What is Orlando Brown's Net Worth and Salary?
Orlando Brown is an American actor, rap artist, and musician who has a net worth of $2 thousand. Orlando Brown is best known for his roles on the television sitcoms "Family Matters," "Two of a Kind," and "That's So Raven." He also voiced characters on the animated shows "Waynehead," "The Proud Family," and "Fillmore!" Starting in early 2016, Brown became entangled in a series of legal issues related to domestic battery, obstruction of justice, and illegal drug possession.
Legal Troubles
In February of 2016, Brown was arrested in Torrance, California, after having an altercation with his girlfriend in public. He was later charged with domestic battery, obstruction of justice, and drug possession with intent to sell. After failing to show up for his court date, he was taken into custody in Barstow in March. At this time, Brown faced new charges of domestic battery, resisting arrest, and drug possession. He once again failed to show up in court and fled to Nevada. Brown was eventually apprehended by bounty hunters in Las Vegas in April. A couple of months later, he was arrested again, this time after exiting a hotel known for prostitution and illegal drug transactions. During his refusal to cooperate, police found him in possession of meth and a pipe.
Brown got into further trouble in September of 2016 when he broke into Legends Restaurant & Venue in Las Vegas. This came after a brief stint in rehab that ended with Brown walking barefoot down the street, hauling a box of wine. Sometime later, in December of 2022, Brown was arrested again on domestic violence charges, this time in Lima, Ohio, where he was homeless. He had reportedly threatened his brother with a knife and a hammer. His brother told the police that he allowed Orlando to stay with him because he was homeless and didn't want him to go to a homeless shelter. But then Orlando reportedly began acting erratically in the house and threatened the brother physically. Brown was subsequently jailed in Allen County without bond.
