January 13, 2022 By Leave a Comment

1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton's Net Worth

Amy and Tammy Slaton started sharing their weight loss journey on television less than two years ago. Over that time, they’ve really made a name for themselves as reality TV stars. The two sisters have both made some strides in their weight loss journey, with Amy meeting her goals. Interestingly, Amy Slaton earns a lot more than her sister. So what is 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth?

Who Are Amy and Tammy Slaton?

Amy and Tammy Slaton are better known as the 1000-Lb. Sisters from the reality television show of that same name. When the show began, they had a combined weight of approximately that much, hence the attention-grabbing name.

Amy Slaton was no stranger to sharing her story with the world before they began working on this show together. She had a YouTube channel where she shared product reviews and more. In fact, she supported herself in large part thanks to this channel. However, she also got some disability income because of the fact that she is legally blind due to an eye condition.

In any case, the sisters did a video together in 2014 called A Chubby Bunny Challenge. It’s received over two million views. And it helped gain them a following, Amy especially since it was her channel, that ultimately led to them getting the television show that has made them, considerably more famous. Tammy started her own YouTube Channel a few years later, in 2018, with her first episode showing her baking a cake.

What Were Their Lives Like Before The Show?

Amy and Tammy Slaton grew up in a financially unstable situation. They struggled with money and both found it hard to get and keep jobs because of their various health conditions. Amy was able to support herself through YouTube, and she also has a husband who works to support the family.

Reportedly the girls had a tough childhood. Family members, including their mother, called them names including fat and lazy. And yet, they did nothing to help the girls lose weight – neither by providing good nutrition nor by offering them emotional support. Tammy is 35 years old now and began comfort eating to excess at the age of 11 after the death of her grandmother.

In addition to the two sisters, they have two additional sisters and a brother. Their mother worked three jobs to support them on her own. Still, they never had enough money. The local church sometimes fed them or they ate fast food for meals.

Tammy Slaton’s Journey on 1000-Lb. Sisters

Obviously, by the time they were invited to be on their own show, both Tammy and Amy were extremely overweight. They both wanted to get bariatric surgery to assist them in their weight loss. Amy has gotten the surgery, had a child, and reached her goal weight since the show began.

Tammy, unfortunately, hasn’t had as much success. Much of the show has focused on her personal relationships, including two problematic boyfriends. Her relationship with Amy seems to have suffered since Amy has begun doing well in her weight loss journey, leaving Tammy behind. Amy attempted to help Tammy — hiring a home health aide but to no avail. Tammy often refuses to exercise, even just to walk to the mailbox, and continues to struggle with concerning health issues.

Where Does 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth Come From?

Obviously, most of 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth comes from her appearance on the sisters’ reality television show. Reports indicate that the sisters likely earn the same amount of money per episode for the show. Guesstimates place that amount at $5,000 per episode or $50,000 per season. The sisters are in their third season of the show right now and will likely get a pay increase with every new season.

Of course, that’s nothing to sneeze at. But $50,000 isn’t mega-rich either. In some states, it’s not even enough to pay the bills. Luckily, they live in Kentucky, which has a relatively low cost of living. That said, like many people, they want to earn more than that.

Therefore it’s no surprise that both sisters supplement their income. They do so in the ways that help grow income for many reality television stars: public appearances, YouTube and other social media advertising, merch sales, etc. Tammy Slaton has 135, 000 YouTube subscribers, with over 6 million total views.

What Is 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s Net Worth?

According to the latest sources, the two sisters have quite a difference in their net worth. Amy Slaton earns considerably more than her sister. Therefore, her net worth is about one-quarter of a million dollars. In contrast, reports indicate that 1000-Lb. Sister Tammy Slaton’s net worth is only about $100,000.

What accounts for the difference? In part, this has to do with the things that were going on before the sisters ever became reality television stars. Amy started earning money for herself on YouTube several years before Tammy did. She gained a bigger following and worked more at sponsorships and other opportunities. She was financially stable before her sister. Tammy is playing catch-up.

Additionally, one can speculate that perhaps Amy also gets more opportunities related to the show because of her “success” compared to Tammy. The point of the show is to highlight their weight loss journeys. Of course, those journeys naturally have ups and downs. But overall, Amy is viewed as successful in her weight loss. People who are interested in inspiring “before” and “after” stories are drawn into that. As a result, she might get more opportunities to earn income as a spokesperson, etc.

