People of a certain age associate Joey Lawrence with one thing, and it's the hit show Blossom. This wacky sitcom premiered on NBC in 1990 and ran for five glorious seasons. Joey starred as one of the brothers to the titular Blossom, played by Mayim Bialik, and was the focus of many a teenage girl's crush. He had a small but mighty catchphrase which was simply exclaiming "Whoah!" at random moments throughout the series.
Like many heartthrobs in the 1990s, Joey was a bit of a Renaissance man who dabbled in other areas of the entertainment industry. Unfortunately his career has suffered many slings and arrows. Did his days as a Tiger Beat magazine centerfold earn him enough to live comfortably as an adult? Let's take a look at Joey Lawrence's net worth.
Sadly, Joey Lawrence's net worth is closer to no than whoa.
Celebrity Net Worth reports that Joey Lawrence's net worth is a wee bit on the low side, at $250,000. While that's certainly not a paltry amount of money, it's not reflective of a person who has been working in Hollywood since the early 1980s. After getting his start on television in popular shows like Diff'rent Strokes and Silver Spoons, Joey got his big break on the hit show Gimme a Break! in 1983.

A couple of years after landing his first main role, Joey pivoted to film. He had a small part in John Candy's Summer Rental, while continuing to carve out a space on the small screen. Things didn't pop until 1990 when Joey found himself on Blossom, which allowed him to break into music. His self-titled debut album was released in February 1993 when Joey was only 16 years old. He wouldn't return to music for another 18 years.
According to documents obtained by The Blast, Joey and his ex-wife Chandie Lawrence filed for bankruptcy in July 2017. "Lawrence listed assets totaling $43,907.32 and liabilities in the amount of $355,517.27," per the documents. After all was said and done, he ended up owing $18,539.35 per month, every month. Three of his cars were repossessed as Joey was selling items like purses and wallets on eBay. Here's hoping the podcast he launched in 2023 with his two brothers can sort things out.
