Per Celebrity Net Worth, Jonathan Van Ness has a net worth of around $5 million. Being best known for his role on "Queer Eye," it's safe to assume that his net worth has increased noticeably since 2018, when Netflix's "Queer Eye" remake began.
Van Ness has been making great strides in recent years, but it hasn't always been so plain-sailing for the TV star. He spoke to The Advocate about his experiences growing up openly gay in a small town in the Midwest, which led to bullying from peers and subsequent trauma. Van Ness has also revealed that he lives with H.I.V. and that he turned to drugs earlier in his life, before finding fame on "Queer Eye" (via The New York Times).
Since then, however, Van Ness has stayed away from substances – just drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis – and has gone from being a hairdresser to becoming one of the most recognizable faces on TV, but still finding the time for his hairdressing work too. If you want a haircut from the star, you'll have to pay good money – but it's probably worth it.
