BenDeLaCreme Net Worth $400,000
BenDeLaCreme was raised in Connecticut by his parents, but when he was 13 years old, his mother passed away from cancer, and he subsequently had a lot of problems with depression, and apparently started pursuing a career as a drag queen to overcome that. While he attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, from which he graduated with a BFA degree in Painting, he also began performing at local gay nightclubs.
So, his professional career began in 2002, when he made his drag debut appearance under his stage name BenDeLaCreme in drag revues at the nightclubs. He also began performing with the Chicago Kings troupe, all of which marked the beginning of his net worth.
Subsequently he started creating his own shows, in which he combined dancing, singing and burlesque performing, and became a part of The Atomic Bombshells burlesque troupe. In the mid-2000s, he also began working as a teacher at the Academy of Burlesque in Seattle. During that time, he collaborated with performers from the Seattle burlesque community, such as Jinkx Monsoon. Soon, he established his own theatrical production company called DeLouRue Presents, which creates various shows including his own show “Freedom Fantasia”, and another one entitled “Homo For The Holidays”, both of which added a considerable amount to his net worth.
To speak further about his career, BenDeLaCreme’s popularity grow enormously in 2013, when he competed in the sixth season of RuPaul’s reality competition series on LogoTV channel, entitled “RuPaul’s Drag Race”. He was eliminated in episode 11, but was named Miss Congeniality in episode 14, helping to further increasing his net worth.
Recently it has been announced that he will appear in the third season of the series “RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars” in 2018, which will certainly increase his net worth.
When it comes to speak about his personal life, BenDeLaCreme keeps it for himself, as there is no information in the media. In his spare time, he is an active member across many of the most popular social media platforms including his official account on Twitter and Instagram.
