Perez Hilton Net Worth 2026: The $20M Blog Fortune

Perez Hilton‘s net worth is estimated at $3 million to $20 million as of November 2026. The gossip blogger who once charged up to $45,000 a week for a single advertising package on PerezHilton.com turned down a reported $20 million offer for the site in 2010 — then watched the blog economy that made him rich fade as readers moved to social media. In 2026, a three-week hospital stay for sepsis, a move from Las Vegas back to Miami, and a public mental-health crisis in August put his finances under fresh scrutiny, and the best-known estimate of his fortune was cut sharply.

Early Life and Background

Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr. was born on March 23, 1978, in Miami, Florida, to Cuban immigrant parents, Mario Armando Lavandeira Sr. and Teresita Lavandeira. He grew up in the Little Havana and Westchester neighborhoods of Miami, in a Spanish-speaking household where his Cuban heritage sat at the center of family life. The city he was raised in would later become the punchline and the anchor of his public identity: he left Miami to chase acting in New York and Los Angeles, built a career mocking Hollywood from a laptop, and in June 2026 moved his family back to Miami after more than two decades away.

His childhood was not the glossy show-business upbringing his later readers might have assumed. He has spoken openly about being bullied as a child, an experience that shaped both his humor and his appetite for attention. The boy who felt like an outsider in Miami grew into a man who made a living deciding who was in and who was out in celebrity culture — a connection he has returned to himself in interviews and in his 2020 memoir, TMI: My Life in Scandal, where he reckoned with the damage his early blogging did to others and to his own reputation.

His mother, Teresita, has been a constant through every chapter of his adult life. She lived with Hilton and his three children for years, helped raise them, and in August 2026 was granted temporary custody of the children by a court after Hilton’s hospitalization. His father, Mario Sr., kept a lower profile. Hilton has one sister, Barbara Lavandeira, whose husband Tom has spoken publicly for the family during Hilton’s 2026 health crisis.

Miami in the late 1970s and 1980s was a city remaking itself around Cuban exile culture, and Hilton’s background gave him a vantage point that most gossip writers lacked: he was an outsider to Hollywood’s old guard and to the glossy magazine world, writing about famous people from a laptop rather than from inside their parties. That distance became his business model.

Education

Hilton attended Belen Jesuit Preparatory School, an all-boys Catholic school in Miami, and graduated in 1996. The Jesuit education — seven years of Catholic schooling, as he later described it — stayed with him in unexpected ways: raised Catholic, he said in March 2026 that he had never truly been a believer until a near-death hospital stay that month, after which he began reading the Bible again and talking openly about faith.

After Belen, he won a scholarship to New York University, where he studied drama and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2000. He had arrived in New York dreaming of an acting career. NYU gave him the degree and the city gave him his first taste of media work, but acting parts were scarce. The training mattered anyway: the blog he eventually built was, in its way, a performance — a character named Perez Hilton, drawn in felt-tip marker style, delivering lines to an audience every day.

His education also explains the gap between the man and the persona. Lavandeira the NYU drama graduate understood staging, timing, and audience; Perez Hilton the blogger turned those instincts into dozens of short posts a day, each one written to provoke a reaction. The formal training never produced a conventional acting career, but it produced one of the most recognizable voices of the early internet.

Career Journey

After graduating from NYU in 2000, Lavandeira moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. Work came in small pieces: in 2001 he appeared in an episode of The Sopranos, and he picked up minor roles and background work while supporting himself with media jobs. He wrote and edited for Instinct, a gay men’s magazine, and worked for GLAAD, the LGBTQ advocacy organization — early signs of the two threads, media and gay culture, that would run through everything he did next.

The blog began as a hobby in September 2004. He had no internet connection in his Los Angeles apartment, so he walked to a nearby Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf to use the free Wi-Fi, according to an account of his early years reported by the BBC. He called the site PageSixSixSix.com, a jab at the New York Post‘s Page Six gossip column, and wrote about celebrities because, as he later explained, famous people’s lives would attract more readers than his own. Within months, the television show The Insider called it “Hollywood’s most hated website,” and the insult worked like advertising: traffic surged so fast the site’s servers struggled to keep up.

