On May 16, it was reported by major newspapers around the world, including The Guardian, that 67-year-old magician David Copperfield was involved in a sexual assault case. The reported assaults took place over the course of three decades, with 16 victims speaking out. Over half of the victims stated they were assaulted between the ages of 15 and 18.
Despite his numerous impressive performances, including making the Statue of Liberty vanish and walking through the Great Wall of China, David Copperfield’s most remarkable accomplishment is the immense fortune he has amassed throughout his successful three-decade career as one of the most renowned magicians in history.
According to Forbes, after years of touring the world, Copperfield’s estimated net worth is now around $1 billion. During his peak years, he earned an annual income of $40 – $60 million, primarily from his performances at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. In 2018, Copperfield officially became a billionaire and continues to hold the title of the wealthiest magician in the world.
Copperfield’s substantial wealth has enabled him to acquire a vast array of magic tools and a significant real estate portfolio, which includes 11 islands in the Bahamas. Amongst his properties is a luxurious resort that boasts a minimum four-night stay requirement and nightly rental costs that can reach up to $50,000.
Apart from his Bahamas properties, Copperfield also possesses a $18 million mansion in Nevada and a lavish four-story apartment in New York City, estimated to be worth around $60 million.
David Copperfield, born David Seth Kotkin, entered the world on September 16, 1956, in Metuchen, New Jersey. From a young age, he delved into the world of magic and achieved a remarkable feat by becoming the youngest member to ever join the Society of American Magicians at just 12 years old.
