George Zimmerman was a large person known for the shooting of Trayvon Martin in 2012. Martin was a teenager at his death and this became one of the most famous cases in California’s history.

This happens while watching the environment, which makes this case even more interesting. After this event, George claimed self defense. Needless to say that this caused many public anger.

He was quite popular during the trial period. From 2012 to July 2013, Zimmerman handled a lot of news. George was released from all charges by the court again in 2013, but he was still popular and found his way to the main headline of time and time again.

People in the United States do know their names because they have a well known personality. One thing that helps his popularity is a weapon used to kill a young black teenager. More about that later.

During the trial, he always stated that he killed Trayvon in defense, insisted that he did not commit cold-blooded murder. The judge and jury decided to benefit him, which released him from all charges.

Something really interesting about this case is the fact that George did have many supporters, even though people were angry with Him the first time he said that he did it in self-defense. What is the good indication of that support?

Well, he created a website in 2012, ready to accept donations from people who want to help with this case. Many do not believe that someone wants to help him, but the amount he can reach on the website is astonishing.

People contribute around 33,000 dollars every month on the website, which is a big surprise. After a few months, he can collect up to 200,000 dollars only from donations. Other sources of large income are weapons carried out by the murder. We already mentioned it for a while.

He really put a gun at the auction, with an initial offer of 5,000 dollars. According to various sources, pistols are sold more than a quarter of a million dollars. Which really helped his bank account after the trial.

Zimmerman is also known for selling his paintings. One of them was even sold with more than 100.00 dollars but was later found as a copy. After a while, it is known that most of his paintings are not their original ideas. Many of them only steal ideas from other sources.

In the end, the rumor was that Zimmerman’s net worth was around 10 million dollars. We know that he must be in a good financial condition after all the numbers we throw to you, but no one really knows where he gets all the money.

Even though he was someone with a wide criminal record that was even after this big trial, the fact was that he still did well for himself. Take this number with a grain of salt, of course.