He renamed the site PerezHilton.com and adopted Perez Hilton as his professional name — a play on Paris Hilton, the hotel heiress and reality star who was then at the height of her fame. The name was a joke that became a brand: “Perez” for the Latin twist, “Hilton” for instant recognition. The site’s formula was unlike anything in celebrity media at the time — paparazzi photographs covered with his handwritten captions, arrows, nicknames, and crude doodles, plus short, blunt commentary published dozens of times a day. He has said he worked as many as 17 hours a day in the site’s early growth, filing up to 30 stories in 24 hours.

Television followed the blog. In July 2007 he announced on The View that VH1 had given him his own reality series, What Perez Sez, six one-hour episodes that premiered on September 11, 2007. He competed on MTV’s Celebrity Rap Superstar the same year, hosted a Best of MADtv episode, and co-hosted the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards, where he stepped up to collect an award on behalf of Rick Astley. In 2009 he served as a judge at the Miss USA pageant. Later television credits piled up: a stint as a special guest referee on WWE Raw in 2012, an appearance on Oprah’s Lifeclass, a housemate run on the British Celebrity Big Brother in January 2015 — he was the seventh celebrity evicted, on February 4, 2015 — and a win on Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition 3 in 2017.

Books became a second act. He published Red Carpet Suicide: A Survival Guide on Keeping Up With the Hiltons and True Bloggywood Stories: The Glamorous Life of Beating, Cheating and Overdosing, both in 2009 and both described as bestsellers on his own site, followed by the memoir TMI: My Life in Scandal in 2020. Podcasting came next: the Perez Hilton Podcast, co-hosted with Chris Booker, debuted in 2015 and became his steadiest platform as the blog’s traffic faded. He also moved into live performance, YouTube commentary, and, in 2026, a merchandise line he promoted in the same video in which he disclosed his financial strain.

Rise to Fame

By 2007, PerezHilton.com was reporting roughly 2.6 million unique visitors a month, and one July day that year the site logged 8.82 million page views in 24 hours — a figure some contemporaries disputed, but one that captured the scale of the moment. Forbes named him its No. 1 Web Celeb for three consecutive years, 2007, 2008, and 2009, and People en Español listed him among the 15 most influential Hispanics in the United States. In September 2008, Terra.com named him Hispanic of the Year for Hispanic Heritage Month.

His influence was real and measurable in the music business. He was an early and enthusiastic champion of Mika and of Lady Gaga’s pop career — his site was among the first major platforms to push Gaga to a mass American audience before her debut album broke. Positive coverage on PerezHilton.com could put an emerging act in front of millions of readers in a single afternoon; negative coverage could do the opposite. Record labels courted him, publicists feared him, and celebrities learned to read his site the way politicians read polling.

The money followed the attention. In 2009, 24/7 Wall St. valued PerezHilton.com at $44 million and estimated its annual revenue at about $6.2 million, on roughly 7 million unique visitors and a lean, low-cost operation. The valuation was an estimate, not a sale price, but it showed how the market priced a one-man gossip empire at its peak. A year later, in 2010, he was reportedly offered $20 million to sell the website — $18 million upfront and $2 million after a year — by Avid Life Media and two other gossip businesses. He turned it down.

Fame also brought the controversies that defined him. In 2007 he wrongly announced that Cuban leader Fidel Castro had died, claiming an official announcement was imminent; Castro later appeared in public, and Hilton later called the false report his “one regret” on The Tyra Banks Show in 2009. He was heavily criticized for publishing photographs and rumors suggesting that certain celebrities were gay before they had spoken about their sexuality themselves, including Lance Bass and Neil Patrick Harris. He argued that visibility helped normalize LGBTQ representation; critics, including many LGBTQ activists, said nobody should be forced to disclose their sexuality before they are ready. His commentary about celebrities’ appearance, addiction, mental health, and private lives was frequently cruel, and he later apologized for portions of his earlier work and acknowledged that he had helped build an unhealthy celebrity culture.

Legal trouble came with the territory. In 2007, Zomba Label Group, Britney Spears’ record company, sued him after unreleased Spears songs appeared on his site. DJ Samantha Ronson sued him for defamation after he suggested she had planted drugs in Lindsay Lohan’s car; he was eventually dismissed from that lawsuit, and a court ordered Ronson to pay nearly $85,000 toward his legal expenses. He was sued after linking to a Colin Farrell sex tape and after publishing a topless photograph of Jennifer Aniston, and several photography agencies accused him of using copyrighted images without permission. He argued his handwritten additions turned the photographs into satire protected by fair use; some disputes settled out of court, and the pressure reportedly cost him at least one web-hosting provider.

