Joe Jackson Net Worth $500,000

Joseph Walter “Joe” Jackson was born on 26 July 1928, in Fountain Hill, Arkansas, and was the older brother of four other children of Crystal Lee and Samuel Jackson. After his parents divorced, Jackson lived with his mother and step father, but also maintained a relationship with his biological father. Before becoming involved in a very active life of music and show business, Joe met his future wife, Katherine Scruse. They married in 1949 and went to live in Gary, Indiana. Jackson was working as a crane operator, and was even a food store worker before he had the idea of creating a family band.

Joe and Katherine were the parents of 11 children who became extremely popular in the world of show business, but of course the most popular was his son, Michael Jackson. It was in 1960 that Joe raised his net worth seriously for the first time, as he created the music family group initially called “The Falcons” with his older sons Sigmund Esco “Jackie” Jackson, Tariano Adaryll “Tito” Jackson and Jermaine La Jaune Jackson. Later the group increased with the addition of two other of Jackson’s sons, firstly Marlon and then Michael to actually become “The Jackson 5”. As the group was gaining fame, father Joseph’s net worth was rising too.The group became extremely popular after their album entitled “Destiny” was certified Platinum, the net worth of father Joe increased even more after the release of the album “Triumph”. However, in 1979 Michael Jackson and Jermaine Jackson decided to leave their father’s band, after which Joseph spent more time managing daughter Janet Jackson’s career, as she became an actress as well as a noted recording artist.

Of course, the biggest star in pop music was not Joseph Jackson, but his son Michael, who died in 2009, but Joe’s net worth only increased after he promoted his children to reach stardom in their musical careers. This is actually a quite rare example of a famous family band; some members of “The Jackson 5” later became much more popular than the creator of the band. Conversely, there were some accusations that Joe was far too strict with his children, even after they became famous, with suggestions that he was living his far less noted career in music through his offspring, and why the group actually split-up over time, and why in later years he was estranged from his wife and surviving children.

Joe Jackson died on 27 June 2018,in Los Angeles, California, having suffered from cancer in his later years.

  Because Katherine receives 40% of her deceased son Michaei Jackson’s estate. Before he died MJ gave her a substantial monthly stipend. View the KJ Family vs AEG trial where she testifies about it. MJ left nothing for his father.

Paul Heyman’s Net Worth $10 Million

Paul was born into the Jewish family of personal injury attorney Richard, and Sulamita Heyman, actually a holocaust survivor. 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. This is considered as a first step into his later career, and which talent he expanded into the creation of a wrestling magazine “The Wrestling Times Magazine^“, and wrote for wrestling publications such as “Pro Wrestling Illustrated”.

Paul then successively worked for Capitol Wrestling Corporation, Championship Wrestling from Florida, Jim Crockett Promotions, World Championship Wrestling, and Extreme Championship Wrestling, in various guises including promoter, producer, trainer, and manager, and then with World Wrestling Federation (WWF) as a commentator and broadcaster from the turn of the century.

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.
