Todrick Hall’s Net Worth And How He Amassed It

Todrick Hall’s Net Worth And How He Amassed It

August 17, 2020 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

Whether you know him as the resident choreographer on RuPaul’s Drag Race, remember his iconic American Idol audition, or date all the way back as an OG fan of his YouTube beginnings, you’ve heard of Todrick Hall. Todrick Hall had humble beginnings, growing up in a farming community in Plainview, Texas.

With a lot of hard work and perseverance, Todrick carved a space for himself in show business in spite of the discrimination he faced as a gay Black man. Now, you wouldn’t believe Todrick Hall’s rising net worth.

While Todrick Hall’s wеаlth hаѕ соmе frоm a number of sources, hіѕ саrееr іn muѕіс аnd thе fіlm іnduѕtrу were major factors. Не has also released multірlе аlbumѕ, wrote and produced an original musical, and operates a wildly popular YоuТubе channel. Put together, this mosaic of activity has caused Todrick Hall’s net worth to surge.

Given his rapid rise to stardom, he’s an inspiration for anyone inside or outside the LGBTQ+ community. Read on to learn more about Todrick Hall’s music, career, and everything that helped him build up his fame and fortune.

Todrick Hall’s Net Worth

Todrick Hall has embarked on a number of creative endeavors. Although he has been singing and dancing his whole life, he would not start building a serious career until 2005 when he first hit the Broadway stage.

From there, Todrick would go on to write his own music and productions while choreographing for the stars. The diversity and range of his talents have helped him to amass an impressive net worth of $4.5 million while he’s still in his mid-30s.

Todrick has stacked his paper a number of ways, including through:

  • YouTube monetization, where he has over 3.5 million subscribers and 600 million views
  • Paid appearances in movies and TV shows
  • Sales of his music albums
  • Royalties from individual songs
  • Income from his MTV docuseries called “Todrick” that debuted in 2015
  • Tickets sold to his Straight Outta Oz musical tour
  • Choreography gigs – Todrick is a resident choreographer on Rupaul’s Drag Race and provides choreography for other prominent online and offline events
  • Advertising deals, such as those on his popular Instagram channel where he has 1.8 million followers

Given that most millionaires have at least seven different streams of income, it’s not surprising to see that Todrick Hall does as well.

Todrick Hall’s Career

Every artist has their sources of inspiration, and Todrick Hall is no exception! He credits his creativity to his childhood obsessions with Walt Disney princesses and everything related to The Wizard of Oz. In later years, he would source inspiration from big hitters in pop music like Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and Rihanna.

Early Days: Oz, the Musical

Back in his Texas days at the young age of 17, Todrick Hall began to envision a musical stage production based on his beloved Wizard of Oz. Learning that the production rights were too expensive didn’t stop him. Armed with the information that the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, is part of the public domain, Todrick set to work.

He filled his cast with kids from the surrounding areas who had the same passion for singing and dancing that he did as a child. After several local productions, a Dallas investor stepped in to help Todrick take his musical all over Texas. Although it didn’t succeed as hoped, Oz, the Musical gave Todrick valuable experience in stage production, music writing, and choreography.

Broadway with Fantasia Barrino

At the age of 20, Todrick auditioned to be part of Oprah Winfrey’s Broadway adaptation of The Color Purple starring Fantasia Barrino. He got a role in the ensemble and acted as the understudy for the character, Harpo. While he loved the experience, he knew that being in the background of a Broadway play wouldn’t bring him the fame he desired.

YouTube Stardom

In 2006, Todrick Hall joined the video-sharing platform, YouTube. He posted covers, skits, flashmobs, and original music, posting over 300 videos in the span of about 15 years. Some of his most popular videos are his flashmobs to Beyonce and Ariana Grande songs, which even got the attention of the pop queens, themselves!

By 2019, Todrick Hall amassed over 3 million YouTube followers. In addition to YouTube, you can find Todrick Hall’s music on streaming apps like Spotify and Apple Music.