Main Sources of Income

Blog advertising was the engine of Hilton’s fortune, and at its peak it was an unusually profitable one-man business. In 2007, Henry Copeland of Blogads, the network that sold advertising for PerezHilton.com, told The New York Times that the site charged about $9,000 a week for a single advertisement and as much as $45,000 a week for its largest advertising package. A $45,000-a-week package, sold for a full year, would produce more than $2.3 million before any other advertising was counted — and the site carried many placements at once. MediaPost reported in January 2007 that six different television networks bought ads on the site in a single week, with formats ranging from skyscraper units to full site takeovers. Wired later reported that ads on the site fetched up to $54,000 a day in 2008, with monthly page views then approaching 198 million, according to a profile of his earnings.

Television provided the second stream. Reality shows, guest spots, hosting gigs, and competition appearances paid appearance fees and, just as importantly, kept his name in front of audiences who might never have visited a gossip blog. His VH1 series, the MTV Europe Music Awards co-hosting job, the Miss USA judging role, and the Celebrity Big Brother appearance all came with paychecks, and each one fed traffic back to the site. He also earned money from speaking engagements and live performances, including a one-man stage show built around his stories from the gossip years.

Books added advances and royalties. His two 2009 titles were marketed as bestsellers, and the 2020 memoir TMI: My Life in Scandal gave him a fresh round of interviews and a new audience — readers interested less in gossip than in a repentant insider’s account of the blog era. Book income was never on the scale of the advertising peak, but it diversified a business that depended entirely on one website’s traffic.

Podcasting and video became the replacement income as the blog faded. The Perez Hilton Podcast, launched in 2015 with co-host Chris Booker, carried celebrity news, interviews, and personal commentary, and it survived as a going concern long after PerezHilton.com stopped setting the daily agenda. YouTube advertising, sponsored social-media posts, and branded partnerships added smaller, steadier sums. In May 2026 he launched a merchandise line, promoting it in the video where he disclosed that his hospital stay had drained his bank account — a sign that he was hunting for new income as the old streams thinned.

Real estate rounded out the picture. As the property section below shows, he bought, customized, and sold homes in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas across fifteen years, and the gains on those sales — roughly $900,000 on the West Hollywood villa alone — formed a meaningful part of his wealth. Unlike a salary, property gains arrived in lumps, and they depended on timing; the Las Vegas home he listed in June 2026 had not sold by September, when he cut the price by $350,000.

Salary and Earnings

Hilton never drew a conventional salary; he owned the business that paid him. That makes his “earnings” a story of revenue peaks and a long decline rather than a pay stub, and the honest numbers are the ones tied to named sources.

The peak years were 2007 to 2010. The Blogads rate card reported by The New York Times in 2007 — $9,000 a week for one ad, $45,000 a week for the top package — supports annual advertising revenue in the low millions at a time when the site drew millions of visitors a month. 24/7 Wall St.’s 2009 estimate of $6.2 million in annual revenue, against very low operating costs, fits the same picture: a site run by Hilton and a small staff, with margins the outlet estimated at 60 percent. His first Google AdSense payment, by his own later account, was $5 — a detail that captures how far the site traveled in three years.

The clearest single data point about what the business was worth came in 2010, when Avid Life Media and two other gossip businesses reportedly offered $20 million for PerezHilton.com — $18 million upfront and $2 million after a year. He declined. The offer is often misread as money he earned; it was money he refused. But it is the best evidence of the site’s peak market value, and it explains why the $20 million net worth figure stuck to him for the next fifteen years: the offer price became the fortune in the public mind, even though the cash never changed hands.

