Well, he had that MTV show (or still has it?) and I'm sure his YT partnership is bringing in a decent amount of income. I remember years ago he released a video calling out haters and explaining to them that every dime he makes goes into his productions. He gave us a tour of his tiny apartment where he was sleeping on a mattress on the floor and didn't have any food in the fridge. He then proceeded to publicly release his cell phone number in the video so that if any haters had anything to say to him, they didn't have to write it in the comments section.
I also remember there was a time when one guy who helped direct, produce and film one of his projects talked about how he was exploited by Todrick. It's been a while so I can't remember the full details but he mentioned that Todrick wanted his work done in a matter of only one or two days and the guy said that the amount of work that needed to be done would usually be done in two weeks. He said it seemed impossible but because of his work ethic, his team (which only consist of him and a single partner, iirc) worked their asses off to please Todrick. By the end, they didn't release the video to Todrick because he didn't give them the price that they agreed upon and they lost a lot of money because of it.
I'm sure both videos I'm referring to still exist somewhere out there...
He also got in trouble for not delivering on a kickstarter he did for a production. He never released it/didn't refund.
In the description for this video, he says he lost his manager and MTV show which inspired him to write this album.
I believe that stuff about a quick turnaround because he got all the finalists from RuPaul which is like only a month or two ago and also he has stuff about Orlando in this video. I can't imagine the workload for something like this, especially if you are jamming it out extremely fast.