Dule Hill’s Net Worth

November 11, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Dule Hill's Net Worth

Dule Hill, whose first name is Karim according to Wikipedia, is a television and film actor. Do you recognize him by name? What if we told you that he played the character of Gus on the TV show “Psych”? Or that he was Charlie Young on “The West Wing?” If you weren’t familiar with his name before, then it’s probably ringing a bell now. But do you have any guess as to Dule Hill’s net worth?

Who Is Dule Hill?

According to his IMDB biography, Dule Hill was born in New Jersey in 1975. His parents are Jamaican; Dad is an entrepreneur and mom a teacher. He has one older brother.

Although he ultimately has become well-known for his acting roles on both the small and big screen, Dule Hill started out as a singer and dancer. In fact, believe it or not, he was only three years old when he joined the Marie Wildey School of Dance. Three years old!

When he was still a young child, he got the role of Savion Glover’s understudy for Broadway’s “The Tap Dance Kid.” He went on to perform that lead role for over a year when the musical did its national tour. Wikipedia reports that at age 10 he went on Jerry Lewis’s MDA telethon to tap dance, which he ended up having to do to an unexpected song played live by the orchestra because they couldn’t find his music! IMDB adds that other musicals he was in while young include “Little Rascals,” “Black & Blue,” and “Shenandoah.”

Fun fact from IMDB: Hill still enjoys tap dancing. In fact, he did so with Savion Glover in 2001 at the 32nd NAACP Image Awards show.

High School and College

Although he was doing well on stage, he was also interested in screen acting. Hill started getting jobs in commercials. Then, he appeared in his first film while still in his senior year of high school. The film was “Sugar Hill.” He played the younger version of Wesley Snipes’ character in the film.

Before that year (1993) was over, he had started attending college while at the same time appearing on Jim Henson’s Saturday morning show “CityKids.” Although he had enough success behind him to have given acting a full-time go, education was important to him, perhaps because his mom is an educator. He decided to continue studying acting at William Esper Studio, honing his craft.

But at the same time he gave himself an edge up on life by also attending Seton Hall University where he studied business finance. Whether or not you go into business for a living, knowing about money is good common sense, and it’s surely helped as Dule Hill’s net worth has grown. That said, IMDB reports that ultimately he had to make a decision about whether to stay at Seton Hall of accept the starring role in Broadway’s “Bring in Da’ Noise, Bring In Da’ Funk.” He chose the latter, leaving college during his junior year. He spent over two years in that role and it served I’m well as far as networking and accolades.

Dule Hill’s TV and Film Appearances

We already know that Dule Hill’s first film was “Sugar Hill” in 1993. But what else has he done on the big and small screens that have contributed to Dule Hill’s net worth?

IMDB shows that he had small roles on a variety of different television shows and TV movies from 1993 – 1999. Then in 1999 he was in the film “She’s All That.” Additional films quickly followed including “Men of Honor” in 2000, “Holes” in 2003, “Sexual Life” in 2004, “Edmund” in 2005, and “The Guardian” in 2006.

Dule Hill’s Big TV Roles

At the same time, though, he was making a name for himself on “The West Wing.” He played Charlie Young from 1999 – 2006. In 2001 and 2002, he and the cast won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. They were nominated for that award in other years as well.

Then in 2006 he started playing the role of Burton “Gus” Guster on “Psych” which was just a web series at the time. However, it was quickly picked up as a TV series and he continued to play that role for about eight years. During those years, he also made appearances in several films and shorts.

After “Psych” came to an end, Dule Hill chalked up a number of other TV roles:

  • Larry Siefert in “Ballers”
  • Albert Cobb in “Doubt”
  • Alex Williams in “Suits”
  • Marcus Duane Wainwright III in “Black Monday”
  • Mr. Manny in the “Muppet Babies” TV short

Most recently, he’s playing the role of Bill Williams in the new version of “The Wonder Years.”

Additional Movie Mentions

In addition to the movies noted above, there have been three TV movie spinoffs of “Psych.” The first was in 2017. The second in 2020. And the final is filming now. It’s called “This Is Gus” so presumably he is the main focus of this movie. Depending how that does, it could potentially add to Dule Hill’s net worth.

Dule Hill also has three other movies from 2021: “Locked Down,” “Night of the Animated Dead” (which is a voice role), and “Hypnotic.” He sure is keeping busy!