After 2010, the earnings curve bent down. Traffic shifted to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and celebrity news became a commodity produced by large platforms rather than by one blogger’s laptop. Competitor profiles from the period note that the site’s popularity was already waning by around 2014. No later revenue figure has been publicly reported with anything like the detail of the 2007 rate card, and Hilton has never disclosed his income. What the record does show is the other side of the ledger: in May 2026 he said on video that a three-week hospitalization had “drained” his bank account, and he was actively looking for ways to generate additional income. Celebrity Net Worth, which had long carried his fortune at $20 million, cut its estimate to $3 million in its August 2026 update — a revision that reflects the gap between a peak-era valuation and his present cash position.

That distinction matters for anyone reading a net worth figure for Hilton. A net worth includes property and business interests that cannot be spent like cash, and Hilton’s own words described his available cash, not his total assets. His Las Vegas home alone was listed at $4.25 million — more than the revised $3 million estimate — which is why the range we publish runs from $3 million to $20 million rather than settling on one number. The low end reflects the freshest estimate from the most-cited tracker; the high end reflects the figure most outlets still carry and the scale of the business he built. Neither end is a bank balance.

Businesses and Investments

PerezHilton.com was the business, and for most of his career it was the only one that mattered. Launched in September 2004 as PageSixSixSix.com and renamed soon after, it grew from a hobby into a media property valued by 24/7 Wall St. at $44 million in 2009. The site’s assets were intangible — a domain, an audience, a voice, and relationships with advertisers — which is why its value fell so fast when the audience moved on. A gossip blog has no factory and no inventory; when the readers leave, the business leaves with them.

He tried to extend the brand beyond the blog. The podcast, launched in 2015, was the most durable extension, giving him a format that fit the way audiences actually consumed celebrity news in the 2020s. His books extended the brand into print, and his live performances and television appearances extended it into rooms where tickets and fees applied. None of these replaced the blog’s peak revenue, but together they kept him working and earning for a decade after the blog’s best years.

Real estate was his most concrete investment. He bought homes, customized them heavily — the Las Vegas house was an unfinished property he completed to his own specification, with a detached casita and a private suite for his mother — and sold them at a gain when the market cooperated. The West Hollywood villa, bought for $2 million in 2009 and sold for slightly more than $2.9 million in 2016, was the cleanest win. The Carthay Circle property, bought for $1.71 million in 2013 and sold in 2023 after a price cut from $4.195 million to $3.695 million, was a slower, messier one. Property was also where his money sat: by 2026, a large share of whatever wealth he held was in the Las Vegas house, which is why listing it mattered so much to his cash position.

There is no public record of Hilton making venture investments, holding a stock portfolio of note, or buying into startups — the kind of holdings that pad out other celebrities’ net worth pages. His wealth was concentrated in two things: a website and houses. That concentration is the central fact of his financial story, and it explains both the speed of his rise and the fragility of his position in 2026.

Brand Deals and Sponsorships

Hilton’s brand deals were never the sneaker-and-watch endorsements that fill other celebrities’ pages; they were media deals, and they arrived because advertisers wanted his audience. The January 2007 MediaPost report — six television networks buying ads on PerezHilton.com in a single week — is the best-documented example: networks promoting their own shows paid premium rates to reach his readers, and Blogads reported 15.6 million weekly ad impressions on the site’s premium spot, the most trafficked space in its network.

Television networks also hired him directly. MTV put him on Celebrity Rap Superstar and handed him the Europe Music Awards co-hosting job in 2008. VH1 built What Perez Sez around him and later cast him in Flab to Fab, the weight-loss series in which he lost 45 pounds in three months. WWE brought him in as a special guest referee on Raw in 2012. Each booking was a paid engagement and a publicity loop: the appearance promoted the blog, and the blog promoted the appearance.

Sponsored content and social-media partnerships came later, as the industry shifted. His Instagram and YouTube channels carried sponsored posts, and his podcast carried sponsors in the usual host-read format. The sums were never disclosed, and by the 2020s they were modest beside the blog’s peak advertising rates. In 2026, the merchandise line he launched in May — promoted in the video where he discussed his drained bank account — was the newest attempt to turn his remaining audience into revenue directly, without an advertiser in the middle.

One deal he did not take defines the brand-deals section as much as any he did: the $20 million acquisition offer in 2010. Avid Life Media, the company behind Ashley Madison, was one of the buyers in the reported proposal. Accepting would have made him rich in cash at the peak of his market; refusing kept him independent and kept the site his. Fifteen years later, with the site’s value far below that offer, the refusal reads as the most expensive decision of his career — and also the one most consistent with who he was: a man who wanted to keep writing about celebrities on his own terms.

