Many might have the idea of Jonathan gaining his fame and net worth all through Kim Kardashian, but it’s not the case. Back before meeting Kim, he managed a TV series of his own in 2010 called The Spin Crowd. He took a paycheck of around $400,000 for making an appearance in the famous reality series Celebrity Big Brother in 2016, in which he lasted for six episodes. He also secured a multi-year and multimillion deal by agreeing to endorse BurgerIM.

He set up Sushi Mikasa to start his business in a restaurant in 2012 and later launched Burger Bandit in New York.

He also runs a website known as The Dishh that offers information related to food recipes and the latest cooking trends. While Cheban may still be lacking far behind from the wealth of his famous BFF, Kim, he still has an impressive net worth.

Cheban first started his work for publicist Peggy Siegel at her firm in New York after his graduation. Somewhere along the line, Siegel was called to work on Sean Combs’ 29th birthday party, which she rejected, whereas Cheban accepted the offer himself.

After leaving Siegel, he worked for other publicists until he formed his own public-relations firm named CommandPR in 2001. After spending a few years overseeing his own PR firm, Jonathan went on to launch his very own clothing line, Kritik, in 2008.

Is Jonathan Cheban Gay?

Jonathan Cheban is straight when it comes to his sexuality, and it can also be seen from who he has dated up until now. However, in 2012 on a short TV appearance, he was questioned for his manhood by Kris Humphries, Kim’s then-fiance, “Wait, you’re straight, but you’ve never wanted to sleep with Kim? Impossible!”

This statement spread like wildfire in the media outlets, and ever since, people tend to question his sexuality. But it seems clear from his ex-girlfriends that he is not gay.
