Sean Kingston’s Net Worth Now
Amid legal and financial issues, Sean’s current net worth stands at $400,000, according to Celebrity Net Worth. But that could change since the rapper was sentenced to three and a half years in prison after being convicted in his $1 million fraud scheme.
Is Sean Kingston Going to Jail?
Multiple outlets have reported that Sean and his mother were facing up to 20 years in prison. However, he was sentenced to three and a half years in prison in August 2025, while Janice was sentenced to five years one month prior.
In May 2024, Sean and Janice were arrested and accused of stealing almost $500,000 in jewelry, more than $200,000 from Bank of America, more than $100,000 from First Republic Bank, $160,000 from a Cadillac Escalade dealer and nearly $90,000 from a mattress firm between October 2023 and March 2024.
Sean and Janice were both charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud. In March 2025, a jury found Sean and Janice guilty of all five charges of fraud. After the verdict was read in a Florida courtroom, Janice was immediately taken into custody, and Sean was placed under house arrest until his sentencing, with bond conditions of $200,000. Additionally, Sean must put up a family member’s home worth $500,000 as part of the bond requirement, according to The New York Post.
