Russell Brand and Katy Perry were once one of the celebrity world’s “it” couples — but their relationship deteriorated as quickly as it began. The couple met in 2008 when Perry had a cameo on Get Him to the Greek. They only dated for four months before getting engaged, and they tied the knot in October 2011. Unfortunately, Brand announced their separation in December 2011. So, who has the higher net worth, Perry or Brand? Here’s what to know.

Russell Brand has worn many hats in the entertainment industry. He’s a comedian, actor, author, and radio host who’s known for his relationship with pop star Katy Perry. Brand got his start in the film industry in 2007 with his role in St. Trinian’s, and he made waves in 2008’s Forgetting Sarah Marshall as Aldous Snow. Two years later, he met Perry while filming Get Him to the Greek. He also appeared in Arthur, Rock of Ages, and Paradise and voice acted for Despicable Me, Hop, and Trolls.

As far as Brand’s writing career goes, he wrote his autobiography, My Booky Wook, in 2007. He then signed a two-book publishing deal and wrote Articles of Faith in 2008 and My Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal in 2010. In addition to several other books, Brand contributed as a columnist to The Guardian.

Today, he’s less known for his Hollywood roles and more known for his podcasts and commentaries. He speaks on The Russell Brand Podcast and Under the Skin with Russell Brand.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brand has a net worth of around $20 million currently. However, it’s unclear how his 2025 charges will affect his net worth. He was charged with one count of rape, one count of indecent assault, one count of oral rape, and two counts of sexual assault in 2025 following an investigation that began in 2023. Brand denies the allegations.

What is Katy Perry’s net worth in 2025?

Katy Perry was very in love with Russell Brand and incredibly hurt when their marriage didn’t work out. However, she’s thriving in 2025. She and Orlando Bloom sparked romance rumors in 2016 and have a daughter together today. She also has a significantly higher net worth than her ex. Perry’s net worth stands around $400 million in 2025, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Perry found great success in the music industry and beefed up her earnings by judging on American Idol. Album sales, merchandise, touring, and endorsements earned her up to $50 million annually from 2009 to 2014. From 2014 to 2015, she reportedly earned $135 million. Perry made $25 million per season of American Idol (except the first, in which she earned $15 million). She judged for seven seasons.

Perry heads to space in April 2025 on Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission. It’s unclear how much she’s being paid for the mission, but it’s likely adding to her net worth. The spaceflight will last approximately 11 minutes.

Did Katy Perry and Russell Brand have a prenuptial agreement?

Katy Perry and Russell Brand’s marriage didn’t last long. The couple tied the knot in October 2010 and finalized their divorce in July 2012. The couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, which could have resulted in a $20 million payout to Brand. However, Business Insider reports he didn’t seek money from Perry.

“Russell and Katy did NOT have a prenup,” a source told TMZ at the time. “As a result, everything they earned during their 14-month marriage is community property — which means they’re each entitled to 50% of the pot. This divorce is as amicable as it gets, and Russell was a mensch (Yiddish for a good person).”
