Corey Feldman is certainly a very intriguing guy. He has been famous for forty years. She starred in some of the biggest films of the 1980s and was undoubtedly one of the most famous celebrities of the time.
Between 1984 and 1990, he starred in song after song without fail: "Gremlins”, "The Goonies”, "Stand by Me”, "The Lost Boys”, "License to Drive”, "The ‘Burbs”, "Dream a Little Dream”, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” (he voiced Donatello). What a race! What a resume.
Obviously, his career began to decline in the 1990s, but Corey still managed to stay relevant and working all these years later.
There’s a natural curiosity about Corey’s finances after all these years. And in fact, Corey has directly addressed his peak wealth in several interviews. According to Corey, when he was 15 years old, around 1986, his net worth was $1 million. That’s the same as being worth it. $3 million today. At that time, he sought emancipation from his parents. When emancipation was granted, only $40,000 of his former fortune remained.
As for his most recent financial situation, we actually learned quite a few current details thanks to his divorce from Courtney Anne Mitchell…

Corey Marriage Story
Corey actually has a surprisingly impressive marriage history. Do you know Vanessa Marcil? She is the beautiful actress who is probably best known for starring in "Las Vegas” and "90210,” but she will always have a special place in my heart for playing the beautiful, pregnant, Catholic wife of Agent Stanley Goodspeed in the 1996 classic "The Rock.”
Corey and Vanessa not only dated, BUT WERE MARRIED between 1989 and 1993. In fact, I’m running out of Getty Images downloads right now. But I couldn’t resist taking a photo of Corey and Vanessa in 1992. I mean, come on:

In October 2002, Corey married an equally stunning woman named Susie Sprague in a ceremony that was filmed as the final episode of the first season of "The Surreal Life” and was officiated by MC Hammer. As one does it. They had a child together before separating in 2009. Perhaps as a preview of things to come, their divorce took FIVE YEARS to finalize.
Sometime around 2015, Corey began dating the woman who would become his third wife, Courtney Anne Mitchell. Their relationship first became public when they appeared on a season four episode of "Celebrity Wife Swap.” And as you can see from the photo at the top of this article, most men would have been very happy to swap wives with Corey. Although they tell me in the TV series, nothing funny actually happens between the exchange partners.
At the time of the wife swap, Corey led a women’s group he called "Corey’s Angels.” Courtney was one of the Angels. I never really understood what the point of this effort was. They appeared occasionally on the "Today” show and in various radio interviews. Was he trying to make them a famous girl group? Do you have songs and videos on YouTube/Spotify? Honestly, I don’t have the strength to look for it.
Corey and Courtney were married on November 22, 2016 in Las Vegas. This union ended in late 2023. Mitchell officially filed for divorce in March 2024, citing irreconcilable differences. In his filing, he requested spousal support and attorney fees.
Divorce exposes finances
When Courtney Anne Mitchell filed for divorce in March 2024, the process opened a rare window into Corey Feldman’s true financial situation.
In her initial presentations, Courtney painted a bleak picture. He claimed he had lost his barista job, had no car, moved between friends’ houses and had accumulated more than $20,000 in medical debt related to chronic health problems. She argued that the $2,000 Corey had been voluntarily sending her each month was insufficient and asked the court to increase support to $5,000 per month. Her legal team emphasized that she had supported Corey emotionally and professionally for years and now found herself without significant income.
The documents presented by Corey told a dramatically different story.
He claimed to have only $34,000 in the bank, no real estate, approximately $200,000 owed to the IRS, and additional credit card debt. He listed monthly expenses totaling nearly $17,000, including $5,000 for medical care, $2,000 for groceries, $2,000 for dining out, $1,500 for car expenses and several other recurring costs.
The biggest discrepancy centered on income. Courtney alleged that Corey could make up to $280,000 a month from convention appearances, cameo videos, merchandise sales, and a $700,000 documentary payday in 2020. Corey responded that those numbers represented isolated spikes, not sustainable income. He said his earnings in 2023 were $78,946 and claimed that from 2016 to 2024, he earned $179,852 cumulatively. He also maintained that after agents, managers, lawyers and taxes, fees for convention appearances were significantly reduced. Regarding the residue of his catalog of hits from the 1980s, he stated in court documents:
"I don’t receive any residuals that add anything significant to my income or savings.”
Divorce agreement 2026
The financial tug-of-war officially ended last week, when a Los Angeles judge approved their divorce settlement.
Under the terms of the settlement, Corey agreed to pay Courtney a $100,000 lump sum in spousal support. The payment structure calls for $10,000 within five days of executing the agreement, followed by $10,000 installments every two months until the full amount is satisfied.
Corey also remains liable for IRS debt stemming from 2021, which court documents indicate he has been paying.
In terms of assets, he was allowed to keep a 2016 BMW, a 2021 Mercedes-Benz, a 2013 Coachmen Mirada motor home, five shares of Tesla stock (worth about $2,000), and his collection of Michael Jackson memorabilia.
