How Much Is Lil Rel Howery Actually Worth?

Lil Rel Howery's net worth is estimated at $2 million by Celebrity Net Worth. Unfortunately for the television and movie star, professional success has coincided with multiple personal problems that went to court.

Stemming from an altercation in 2016, a pizza delivery driver filed a $50,000 lawsuit against the Bird Box actor in 2018, per the Capital Gazette. As he told the Chicago Tribune in September 2018, Howery refused to pay the plaintiff on principle. "I'm not going to pay somebody for them whooping my (expletive)," he told the outlet.

Howery was given his own self-titled sitcom, Rel, in 2018. As he told ShowbizzJunkies.com, the TV star would have made more money pursuing film projects, but he wanted to live out a dream of starring in his own show. The actor's character on Rel had a custody dispute with his ex-wife, which mirrored Howery's real life. Even though his divorce from Verina Robinson was finalized in 2017, she "filed paperwork seeking more child support to keep pace with Howery's current income" in 2018, per the Tribune. "It's weird. It's like money makes people do crazy things. And it's sad, actually," he told the publication.

In November 2019, Howery was involved in another custody issue that depleted his funds. An ex-lover claimed her child was Howery's, but also told another man that he was the father, as well. As covered by TMZ, Howery sought sole custody of the child when a paternity test proved the actor was the father.
