What Is Brett Ratner’s Net Worth? Director Accused Of Sexual Assault

Hollywood mogul Brett Ratner was accused of sexual assault and harassment by six women in a new report by the Los Angeles Times Wednesday. Ratner initially amassed his fortune as a successful director and later, as a producer. The 48-year-old is now worth at least $75 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

The women, including actress Olivia Munn, detailed how Ratner allegedly masturbated in front of them, forced one of them to perform oral sex on him and spoke to them non-consensually in detail about sexual acts.

“It feels as if I keep going up against the same bully at school who just won't quit,” Munn told the LA Times. “You just hope that enough people believe the truth and for enough time to pass so that you can't be connected to him anymore.”

Ratner denied the accusations in a letter sent to the LA Times through his lawyer.

“I have represented Mr. Ratner for two decades, and no woman has ever made a claim against him for sexual misconduct or sexual harassment,” said Singer. “Furthermore, no woman has ever requested or received any financial settlement from my client.”

None of the women had approached the police.

Ratner started off directing music videos before his first big-hit 1998’s “Rush Hour,” starring Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. After gaining fame and success as a director, Ratner became a movie and television producer and financier. Ratner cofounded an entertainment company called RatPac Entertainment in 2012 — the company teamed up with now-Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin’s company to sign a lucrative financing deal with Warner Brother’s worth $450 million.

The accusations come on the heels of New York Times and New Yorker investigations that unveiled decades of accusations of sexual harassment and assault against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. Since the initial reports, dozens of women, encouraged by each other, have come forward about Weinstein and other powerful men in Hollywood and other industries. Director James Toback, who Ratner called a friend, has been accused of sexual misconduct by at least 300 women, according to the LA Times.
