American R&B singer, songwriter, dancer, and actor,Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown has an estimated net worth of $30 million.

In November 2005, Chris Brown’s “Run It!” topped the Billboard Hot 100, making the then-16-year-old singer the first male artist in over a decade to top the chart with a debut single. The pop-oriented R&B vocalist has become one of the decade biggest pop stars, with a clutch of Top Ten singles and platinum albums to his credit, along with constant comparisons to Michael Jackson and several acting roles on the side.

His career slowed down in 2009, when he pleaded guilty to assaulting his girlfriend, recording artist Rihanna. It was one of the year’s biggest celebrity news stories. In January 2013, Rihanna and Brown confirmed that they have decided to rekindle their romance, but only to split in May of the same year.

Despite all the controversy and turmoil he had over two years, Chris Brown came out on top, earning his first #1 album of his career with F.A.M.E., released on March 18, 2011 by Jive Records. He was born Christopher Maurice Brown on May 5, 1989 in Tappahannock, Virginia, United States.