Houses, Cars and Other Assets

Property is the most documentable part of Hilton’s wealth, because house prices leave a paper trail. The record shows three major homes, two profitable sales, and one listing that, as of late 2026, had not yet closed.

In 2009 he paid $2 million for a Mediterranean-style villa in West Hollywood: about 4,300 square feet, four bedrooms, a gated driveway, and a backyard with a swimming pool and spa. He sold it in 2016 for slightly more than $2.9 million — a gain of roughly $900,000 before costs, and the cleanest property win of his career.

In 2013 he paid $1.71 million for a Spanish Colonial property in Los Angeles’ historic Carthay Circle neighborhood: a four-bedroom main residence plus a separate two-bedroom guesthouse, about 3,900 square feet combined. He listed it in May 2023 for $4.195 million, cut the asking price to $3.695 million, and accepted an offer later that year. The sale price was not publicly disclosed in the reporting we reviewed, so the final gain is not a number we can state.

The Las Vegas home was the biggest project. After relocating to Las Vegas, he bought an unfinished property in the gated Prado development and completed a heavily customized home for himself, his three children, and his mother. Finished in 2023, it spans about 6,570 square feet with six bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a detached casita, a private suite for his mother, and a resort-style swimming pool. In June 2026, a month after disclosing his financial strain, he listed it for $4.25 million. It was still on the market in August at the original price, and by September he had cut the asking price by $350,000, to $3.9 million, according to reports in Bored Panda and TVOverMind. How much he spent building it, and how much mortgage debt sits against it, is not public — so the listing price is not his profit, and a sale at $3.9 million would not put $3.9 million in his pocket.

After listing the Las Vegas house, he moved with his family to a rented four-bedroom home in Miami’s Westchester neighborhood, the area where he grew up. Public rental records cited by Celebrity Net Worth put the lease at about $4,300 a month. The move reversed two decades of geography: Los Angeles, then Las Vegas, then back to the Miami neighborhood of his childhood.

Cars have never been a featured part of his public image, and no reliable reporting ties a notable car collection to him — a contrast with the celebrities he covered, whose vehicles were regular blog fodder. His most mentioned companion is not a car but a dog: Teddy Hilton, his mini Goldendoodle, who appeared regularly in his social-media posts and was described on his site’s about page as part of the household.

Awards and Achievements

Hilton’s trophy shelf is thin by Hollywood standards, but the recognitions he did collect measure something specific: influence. Forbes naming him its No. 1 Web Celeb in 2007, 2008, and 2009 put a blogger — a job title that barely existed a decade earlier — at the top of a mainstream business magazine’s ranking, three years running. It was the establishment’s admission that the internet had a new kind of celebrity, and that Hilton was its first star.

Terra.com named him Hispanic of the Year in September 2008, and People en Español counted him among the 15 most influential Hispanics in the United States. Hispanic Magazine gave him its 2009 Hispanic of the Year honor, according to his site’s own about page. He was nominated for a Teen Choice Award as a web star, a nomination that captured the moment when teenagers’ media diet had shifted from television to blogs.

His competitive wins came on reality television: he won Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition 3 in 2017, a lighthearted coda to a career built on being watched. The Celebrity Big Brother run in 2015 — evicted seventh, on February 4 — was less a win than a spectacle; his time in the house generated days of British tabloid coverage and reminded everyone that he could still command attention on demand.

The achievement that matters most for his net worth story is not an award but a number: the $20 million offer for his website in 2010. Offers are not earnings, but a $20 million bid from real buyers is the strongest independent evidence of what his business was worth at its peak, and it anchors the top of the range we publish. His other lasting achievement is less flattering and more honest: he apologized for his early cruelty, wrote a memoir about it, and spent his later career trying to be a different kind of commentator — a reinvention few of his contemporaries attempted.

Net Worth Growth Over the Years

The table below tracks published estimates of Hilton’s fortune over time — not a bank statement, but the public record of what outlets said he was worth and when. The pattern is a steep rise, a long plateau, and a sharp revision in 2026.

