How much is the net worth of Barry Hankerson? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the outright size of his wealth is as much as $10 million, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017, accumulated from his more than 30 years in the entertainment industry.

Barry’s early life and education are largely unknown, except that he grew-up with his sister Diane. Concerning his professional career, he is known to have starred in the film “Pipe Dreams” (1976) written, produced and directed by Stephen F. Verona, before becoming involved in the music industry. He was a manager and producer of The Winans, and was also a percussionist on their albums “Let My People Go” (1985) and “Decisions” (1987). He also produced Ron Milner’s piece “Do Not Get God Started” in 1988, all of which contributed to his net worth.

Hankerson worked on a collaborative album with Drake from Young Money and Noah Shebib; the 16 track album came out by the end of 2012.

Barry supported Barack Obama during the presidential election, but this was also partly business, as he contributed to the organization of his campaigns, but produced a film about him too, entitled “The Obama Effect” (2012), directed by Charles S. Dutton and starring Katt Williams and Meagan Good. Somewhat amusingly, filming did not go completely smoothly as Katt was arrested after being mistaken for invading one of Hankerson’s houses near Newnan, Georgia, where he was staying during his time on the set.
