shortly after a brief rehab stint that ended with him walking barefoot down the street carrying a box of wine. Subsequently, in December 2022, Brown faced additional issues in Lima, Ohio, where he was homeless. He allegedly threatened his brother with a knife and hammer. His brother informed law enforcement that he had offered Orlando shelter, hoping to prevent him from entering a homeless facility. However, Orlando reportedly began exhibiting erratic behaviors and threatened his brother, leading to his incarceration in Allen County without bond.
