Harmony Korine Net Worth $3 million
Growing up, Harmony would develop an interest in films thanks to his father who was a documentary producer; he watched theatre productions, circuses, and carnivals. He attended Hillsboro High School and later moved to New York City. He continued frequenting productions and would later study Business Administration. He also studied Dramatic Writing at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts for one semester before dropping out.
Harmony’s first project was the film “Kids” – starring Rosario Dawson and Chloe Sevigny both in their first movie roles – about the drug and sex filled lives of teenagers in Manhattan during the AIDS crisis; it received mixed reviews though it later developed into a cult film. Afterwards, Korine was given funding to produce the film “Gummo” which only had five experienced actors during production. Despite rejections by mainstream critics, the film would win top prizes at the Venice Film Festival, and it would also earn a cult classic status. In 1998 he worked on “The Diary of Anne Frank Pt II” which further disgusted critics and established his reputation for shocking scenes. At this point, his net worth was slowly building up.
Korine’s next project would be “Julien Donkey- Boy” which is about a man suffering from untreated schizophrenia; once again the film achieved cult status. Harmony then went on to appear in “The Devil, The Sinner, and His Journey”, then wrote the script for “Ken Park” though he had no involvement during the production. He also started working with David Blaine, beginning with 2003’s “Above the Below” in which Blaine was suspended in a Plexiglas box – he has since worked with the street magician on numerous productions. His next film would be “Mister Lonely” which was a film with around an $8 million budget, which received mixed reviews and performed poorly in the box office. In 2007, he would take part in the documentary “Beautiful Losers” which focused on his career and life.
2009 saw the premiere of the film “Trash Humpers” which went on to win a top award during the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival. He also released the short film “Umshini Wam” two years later. One of his latest projects is the drama “Spring Breakers” which starred Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, James Franco, and Vanessa Hudgens; the film was appreciated by reviewers, unlike many of his previous works.
Aside from his films, Harmony has also written a number of books, and photographic collections. He has also directed several commercials and music videos throughout his career, even co-writing songs. The numerous opportunities presented to him have helped increase his net worth.
For his personal life, it is known that Korine had a relationship with Chloe Sevigny in the late-1990s. Later, he would meet and eventually marry actress Rachel Simon Korine, in 2007: they have a child.
