Orlando Brown is in the industry for two decades, starting his journey at 14. But he didn’t receive the fame that he should have due to various legal cases and controversies.
Reliable sources like Wikipedia and IMDB estimate Orlando’s net worth to be around $2 million. Most of his income is generated from his acting endeavors, totaling over $500,000. Despite earning so much throughout his career, he has not demonstrated financial responsibility. Maybe in the long run, he will transform positively, embracing a more prudent approach to secure a stable future for himself and his family.
Legal Troubles and Controversies
In February 2016, he was arrested in Torrance because he had a public fight with his girlfriend. The police charged him with hurting his girlfriend, trying to stop the police from doing their job and having drugs with the intention of selling them. Brown was held in Barstow in March when he didn’t go to court on the assigned date. Brown ran away to Nevada, but in April, he was caught by people who track down fugitives (called bounty hunters) in Las Vegas.
Unfortunately, Brown got into more trouble later in the year. In July, he was arrested again in Las Vegas after leaving a hotel where illegal activities like prostitution and drug deals happened. The police found him with meth (a dangerous drug) and a pipe used for smoking drugs. After spending a short time in rehab, Brown broke into a restaurant in Las Vegas. Finally, in December 2022, he was again arrested for hurting someone in Lima, Ohio. Brown was homeless then and reportedly threatened his brother with a knife and a hammer. As a result, he was put in jail in Allen County.