Dule Hill’s Personal Life

Dule Hill married Canadian actress Nicole Lyn in 2004. She had been in some episodes of “The West Wing.” And fun fact, according to IMDB, she also started taking dance classes at age three. They were married for about eight years, divorcing without having any children.

In 2017, Dule Hill became engaged to Jazmyn Simon. She had been on the show “Ballers” with him. She already had a daughter, who Hill adopted. In 2019, the now-married couple had a son together, Levi Dule Hill. Ecelebrityspy reports that the family lives in a 4000 square foot house. It was a 1970s house that they renovated, and you can actually see the renovation on the show “Styling Hollywood” on Netflix.

Dule Hill’s Net Worth

Okay, so we know how Dule Hill started off in life. We know about his early Broadway work and his ongoing work in TV and film. But do we know Dule Hill’s net worth? Celebrity Net Worth is typically our most accurate source for this type of information. They say that Dule Hill’s net worth is $8 million. Ecelbrityspy makes a guess that Dule Hill earned  somewhere between $200,000 and $500,000 per episode of “Psych” but we have not been able to confirm the accuracy of that guess.

What’s your favorite role that Dule Hill has played?

Elizabeth Olsen’s Net Worth

October 25, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Elizabeth Olsen's Net Worth

The Olsen family is an interesting creative family. Almost everyone knows Olsen twins Mary-Kate and Ashley. Together, and separately, those two have amassed an astounding net worth. However, we’re increasingly noticing their little sister Elizabeth. Although she’s nowhere near as famous as her big twin sisters, she’s a terrific actress in her own right. So, what is Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth?

Who Is Elizabeth Olsen?

As we’ve established, Elizabeth is little sister to famous twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The twins first became famous playing Michelle on the original “Full House” series. Then they went on to dominate the Hollywood headlines for various positive and negative things over the years. Sister Elizabeth is three years younger than the twins. IMDB reports that she also has an older brother named Trent. Moreover, she has two younger half siblings, Jake and Courtney. Her parents divorced when Elizabeth was still in elementary school.

A Creative Family And The Start of An Acting Career

Obviously, the Olsen twins were very young when they first became known for their role on “Full House.” As their stars began to shine brighter and brighter, Elizabeth was the lesser-known little sister. However, her parents always encouraged creativity. And she had just as much interest in performing as her sisters did. According to IMDB she took ballet and singing lessons as a child. (Her mother, Jarnette, was an LA ballet dancer.) After high school, Elizabeth Olsen took classes at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts as well as a semester of study at the Moscow Art Theatre School.

Moreover, although she wasn’t as well-known as her big sisters, she started acting almost as young as they did. She got her first small gig at age 4. When her sisters were in “The Adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley” and “How The West Was Fun”, Elizabeth appeared alongside them in small roles. By age ten, trying perhaps to get out from under her sisters’ shadows, she started auditioning for a variety of different film projects unrelated to what the twins were doing.

However, around 2004, her sisters started getting into a lot of controversy. In particular, there was stigma around sister Mary-Kate’s challenges with an eating disorder. IMDB reports that Elizabeth almost quit acting altogether at that time, desiring to remain out of the controversy spotlight. She is quoted on IMDB as saying “When I was 14 or 15, I was a really good volleyball player, so I thought, ‘Well, maybe I’ll just get a scholarship to an Ivy League school through volleyball.’ Then I quit when I decided to focus on theater.”

Elizabeth Olsen’s Acting Career

After a little bit of time had passed, though, Elizabeth returned to acting. We started to see her emerge in 2011. She’s appeared in multiple movies and TV shows every year since with the notable exception of COVID-19 year 2020.

In 2011, Elizabeth acted in the films “Silent House,” “Peace, Love, and Misunderstanding,” and “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” In the latter film, she played the title star in a dramatic tale of dealing with trauma after fleeing a cult. The critics took note and she was nominated for several awards for her role.

2013 was a big year for the actress. She was in “Very Good Girls” with Dakota Fanning. She co-starred in “Oldboy”, a remake of a 2003 South Korean film. Then she also gained attention for playing Edie Parker (first wife of Jack Kerouac) in “Kill Your Darlings.” Moreover, this was the year that she graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts after six years of off and on study. Additionally, she was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star award that year.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Avengers Roles

In 2014 she appeared in the “Godzilla” remake. Then in 2015 she joined the Marvel family, playing the role of Wanda Maximoff and the Scarlet Witch first in “Captain America” and then in “Avengers.” There have since been several additional Avengers films that she’s played key roles in. As a result, this is one of the characters she is most well known for. Certainly a decent portion of Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth comes from her relationship with Marvel. This continues with the 2022 planned release of “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.”

