Bruce McNally's Net Worth as of 2024
$3 Million

Bruce Partick McNall was born on the 17th April 1950 in Arcadia, California USA, and is a businessman and sports executive, known to the world for owning 49% of the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the late ‘80s, and also owned the Canadian Football League club the Toronto Argonauts from 1991 to 1994. However, he also became known to the world for spending over four years in prison for fraud and conspiracy.

Have you ever wondered how rich Bruce McNall is, as of mid- 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that McNall’s net worth is as high as $3 million, earned through his successful careers. He has also worked as a film producer too, and owned thoroughbred race horses in the past, which also contributed to his wealth.

Bruce’s upbringing has remained unknown in the media and nothing about his life before becoming successful businessman is made available to the public. Though he claimed that he graduated from Oxford, later it was revealed to be a lie.

He was a coin collector in his early career days, and earned his first fortune, although it was later revealed that he smuggled coins from foreign countries. Nevertheless, he was slowly building his empire, and during the ‘80s and early ‘90s enjoyed fame and fortune, before it all started to fall apart.

He started as a film producer in the ‘80s with such films as the sci-fi thriller “War Games” (1983), starring Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy and John Wood, then the crime-drama “Wisdom”, with Emilio Estevez who wrote and directed the film, and Demi Moore. He was also producer of the film “Weekend at Bernie’s” in 1989. He continued his work as producer until the early ‘90s and his demise, but then returned to producing in the mid- 2000s, and since then has worked on such films as the romantic thriller “Asylum” (2005), mystery thriller “Night Train” (2009), and action thriller “Beatdown” (2010), with Dany Trejo, Eric Balfour and Rudy Youngblood in the lead roles. All of these creations increased Bruce’s net worth, and put him back on his feet after his financial struggles.

Back in 1986, he bought 2% of the Los Angeles Kings from Jerry Buss, and the following year increased his stake by 24% to become the majority owner of the NHL franchise. Immediately in 1988, he bought the remaining shares that Jerry Buss owned, having already become the president of the Kings. 1988 Bruce struck the sports world by acquiring Wayne Gretzky from the Edmonton Oilers for a massive amount in those days of the NHL – he sent Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas then three first-round draft picks and $15 million in the trade, and with Gretzky, the Kings got also Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski. He gave Gretzky a $3 million per year contract, which largely effected the Kings’ finances, but thanks to their successful performance in the league, they managed to compensate their losses.

Unfortunately, after Bruce failed to make a payment for a $90 million loan, he was forced to sell the Kings which happened in 1994 – though he no longer owns the franchise, Bruce is still the president and governor. He also owned the CFL franchise the Toronto Argonauts which he bought with the help of Wayne Gretzky and actor/comedian John Candy, until 1994 when it fell into debts of more than $20 million.

Regarding his personal life, in late 1994 he admitted that he had defrauded six banks for around $235 million over ten years, and as a result, he was sentenced to 70 months in prison, but his fine was decreased by 13 months and he was out in 2001.

When it comes to his most intimate details, Bruce was married to Jane Cody, with whom he has two children.

At 11 he started his first business attempt, selling celebrity and sports memorabilia. His educational background comes from Suny Purchase, New York, and Westchester Community College, where he was also employed as a radio station host and later a producer, and was famous/notorious even then for his bold, controversial and opinionated statements.While still a teenager, Heyman hustled his way as a photo journalist into a World Wide Wrestling Federation event at Madison Square Garden, and was paid by the company for several photos he had taken.

Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.

So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.

Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million

Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.

In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.

While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.

Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.

Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.

In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.
