Chuck Norris Net Worth $75 Million


Carlos Ray Norris was born on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma, United States. Together with brothers Aaron Norris and Wileand Norris, Chuck was raised only by their mother from 16 years of age, when his parents divorced. They moved to Kansas and later started to live in California. In his childhood Chuck wasn’t popular among teenagers. He described his younger self as a shy and a non-athletic boy who didn’t even think about becoming an actor. After graduating from school Norris worked as an Air Policeman for United States Air Force, including being sent to South Korea, and there he was given the nickname “Chuck”. Nowadays everyone knows him only as Chuck Norris, whose estimated net worth is big.

When Norris left the United States Air Force, he started to show an interest in martial arts and succeeded in Chun Kuk Do. He participated in many different tournaments and even defeated such great fighters as Victor Moore and Skipper Mullins. However, Chuck Norris’s net worth started to rise only in 1960, when he received the title of the Fighter Of The Year.

Norris’s net worth rose dramatically when he started to appear in movies. His debut in the film industry was in 1969 as he played a supporting role in a movie entitled “The Wrecking Crew”. Of course, this first installment in Chuck’s net worth was not really big, but it was the beginning of his great acting career. Only in 1977 when Norris starred in a movie “Breaker! Breaker!” produced by Samuel Schulman, did his net worth increase substantially. The real breakthrough performance made by Norris which increased his net worth was four years afterwards, when he filmed “An Eye For An Eye” – he starred there together with Christopher Lee and Richard Roundtree.

Talking about his personal life, C. Norris already has 9 grandchildren. His first wife was Dianne Holechek – they married in 1958 and their firstborn was Michael R. Norris, who is also known as an American actor. Their second child, Eric Scott Norris, is known as a race car driver. However, Chuck divorced from his wife after more than 30 years of living together. Her second wife is the former Gena O’Kelley, an ex- model. Together they have two children: Danilee Kelly Norris and Dakota Alan Norris.

So now you know how rich is Chuck Norris.
