💰 Net worth: $8 million (2024)
David Sweat's net worth is estimated to be $8 million in 2024. However, it is important to note that David Sweat is not a wealthy figure due to legitimate means. On the contrary, he gained infamy as a notorious criminal in New York. Sweat, along with his accomplice Richard Matt, embarked on an audacious prison escape in 2015 that captivated the nation. Following a massive manhunt, Sweat was captured and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Despite his criminal notoriety, it is unfortunate that his actions have seemingly resulted in a modest fortune.
