Delvin Hemmings, of Boleyn Gardens, along with four runners who worked for him, have all now been sentenced.
The 34-year-old, who ran the line from his home, was sentenced to two years and nine months at Basildon Crown Court last Thursday.
Hemmings had previously admitted being concerned in supplying cocaine and ketamine.
Police found £5,000 in cash and seized 33 pairs of designer shoes, a Canada Goose coat, a designer backpack and an Apple MacBook Air, after carrying out a warrant at his flat on Tuesday, 2 June.
These will now all be subject of a Proceeds of Crime hearing.
One of his runners, Elle Stubley, was arrested at another flat in Boleyn Gardens, where officers found cocaine with a street value to up to £1,080 which was seized.
Jack Sleet, another runner, was arrested at his home in Rowhedge, Brentwood, on the same day.
PC Jodie Barnes, of Brentwood CID, said: “Hemmings controlled a drugs line that supplied drugs for recreational use in the Brentwood area.
“However the law caught up with him and his associates, and they are now all in jail, or have suspended sentences that mean if they commit further offences they will be jailed.
“We’ve also seized cash and property that we believe have been earned through illegal means, and will use Proceeds of Crime legislation to ensure Hemmings does not benefit from his crimes.
“People take drugs for lots of reasons but they might not be thinking of the consequences it has not only to themselves but to others.
“Drug dealing goes hand in hand with the exploitation of children and vulnerable people, as well as violence and emotional and sexual abuse.
“Drugs are not harmless and working for drug dealers does not mean quick money and a glamorous lifestyle.
“It means living in fear of being harmed by other criminals, and in fear of being caught by police.”