Season 9 of American Idol

In 2009, Todrick Hall auditioned for Season 9 of American Idol, winning over the judges with an original song he wrote about why they should give him a shot. Everyone on the judge’s panel–except for Simon Cowell, that is–found the song endearing and Todrick’s voice impeccable.

Simon Cowell would hang onto his doubt in Todrick for the rest of the season. Todrick went home as a semi-finalist and on his last night as a contestant, Cowell told him that he’d never amount to anything but a Broadway actor. Fortunately for all of us, but especially for Todrick, Cowell was wrong.

Albums

Todrick Hall’s music is fun, upbeat, and inspired by pop and the world of drag. He has three studio albums along with a handful of EP’s, one of which (Haus Party, Pt. 3) is soon to drop.

Todrick’s second studio album, Straight Outta Oz, is a visual album that was released in 2016. Todrick states that he was inspired to create a visual album by major works like Beyonce’s visual album, Lemonade.

His most recent release was the EP, Quarantine Queen, featuring songs that pay homage to the social distancing practices of 2020.

Rupaul’s Drag Race

Todrick’s first appearance on RuPaul’s Drag Race in 2016 as a guest judge on the eighth season. Ironically, Todrick was there for an entire Wizard of Oz themed challenge even though RuPaul did not know at the time that Todrick was a huge fan.

Todrick would later return to the show as a judge and as a resident choreographer. He is often involved in some of the final and most difficult challenges the contestants face. The queens know that when Todrick is there, they’re in for some serious dancing.

Status as a Swiftie

Todrick Hall has long been a self-proclaimed “Swiftie,” the pet name given to the Taylor Swift fandom. In addition to being a big fan and supporter of her work, Todrick is also Taylor Swift’s friend!

In fact, Taylor gives Todrick credit for her vocalization of her allyship to the LGBTQ+ community. While Taylor was never outspoken about her views in the early years of her career, she assumed they were implicit. However, after a conversation with Todrick in which he asked her how she would feel if she had a gay son, she realized that her support needed to be much louder.

You can find Todrick in Taylor’s music video for “You Need to Calm Down,” which Todrick co-executive produced.

Todrick Hall’s Net Worth and Rapid Rise to Stardom

Todrick Hall’s net worth proves that no matter where you start or what life throws at you, you should pursue your dreams.

His life also proves that it’s important to get creative about how to directly deliver your art—or your product or your message—to your audience. Not only will this remove the gatekeepers, but it’ll let you keep a bigger share of the profits.

With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the With anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans legislation on the rise, I have enormous RESPECT for people for are taking action to support our communities. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Putting this into action are Dr @EricCervini, an author and historian, and his partner @Adam_Powell. Together they will be driving a bus full of banned #queerbooks across the U.S., starting this summer! 

I absolutely love this idea—and can't wait for them to swing by Virginia! 

From an article shared on XtraMagazine.com:

“With LGBTQ2S+ books under attack in the U.S. at record rates, author Eric Cervini and his boyfriend, actor Adam Powell, knew they wanted to take action. While others are organizing with protests, drag queen story hours, days of reading and other important acts of resistance, Cervini and Powell have their own spin on what to contribute to the movement—and that spin has wheels.

The pair are working on buying, then building, what they call the Rainbow Book Bus, a bookmobile carrying queer and trans books to small towns. 

After reaching their crowdfunding goal of USD $100,000 at the end of December, Cervini and Powell are now able to pay a specialized company to retrofit a school bus to become a beacon of queer literature. 

‘Our goal is to have at least an early version of it ready by Pride [in June],’ Cervini tells Xtra. ‘We want to have a bus that is converted—it may not be fully decked out, but it will be functioning as a travelling book shop/book fair—in the summer of 2023.’”

If you'd like them to visit your town, share it in comments! 🌈🚌

It was actually their 52nd, because we had to postpone it twice due to Covid! 🌊🏖🐟
