Here is the house of Revilla in a report by PEP.ph in 2009.

In July 2018, the Supreme Court upheld their decision to freeze the assets of Revilla.

Based on a report by Top Most 10, Revilla ranked as 9th richest Filipino celebrity this 2018. He has a net worth of P100 million. He has around 60 films up until 2012 and TV shows as well.

In a recent report by KAMI, despite his detention in Camp Crame, Revilla filed his certificate of candidacy (COC) through his wife, Lani Mercado-Revilla to make a comeback as a senator.

According to Revilla, “Ikinulong man nila ako, hindi nila maikukulong ang aking puso, diwa, at pagmamahal sa bayan.”

His wife, Lani, is very hopeful that Revilla will be free by the time Christmas comes.
