What is Victoria 'Porkchop' Parker's net worth? First-ever eliminated Drag Race Queen has won over a 100 pageants
If you're currently watching 'RuPaul's Drag Race' season 13, it is for a good reason - this season has been by far the longest for the franchise. We didn't get an elimination right up until the 4th episode, although the queens were divided - there was the winner circle and the queens who found themselves in the 'Porkchop Loading Dock'.
The reasons behind this long season are many; there has been talk that it's production's way of stalling until the COVID-19 situation improves for the live finale, there has also been speculation that there's another reason - to give the first eliminated queen a chance to make herself known on TV and get more out of the show than just 15 minutes of fame.
Incidentally, the 'Porkchop Loading Dock' in season 13's episode one is named after none other than Victoria 'Porkchop' Parker, the first-ever queen to be eliminated on episode 1 on season 1 of 'RuPaul's Drag Race'.

'RuPaul’s Drag Race’: Who is Victoria 'Porkchop' Parker, why does show 'always have a place' for her?
Before you feel bad for him just yet, it worth knowing that the seasoned queen has made quite the name for himself, regardless of his elimination.
She always has a spot, saved by none other than RuPaul
It's a running joke at every finale, where RuPaul gives Porkchop a shoutout - 'Hey Porkchop, you know I've always got a seat for you, honey!'. Being the first-ever queen to get eliminated is it's own sort of iconic, but there far more to this queen than just that. Around the time of season 1 in 2009, Porkchop has already been in the drag circuit for a while and had made quite a name for herself - her elimination was on basis of the fact that she failed the first challenge which happened to be a sewing one (a struggle we still see with AT LEAST one queen each season).
Seasoned pageant queen with over a 100 wins
Porkchop has been working the pageant circuit since the 90s, having participated in her first pageant in 1990. She's gone on to win well over a 100 of them, making her a veteran pageant queen and drag royalty. She even won Miss DragCon 2018 and was crowned by none other than BeBe Zahara Benet, the first ever 'Drag Race' winner. Talk about full circle!
Her net worth is...
Between performances and pageants, Porkchop has not let that first elimination get in the way of her making it big. The drag queen has a networth of $3.4 billion, as reported by Net Worth List.
