Russell Brand reportedly sought to transfer his £5 million home to his wife six weeks before being convicted.
The 51-year-old comedian was found guilty last week of one rape offence and three sexual assaults.
Land Registry records reportedly reveal that ownership of the property near Henley-on-Thames was to be transferred to Laura Gallacher, the mother of Brand’s three children.
The paperwork was lodged on September 15, 2026, one month before the trial started.
Brand remains worth at least £20 million, although his wealth could be substantially reduced by civil claims arising after the criminal proceedings.
He bought the six-bedroom riverside property in 2016 for £3.3 million, and it is now valued at almost twice that amount.
The house has landscaped gardens, a swimming pool and a private cinema, which cost Brand and Gallacher £1 million to renovate.
Before the rape charge was brought against him, Brand reportedly moved his family out of Oxfordshire at the end of 2024.
The family rented a four-bedroom waterfront carriage house in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.
Brand also purchased the 500-year-old Crown Inn at Pishill in 2020 for £850,000.
The pub was sold in October 2025 for £975,000 after South Oxfordshire District Council refused permission for plans to convert it into a private recording studio and office.
Local residents and the Campaign for Real Ale had opposed the development.
The pub was held through Pablo Diablo’s Legitimate Business Firm Limited, whose ownership had been shared with Gallacher since their marriage.
Before its sale, the couple moved their registered address from the UK to the US and settled in Florida with their three children.
Earlier in 2026, Brand announced that PDLBF would close.
The business had managed wealth generated through his work in television, Hollywood and online television channels.
Its assets fell from £15.3 million to £3.96 million during the 12 months ending in 2025.
The company also received income from fees associated with Brand’s content on services such as Rumble, live performances and merchandise.
Brand’s YouTube channel was permanently demonetised after sexual abuse allegations concerning him were broadcast in 2023, preventing him from earning money through it.
A separate US civil action connected to the 2010 film Arthur is also underway.
Its complainant is seeking unspecified damages from Brand.
PDLBF held £3 million in reserves at the turn of the year, down from £12 million at the same point in 2024.
Matthew Claughton, managing director of Olliers Solicitors, said Brand’s legal consequences would continue after his release from prison.
According to Claughton, those he offended could pursue compensation claims related to the sexual assaults.