Elizabeth Olsen’s TV Appearances

In recent years, she’s also performed in a number of different television shows and mini-series. One of these is Avengers-related as well. She continued her role as Wanda Maximoff / The Scarlet Witch “WandaVision,” a 2021 TV mini-series. Prior to that, she had spent two years in the role of Leigh Shaw on “Sorry for Your Loss.” She is currently filming an upcoming TV mini-series called “Love and Death.”

Awards and Nominations

Acting awards and nominations don’t necessarily directly contribute to Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth. However they help establish credibility in the industry which can boost the amount an actor can ask for in future rules. As aforementioned, she was nominated for the 2013 BAFTA Rising Star award.

And she also received lots of nominations and award in 2011 for her role in “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” For example, that film earned her Best Breakthrough Performance from the Alliance of Women Film Journalists. Furthermore, she won:

  • Central Ohio Film Critics Association’s Best Actress Award
  • Chicago Film Critics Association Awards Most Promising Performer
  • Florida Film Critics Circle Awards Pauline Kael Breakout Award
  • Ghent International Film Festival Special Mention
  • Indiana Film Journalists Association, US Best Actress Award
  • Nevada Film Critics Society Best Breakthrough Performance
  • Phoenix Film Critics Society Awards Best Actress in a Leading Role as well as Breakout on Camera Award
  • Vancouver Film Critics Circle Best Actress

And that’s just for that one role. She’s received numerous other award nominations and some wins for various roles. Most recently, she won the 2021 MTV Movie + TV Awards Best Performance in a Show as well as Best Fight (shared with Kathryn Hahn) for WandaVision.

Elizabeth Olsen’s Net Worth

Although she started acting in small roles when she was just a child,. Elizabeth Olsen has really come into her own in the past decade. In particular, her relationship with Marvel has contributed a lot to Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth as well as her celebrity status.

So what is Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth? Current sources report that she’s worth $11 – $12 million. Celebrity Net Worth, typically a reliable source for this information, puts her value at $11 million. However, several other news sources, such as InStyle place her closer to $12 million.

InStyle notes that this means Elizabeth Olsen’s net worth is paltry compared to her twin sisters, who are collectively worth $500 million (which they split evenly.) Of course, the twins’ early success was a huge contributing factor. InStyle reports that they started out earning $2400 per “Full House” episode but were earning $80,000 per episode by the end of the series. They were still toddlers at the time. At 18, they took over their own entertainment business, which produced most of their own acting work, generating additional strong income.

The Olsen twins haven’t done a lot of acting as adults. Instead, they switched to the world of fashion, where they have had massive success. Their brand “Elizabeth & James” is obviously named in part after their little sister. With the twins’ fashion focus and Elizabeth’s growing acting success, she’s poised to dominate the acting scene as far as the Olsen family goes. This could mean that her net worth will rise considerably in the years to come.

Rooney Mara’s Net Worth

September 23, 2021 By Leave a Comment

Rooney Mara's Net Worth

Rooney Mara is a really interesting actress and an even more interesting person. She’s known for her philanthropy. She’s also known for her engagement to actor Joaquin Phoenix, with whom she has a son. Plus, of course, she’s known for her films, which include Oscar nominees for her roles in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “Carol.” So what is Rooney Mara’s net worth?

Who Is Rooney Mara?

According to her IMDB bio, she was born Patricia Rooney Mara in April 1985 in New York. Her family has some well-known people in it. Many are known in the world of sports. For example, her great-grandpa Art Rooney founded the Pittsburgh Steelers. Her grandfather Wellington Mara co-owns The Giants. But her family has made waves in other areas as well. Her grand-uncle Dan Rooney was an Ambassador to Ireland. Cousins Tom and Patric Rooney are US and state representatives respectively. Her sister Kate Mara, two years older than Rooney, is an actress. In fact, seeing her acting career is what inspired Rooney to try acting,

Rooney Mara’s Many Interests

Although she did obviously end up pursing an acting career, Rooney Mara wasn’t sure that she could develop a good net worth in this field. She considered a lot of other options. Right after high school she spent four months traveling in South America to learn more about the world. Then she went to college, getting a degree in international social policy psychology and nonprofit organizations from New York University. She graduated in 2010. However, she had already started to pursue acting while in college.

