Brandon T. Jackson Net Worth $4 Million
Jackson is one of nine children, of Wayne Timothy Jackson and Beverly Yvonne Bozeman, both of whom are pastors along with his maternal grandfather, so he grew up under a very religious household. Even as a child, he was already a comic, being dubbed the âclass clownâ and performing in talent shows in school as well as during youth nights in his fatherâs church. By the age of 14, he was invited to perform in Detroitâs âMotor City Youth Festivalâ, and made an appearance in the movie âNikita Bluesâ. He then became a guest on radio at his local radio station but upon graduating from West Bloomfield High School, he moved to Hollywood to pursue his acting career. This was a start to helping his net worth rise.
Initially he became an extra in movies such as âAliâ, âBowling for Columbineâ and â8 Mileâ and soon after, joined the comedy club Laughter Factory, where he opened for famous comedians Chris Tucker and Wayne Brady. He then landed appearances on TV shows such as âShowtime at the Apolloâ and âComicviewâ. He was also a cast member of Nick Cannonâs âWild âN Outâ, along with other comedians, and hosted one episode of the âBrandon T. Jackson Showâ which aired on The N channel. Again, his net worth benefited.
His acting career finally took off when he was cast in the movie âRoll Bounceâ in 2005, for which he won Black Reel’s 2006 Best Breakthrough Performance award. He soon gained prominence for his role as Alpha Chino in the all-star cast movie âTropic Thunderâ. He recently played a satyr named Grover Underwood in the movie series âPercy Jackson & the Olympians: the Lightning Thiefâ and âPercy Jackson & the Olympians: The Sea of Monstersâ, which grossed nearly $430 million at the worldwide box office. His other successful movie credits include âBig Mommas: Like Father, Like Sonâ, âLottery Ticketâ, âTooth Fairyâ, and âThunderstruckâ. All these appearances contributed to his net worth.
Brandon has also taken part in TV series such as âMr. Robinsonâ, âCalifornicationâ, and âDeadbeatâ, and lent his voice in the animated series âBoJack Horsemanâ. He recently co-hosted the 2016 Super Bowl Gospel Celebration with Adrienne Bailon, and will appear in upcoming movies âGet a Jobâ, âIzzy Gets a F*ck Across Townâ, âThe Year of Spectacular Menâ, and âEloiseâ. His net worth continued to rise.
In addition, he does a bit of rapping on the side, recording songs for the soundtrack of his movies âTropic Thunderâ and âBig Mommas: Like Father, Like Sonâ. He also produced short films âDark Moonâ and âBig Tweetâ which he starred in. His net worth is still growing.
In his personal life, Jackson currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia and is a single father to his daughter.
