Early Life & Education
Georges LeBar was born on January 24, 1973, and is currently 51 years old. He spent his childhood in Australia, where he was born, but his family has roots in Douglas, Wyoming, in the United States. Georges LeBar was born in Perth, Western Australia, and holds Australian citizenship.
In 1991, Georges LeBar finished his secondary education in Australia. Driven by a desire to expand his knowledge, he pursued studies in the fashion and design field in prominent cities such as New York, Paris, and Miami.
Career
Georges LeBar is a ranch owner, managing several thriving ranches. He also showcases his artistic abilities by freely sharing photos of his work on his Facebook page.
There is no denying his love for painting, and his skill in this area is beyond doubt. In addition to pursuing his artistic endeavors, Georges also takes care of numerous ranches, including a vast 6,000-acre estate in Wyoming.
His portfolio spans across state borders, consisting of a 2,972-acre ranch in Nebraska and a significant 6,280-acre property in South Dakota.
Aside from managing a ranch, RuPaul’s partner also takes on the role of an author, writing popular and engaging books while also making contributions to the world of art through painting in the US.
Two notable works in his collection, “Six Inches Way” and “Pillow Talk,” captured the attention of readers when they were released in October 2007.
Personal Life
In 1994, the first encounter between LeBar and RuPaul occurred on the dance floor of the now-defunct N.Y.C. nightclub, Limelight. This particular night was also significant as it marked LeBar’s 21st birthday.
Their connection was instant and it seemed like they were equally dedicated. Just a week after, RuPaul revealed in a now-deleted Instagram post that they were on Elton John‘s personal plane, traveling from London to Düsseldorf.
On January 24, 2017, which also happened to be LeBar’s birthday and the couple’s 23rd anniversary, they finally tied the knot at their home in the Los Angeles area after being together for over 20 years.
According to RuPaul’s interview with ET, their views on marriage changed after the 2016 presidential election, leading them to decide to get married.
“What’s happening politically right now, you know, you never know what could turn around at this point.”
RuPaul further added,
“We are devoted to each other. We don’t stand on ceremony. We thought we don’t have to get married. But then, in light of what’s happening currently in the world today, what’s happening in Washington, we thought, you know what? Let’s just do it, because there’s too much at stake with our businesses. So, that’s why we did it.”
Even though his husband has a job that is visible to the public, LeBar chooses not to have social media accounts that are accessible to the public. Besides occasionally accompanying his husband on the red carpet, LeBar is seldom seen in photographs.
Net Worth
Although the exact amount of Georges LeBar’s net worth is unknown, it is believed to range from $2 to $3 million as of 2022. In contrast, his partner RuPaul is estimated to have a fortune of $60 million, making him the most financially successful drag queen globally.
