EXCLUSIVE: Porn star Ron Jeremy had amassed $4MILLION fortune while living in squalor in one of his four Hollywood condos before sexual assault charges
Disgraced porn star Ron Jeremy sat on a $4 million fortune while living in utter squalor leading up to his sexual assault allegations, DailyMail.com can reveal.
The former adult entertainer, 70, who was charged in 2020 on 30 counts of sexual assault after being accused by 21 victims – some of whom were as young as 15 – was awaiting trial only to be found incompetent earlier this year.
Now, court documents obtained by DailyMail.com regarding a recent inventory and appraisal of Jeremy’s estate show that he had amassed a fortune with $660,000 in cash assets and nearly $3.4 million in real estate in March.
Jeremy was one of the most famous male porn stars in the world. He even hosted the Ron Jeremy Exxtica in 2012 where he posed with scantily clad women

In 2021, DailyMail.com published photos showing the adult film star had been living in absolute filth in a cockroach-infested apartment in Hollywood’s Franklin Towers, where he owns a total of four condominiums.
The adult film star’s legacy was marred by allegations of rape in 2020
According to documents, Jeremy owned three units in that building, located on the 7200 block of Franklin Ave, adjacent to Runyon Canyon, and one block north of the famous Hollywood Boulevard, together valued at $1.8 million.
Disturbing footage showed Jeremy’s living room filled with dozens of boxes, while the kitchen was filled with paperwork, used candles and empty bottles.
There was barely enough room to move in the apartment because of the mess that was on the floor and black with dirt.
He owned another apartment just 11 minutes away, on Barham Blvd near the Hollywood Reservoir, valued at another $1.6 million.
At the time of the appraisal, the infamous porn actor had five different bank accounts — including one with $550,815 — totaling $666,191.14 in cash.

A visitor to his home told DailyMail.com: “There was garbage piled up, old porn memorabilia in overflowing boxes. His kitchen table looked like an unkempt outdoor porch, there were plants that had grown around the table legs into the floor.
Disturbing footage showed clutter and trash in nearly every room of the apartment

He would hear his fate in court until he was declared mentally unfit to stand trial, after being found in a state of ‘incurable neurocognitive decline’ in February this year due to Lewy body dementia.
His trial was stayed in March 2022 after he failed to recognize his lawyer and appeared to be having a nervous breakdown.
Instead, he was remanded to a secure mental health facility instead of prison and will spend his remaining years there
In the weeks that followed, Jeremy and his estate went into receivership, along with his sister, Susan Billotte, of Denver, and professional fiduciary Ellen Finkelberg selected as temporary trustee in March.
Finkelberg was later formally appointed in June and is now in permanent charge of Jeremy’s financial and personal affairs.

Last year, a documentary broadcast by Britain’s Channel 4 network revealed the extent of Jeremy’s mental decline and how he had struggled to write his own name leading up to his trial.
The Channel 4 footage also showed that every inch of Jeremy’s house was covered in piles of paper and random objects, such as a ukulele case on top of a pile of cardboard boxes, towels and plastic bags.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the charges against Jeremy included 12 counts of forced rape, seven counts of forced oral copulation, six counts of sexual assault, and two counts of penetration while the victim was asleep or unconscious.
Jeremy was charged with four counts of sexual penetration by a foreign object and two counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious or sleeping person.
Further charges included a charge of lewd acts with a child under the age of 15, sodomy by force and assault with intent to commit rape.
Los Angeles Attorney General George Gascón said Jeremy’s alleged assaults took place over the course of more than 23 years and involved 21 victims between the ages of 15 and 51.
