Steeve Martin was the only son of a well-off upper middle class family. Steve Martin’s father, Glenn Vernon Martin, was a strict man with high expectations of his son, and the actor and comedian has been quoted saying that they didn’t get on well at all throughout most of his childhood and adolescence. Nonetheless, Glenn’s periodic dabbling in acting inspired Steve Martin with an affinity for show business – an affinity that Martin wasted no time in realizing, finding employment in Disneyland when he was still only ten years old. It was there that Steve Martin learned the first tricks of his trade, performing as a magician and illusionist, and he would continue to refine these skills during his years in college. Initially performing in night clubs and small-time television productions, Martin’s first success came with an unexpected suddenness when, at only 23 years old, he was awarded a Primetime Emmy together with the other writers of “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour”. This was a significant start to Steve’s net worth.
After this sudden triumph, Steve Martin’s career was quick to take off. Martin appeared as a stand-up comedian in several popular television talk shows, including NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” – where his performances met with enormous success, bumping the show’s audience up by roughly a million viewers. Steve’s net worth rose accordingly, but subsequently he released a number of comedy albums, and all this combined to win Martin the sort of devoted fan-base usually associated with rock stars, not comedians – which, in turn, opened the door for his film debut. Martin has since gone on to appear in countless successful films, including the 1984 smash hit “All of Me”, in which Martin appeared alongside fellow comedian Lily Tomlin. Martin’s appearances in almost 60 films have won him worldwide fame, and they are often considered to be the main source of his staggering net worth – although, with a career as varied as Steve Martin’s who can ever truly tell? His appearances in almost as many TV series’ and shows have surely contributed just as much to Steve’s wealth, plus his works as a writer and producer are significant too. Suffice to say that Steve’s net worth is reputed to have doubled in the last five years.
In his personal life, Steve Martin was married to actress Victoria Tennant(1986-94), and now lives married to the writer and journalist Anne Stringfield, with whom he had his first child in 2012. Though Martin remains a high-profile figure, appearing in a number of recent productions, the star performer and actor keeps his private life strictly off limits – to the point where he hasn’t even disclosed the gender of his recently-born child to the public.