Rooney Mara’s Acting Career

Obviously, Rooney Mara’s net worth now comes from her acting career. She began auditioning when she was about 19, and she was immediately a hit. In her earliest movies, she went by the names Patricia Mara or Tricia Mara. However, after a few years she started going by her middle name instead. In 2005, she appeared alongside her sister in “Urban Legends: Bloody Mary”, thus launching her acting career. Over the next few years she appeared on TV episodes for series including “Law and Order: SVU,” “Women’s Murder Club,” “The Cleaner,” and “ER.”

In 2007 she auditioned for a supporting role in the film “Tanner Hall.” However, the director fell in love with her and asked her to re-audition, this time for the lead. She was cast in the lead and the movie came out in 2009. She received several awards for that role. In 201o, she was cast as the lead in “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” Credits following that role include:

  • “The Social Network” in 2010
  • “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” in 2011
  • “Side Effects” and “Her” in 2013
  • “Carol” in 2015
  • 3 films plus a voice role in 2016 (the voice role was for “Kubo and the Two Strings”
  • “Mary Magdalene” in 2018
  • “Nightmare Alley” which is a 2021 release
  • “Women Talking” which is in post-production for a 2022 release

Rooney Mara’s Awards

Rooney Mara’s net worth isn’t directly tied to her awards. But, of course, the more recognized an actress is, the higher rates she gets paid. IMDB reports that in addition to her two Oscar nominees mentioned above, she has 65 nominations and 27 wins from a variety of different awards organizations. A handful of her winning awards include:

  • AACTA International Awards Best Supporting Actress for “Carol.” She also received several other awards for this role including Best Actress from the Cannes Film Festival.
  • Alliance of Women Film Journalists Kick Ass Award for Best Female Action Star for “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo”. She also received the Golden Schmoes Awards for Best Actress of the Year for this film.
  • Gen Art Film Festival Emerging Actress Award for “Tanner Hall”
  • In 2013, she received the LA Femme International Film Festival Best Feature Director award for “The Truth About Emanuel.” That’s right; she’s done some directing as well.

Rooney Mara’s Personal Life

We’ve discussed her family of origin, but now let’s talk about her adult personal life. She dated producer / director Charlie McDowell for about 6 years ending in 2016. While they were dating, she met Joaquin Phoenix on the set of “Her.” However, it wasn’t until 2018 that they began to spend a lot of time together. According to Celebrity Net Worth, they worked together that year on the sets of “Mary Magdalene” and “Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot,” as well as on the animal rights documentary titled “Dominion.”

The two bgan dating and soon after got engaged, although so far it doesn’t seem that a marriage has taken place. They did, however, have their first son in September 2020. They named him River in honor of Joaquin’s well-known actor brother who died of a drug overdose outside The Viper Room in his early twenties.

Rooney Mara’s Global Concerns

Both Mara and Phoenix are longtime vegetarian/vegans. They’ll educate River about the same but will allow him to make his own choices when it comes to food. Mara is quoted in Vanity Fair as saying that having River has made her even more concerned about the world, adding, “I feel so fortunate to be able to nurture my son in all of the ways that nature intended and I wish all mothers in the animal kingdom could experience that sacred maternal bond with their young, devoid of exploitation by humans.”

Mara’s family has long been known for various philanthropic efforts. For her part, her IMDB profile reports that she founded Faces of Kibera. After all, although Rooney Mara’s net worth comes from her acting, we know that her education is in non-profit organization. Faces of Kibera provides a variety off care to orphans living in the Kibra district of Kenya, Nairobi.

Some off Rooney Mara’s net worth also comes from a vegan clothing line she started called Hiraeth Collective. Although it’s for-profit, it’s obviously animal-conscious. She launched this business in 2018.

Rooney Mara’s Net Worth

So, Rooney Mara makes her money off of her films and her vegan clothing line. She also likely has family money. The Things reports that she and her sister Kate are heirs to “two multi-billion dollar NFL dynasties.”

Since she and Joaquin Phoenix are not married, they do not share net worth. So what is Rooney Mara’s net worth? Celebrity Net Worth places it at $16 million. The Things reports that combined with her sister, they have a net worth of $26 million. However, when you combine their whole family together, their net worth climbs to a whopping $3 billion. Of course that’s spread out with their two brothers, more than 20 aunts and uncles, 40+ cousins, etc.