Two things stand out. First, the $20 million figure barely moved for a decade, which is a warning sign: a fortune that never changes in print is usually a figure nobody has re-checked. Second, the 2026 revision came from the same outlet that had long published the $20 million number, and it came with a reason — Hilton’s own statement that his hospital stay had drained his bank account, followed by the listing of his largest asset. Readers should treat the range, not either endpoint, as the honest answer.

For scale, the person whose name he borrowed sits in a different league: Paris Hilton’s net worth is estimated in the hundreds of millions, built on hotels, licensing, and a business empire rather than a single website. Hilton the blogger built a fortune out of attention itself — and attention, unlike a hotel chain, can leave in a year.

Social Media Presence

Hilton’s relationship with social media is the irony at the center of his career: the platforms that ended his blog’s dominance became his own main stage. His X (formerly Twitter) account once counted more than 5 million followers, according to older profile reporting, and his Facebook page more than 1.4 million — figures from the early 2020s that have not been freshly verified and have likely moved since. His Instagram, YouTube channel, and TikTok account carry his daily commentary now, with TikTok becoming the platform most associated with him in 2026 for the worst reason: his August 4 livestream from his Miami home, which prompted viewers to alert the authorities.

The podcast remains his steadiest product. Co-hosted with Chris Booker, The Perez Hilton Podcast mixes celebrity news, interviews, and personal discussion, and it kept publishing through 2026 — his brother-in-law Tom gave a family update on the show in August, explaining that Hilton had suffered broken bones in falls during the night of the incident and remained in hospital. The show is where his audience now finds him, and where his family chose to speak when he could not.

His handle changed with his move: after relocating to Miami in June 2026 he changed his Instagram handle to @PerezLovesMiami, a small, public marker of a life being rebuilt around his hometown. His website, perezhilton.com, still publishes, but it no longer sets the agenda of celebrity news the way it did in 2008. The audience moved, and he followed it — first reluctantly, then necessarily.

Personal Life

Hilton is openly gay and a single father of three children born via surrogacy: his son Mario, born in 2013, and his daughters Mia, born in 2015, and Mayte, born in 2017. Fatherhood became the center of his public identity in his later years; he has spoken frequently about parenting, posted constantly about his children, and described his mother living with the family and helping raise them. His children are now 13, 11, and 8.

He has never married, and he keeps his romantic life largely out of public view. What he has shared, repeatedly, is the family unit: himself, his three children, his mother, and Teddy, the mini Goldendoodle. That unit is also the reason his 2026 crisis carried consequences beyond himself. On August 7, 2026, three days after the livestream incident, his mother filed for temporary custody of the children, and a judge granted it. By late August, a court order allowed him supervised visits with his children, with a therapist or an agreed family member present, while he remained in treatment.

His health in 2026 unfolded in two acts. In March, he spent 21 days in a Las Vegas hospital after flu medication taken on an empty stomach caused an ulcer, which perforated and led to severe sepsis. He later said he could no longer walk, was taken by ambulance to Southern Hills Hospital, spent two weeks fed only through an IV, and in April underwent emergency surgery for a massive blood clot — deep vein thrombosis — in his leg. He described the experience in an emotional video posted on his 48th birthday, March 23, saying he had found God during the illness and had begun reading the Bible again.

On the evening of August 4, 2026, viewers of a TikTok livestream from his Miami home alerted the authorities after seeing him harm himself. Deputies from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded, monitored the situation, and used crisis-intervention techniques before entering the home; he was taken to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital and held under Florida’s Baker Act, which allows a temporary involuntary psychiatric evaluation. His family said he suffered significant blood loss, broken bones from falls during the night, and injuries requiring surgery, and asked for privacy while he received care. In October 2026 his family said he had moved to the next phase of treatment, a partial hospitalization program, while living in supportive housing. In September, a friend started a GoFundMe to help raise his children, with a $25,000 goal; about $3,700 had been raised within its first eight hours, according to Bored Panda.

We report these events because they are central to the net worth question — they are the reason the best-known estimate of his fortune was revised down in 2026 — and because Hilton and his family discussed them publicly. We have kept the detail to what is needed to understand the financial picture, and we have not repeated graphic descriptions from the livestream or the body-camera video the Sheriff’s Office released in November 2026. Anyone affected by the issues in this section can contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the United States by calling or texting 988.
