What is Wade Robson’s net worth and salary?
Wade Robson, an Australian dancer, choreographer, director, and composer, has a net worth of $1 million. He has directed music videos and tours for famous artists like Britney Spears and NSYNC. He also hosted the MTV show “The Wade Robson Project” in 2003 and appeared as a guest judge and choreographer on the Fox series “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2007.
Robson gained notoriety for his involvement in the Michael Jackson child sexual abuse trial. He subsequently filed a civil lawsuit alleging that Jackson molested him as a child.
Robson’s love for dance began as a child when he performed with a group of dancers from Johnny Young’s Talent School. He specialized in imitating Michael Jackson and won a Michael Jackson dancing competition at the age of five. This led to him meeting Jackson and eventually visiting him at Neverland Ranch. It was during one of these visits that Wade alleges Jackson sexually abused him for the first time when he was just seven years old. The abuse reportedly continued for many years. Wade began teaching dance classes in Hollywood when he was 11 years old and started choreographing professionally at 14.
Early Life and Career of Wade Robson
Wade Robson was born in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia in 1982. He joined Johnny Young’s Talent School as a youth, and immigrated to the United States with his mother and sister at the age of nine, with the help of Michael Jackson. Robson appeared in Jackson’s music videos for “Black or White,” “Jam,” and “Heal the World,” and by age 11, he had an agent and formed the hip-hop duo Quo. He also began teaching dance classes in Hollywood and formed a children’s dancing troupe that performed worldwide. At 14, Robson started his first choreography job for Immature, but clients were often hesitant to take direction from someone so young.

Wade Robson’s Allegations Against Michael Jackson
At age five, Wade Robson met Michael Jackson during the singer’s tour of Australia. Two years later, Jackson invited Robson’s family to stay with him at Neverland Ranch during their visit to the US. In 2005, Robson testified in Jackson’s defense during the singer’s trial for sexual abuse, claiming that Jackson had never touched him inappropriately. Jackson was acquitted.
In 2013, Robson reversed his position and claimed that Jackson had sexually molested him during two visits to the US between the ages of seven and 14. He filed a $1.5 billion civil suit against Jackson’s estate, but the case was dismissed in 2015 due to missing the statutory deadline following Jackson’s death. The allegations of both Robson and another man, James Safechuck, are detailed in the 2019 documentary “Leaving Neverland.”
