No verified figure exists for Ash Armand’s net worth. Armand, the stage name of Akshaya Kubiak, was a cast member on the Showtime series Gigolos and is now serving eight to twenty years in a Nevada prison for the 2020 killing of Herleen Dulai. None of his known income streams produced the kind of documented earnings that appear in public filings or financial reporting, and any dollar amount circulating on celebrity-wealth aggregator sites is not sourced to any verifiable record.
Why No Credible Number Exists
Armand was never a mainstream celebrity whose finances attracted serious coverage. His three known sources of income were a late-night premium-cable reality show, freelance work as a male escort, and a small massage practice. None of those generated public filings. No reporting has ever specified what the Gigolos cast was paid per episode or per season, and his personal earnings from escort work have never been disclosed.
The one hard revenue figure in the public record belongs to the agency he worked for, not to him. Cowboys4Angels, the male escort agency he joined in 2012, reported roughly two million dollars in total sales in 2014 split among approximately sixty escorts nationwide.1Vice. Meet the Man Revolutionizing the Straight Male Escort Industry How much of that went to any individual escort is not known.
His Known Income Sources
Kubiak left school at sixteen to study Qigong and later obtained his GED in Maine in 2000. He trained in massage therapy across multiple countries and eventually opened a massage business called Akshaya Touch in Miami.2Refinery29.

James, who served as a creative consultant on Gigolos, pushed the show’s producers to hire Kubiak. He joined the Showtime series in its third season in 2012 and remained with it until it ended in 2016, earning the on-screen nickname of the group’s “zen master.”4People. What Happened to Ash Armand
Current Status: Incarcerated
Whatever Armand had accumulated by 2020 has not been earning since. He called 911 from his Las Vegas home on July 16, 2020, to report that 29-year-old Herleen Dulai was unconscious. First responders found blood throughout the room and Dulai deceased.4People.

Initially indicted on first-degree murder, Kubiak pleaded guilty in September 2021 to reduced charges of voluntary manslaughter and mayhem. On December 3, 2021, District Judge Jacqueline Bluth sentenced him to eight to twenty years.5Las Vegas Review-Journal. Former Gigolos Star Sentenced to Prison for Beating Woman to Death He is incarcerated at High Desert State Prison in Nevada. Based on the minimum term calculated from his sentencing date, he would be potentially eligible for parole consideration around 2029, though no official release date has been published.
A later challenge to the sentence failed. The Nevada Court of Appeals affirmed the denial of his motion in May 2024, holding that his arguments fell outside the scope of a motion to correct an illegal sentence.6FindLaw. Akshaya Anthony-Dixit Kubiak v. The State of Nevada, No. 86809-COA
Why His Name Resurfaced in 2025
Two developments in 2025 put Armand back in headlines without changing anything about his finances. In March, Paramount+ premiered Sin City Gigolo: A Murder in Las Vegas, a three-part docuseries examining the case, featuring recorded prison phone calls from Kubiak along with interviews with former cast members and Dulai’s friends and colleagues.7TV Insider.
