Larry’s net worth is estimated to be about $3million as of 2023.
He gained most of his net worth through his work as a photographer, real estate investments and other ventures.

What has Larry Birkhead said about Anna Nicole Smith?
Reflecting on Anna Nicole, Larry told ABC News: “The thing about Anna was … it was almost like a split personality.
“Because when the camera was going, she was a whole different thing … that was more, to me, an act than it was the real person, who she was.”
He’s also commented on rumors that he and Dannielynn are hoping to inherit some of Anna Nicole’s estate.
He said: “If Dannielynn is to inherit anything via her mom that she was entitled to, so be it, but it’s not like we’re sitting around waiting for one thing to happen.”
