RuPaul’s richest drag queens, ranked: from Trixie Mattel to Bianca Del Rio, which Drag Race star has the highest net worth?
- Courtney Act appeared in Australian Idol, won Celebrity Big Brother UK, hosted reality dating show The Bi Life – and was an American Apparel Ad Girl
- Alyssa Edwards got her own Netflix series Dancing Queen and Bianca Del Rio appeared in West End musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie
With over a decade of Drag Race success and sequins under his belt (or is it boa?) RuPaul has taken drag mainstream, bringing the formerly fringe subculture and performance art form into the homes of millions of adoring fans around the world.
So who are the wealthiest queens to have ever shantayed (and sashayed) down the show’s famous catwalk? Here are five of them …
1. Trixie Mattel: US$10 million
When it comes to capitalising on the show’s potential for prosperity, no queen can top Trixie Mattel. Besides winning over the fandom with her natural charm and quick-witted humour, Mattel has seized opportunities with idiosyncratic style and iconic make-up.
From launching a music career to starring in TV shows and bagging endorsement deals, Mattel has seen her personal wealth skyrocket to an estimated US$10 million.
