British comedian, actor, producer, and health guru Russell Brand has built a fortune from his many endeavors in show business. Despite being embroiled in multiple controversies, he has had a great career thanks to his outspoken nature, bad-boy reputation, and comic skills.
The comedian who married pop star Katy Perry got his start as a radio broadcaster and presenter for BBC long before he became Hollywood’s go-to funny man with an accent.
Brand, now 48, took a break from the spotlight to focus on self-improvement after his stint in Hollywood. After 20 years of sobriety, Russell now utilizes his story of recovery from addiction to advocate for topics he is passionate about. However, since leaving Hollywood, how does Russell Brand now support himself?
