😱 Will Smith’s $350M fortune is crumbling! The shocking fallout from his Chris Rock slap has left the star scrambling for cash—and you won’t believe what he’s forced to do now. What’s pushing him to the edge?

Will Smith’s $350 million fortune isn’t enough. Per reports, downsizing, estrangement, and post-slap backlash are taking a toll on his finances.

Will Smith may be the owner of a $350 million net worth (per Celebrity Net Worth, last updated Feb 27, 2025), but recent controversies don’t really seem to be helping him out with his finances. Per the latest reports, the actor is currently struggling with money.

According to insider sources’ claims, he and his estranged wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, have reportedly been downsizing their enormous property holdings. This includes them having listed their Woodland Hills home in March for $2 million, as well as his previous sale of a five-bedroom Maryland mansion for $795,000.

However, he is still reported to be struggling to foot the tremendous upkeep costs that are currently burning a major hole in his enormous bank account as his career dwindles. As sources claimed to RadarOnline.com in a report published on July 22,

They’re spending an absolute fortune maintaining the rest of their properties, and somewhere down the road it’s all going to fall to pieces. As rich as Will is, it’s getting harder to keep up with the enormous bills – especially with them not living together.

Ever since the two publicly announced their estrangement, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star has been living at a sprawling $45 million, 150-acre ranch in Calabasas. Pinkett, in the meantime, is said to reside in a house down the street. But now reports have it that this money issue appears to have started with his infamous Chris Rock slap at the Oscars a few years ago.

Will Smith’s Money Troubles Reportedly Started With His Chris Rock Slap

Fans must remember, back in 2022, Chris Rock cracked a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, not realizing that it was because of her alopecia hair-loss condition.

However, this didn’t sit all too well with Will Smith, who ended up smacking the Oscars presenter over his joke, resulting in his being banned from attending the respective awards ceremony by the Academy for over 10 years.

Since then, the actor’s career has reportedly slowed down. Even when last year’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die turned out to be a box office blockbuster with its $400.5 million worldwide box office gross on a $100 million budget (per The Numbers), sources claim that it has not made much of a difference for him.

Ever since Slapgate, it’s been a stream of money pouring out and very little coming in. Will’s not bringing in the kind of cash you’d expect to sustain the kind of lifestyle he and Jada enjoy.

If that wasn’t enough, the same source claimed that things are still yet to be resolved between Smith and Pinkett, and with the passage of time, “it’s looking more and more that they’ll make a permanent split.” Nonetheless, Bad Boy Smith is still on the hook for all the expenses, per the insider scoops.

That notorious Oscars slapgate appears to be taking a serious toll on Will Smith, and it’s not just on his lifestyle and finances. Even the actor’s career as an actor, film producer, and rapper is inevitably facing hardships because of the same.

As the source went on to claim to RadarOnline.com,

Everything he seems to do gets hammered, and he was torn to pieces over his music comeback. People hated his album and mocked his lyrics, calling them silly. It’s going to take more than a wing and a prayer to get Will out of this financial mess.

Well, ouch, because things seem to be going really sleazy for Smith, financially. But judging from his enormous talent, it shouldn’t take him much longer to get back on track.

What do you think? Could the actor be facing a permanent career and financial downfall, or will his genius brain rack some ideas to get back on everyone’s good side? Share with us!
