Gary Wayne Coleman's net worth has been identified at $75 thousand. He was well known for his appearance on the television sitcom called "Diff'rent Strokes", which he appeared in when he was a child actor.

It is reported that he hit hard financial times when his financial adviser mismanaged the funds that he gained during his childhood acting career. During his entire life, he had to file for bankruptcy to recoup his losses, and blames his family and accountants for losing much of his money. He later sued his family for losing his money and was awarded over a million dollars in a civil suit in court.
