Larry The Cable Guy’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Larry The Cable Guy Net Worth: Larry the Cable Guy is an American stand-up comedian and actor who has a net worth of $100 million. He first became famous as one of the members of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour where he established what would become his famous “git-R-done” catchphrase. Larry has released multiple comedy albums that have been certified gold by the RIAA. He is also an actor, probably best-known for voicing Mater in the “Cars” franchise. At the peak of his career and fame, Larry earned $70 million in a single year, mainly through touring and endorsements. In years when he chooses to tour, Larry can easily earn $10 – $20 million from endorsements. He has earned tens of millions of dollars from a single endorsement, for the drug Prilosec. Early Life: Daniel Lawrence Whitney, better known by his stage name Larry the Cable Guy, was born in Pawnee City, Nebraska, on February 17, 1963, where he was raised on a pig farm. His parents are Tom Whitney, a guitarist, entertainer, and Christian minister, and Shirley Whitney. Larry attended The King’s Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida, for high school, in the late 1970s, while he father was the principal of The King’s Academy’s elementary school. He then transferred to Berean Christian School in West Palm Beach in 1980, and graduated from there in 1982. He continued his education at Baptist University of America in Georgia, and the University of Nebraska—Lincoln, majoring in drama and speech. However, he dropped out of college after his junior year to pursue a career in comedy. He credits his college roommates from Texas and Georgia for inspiring his Southern accent impression, which later became a central part of his Cable Guy character. Career: Larry actually kicked his career off with numerous radio appearances in the early 1990s. Some of the programs he appeared on include the nationally syndicated “The Ron and Ron Show”, “The Bob and Tom Show”, “The Chris Baker Show” on KDGE, “The Todd and Tyler Show” on KEZO in Omaha, the “Kirk, Mark, and Lopez” morning show on WIYY in Maryland, and “The Johnny Dare Morning Show” on KQRC in Kansas City. He continued to make a name for himself, and started appearing in more and more shows around the country, including in Orlando, Florida. He also began doing two commentaries a week for WHEB 100.3 in New England, and WGIR-FM 101.1 in Portsmouth and Manchester, New Hampshire. He developed his Larry the Cable Guy persona after only achieving limited success and popularity when performing stand-up under his real name. The Cable Guy character has a thick Southern accent, sports a stereotypical redneck appearance, and has the signature catchphrase “Git-R-Done!”. He talks about topics ranging from family stories to jokes about his redneck “background”, and uses catchphrase humor. Some of his other catchphrases include saying “Lord, I apologize, and be with the starvin’ Pygmies in New Guinea, Amen” after he tells jokes of questionable taste; and “I don’t care who ya are, that’s funny right there” to get the audience to laugh with him. Larry’s big break really came in 2000, when fellow comedian and friend Jeff Foxworthy (the two met years earlier on Foxworthy’s radio show) invited Larry to join his “Blue Collar Comedy tour”. Rounding off the group with Larry and Foxworthy was comedian Bill Engvall. The tour became a monster success. To top it all off, when the tour was released as a live comedy DVD it sold over a million copies. Larry followed this success and newfound fame with his first two comedy albums, “Lord, I Apologize” (2001) and “The Right to Bare Arms” (2005), which were both huge successes and have been certified gold by the RIAA. He released the autobiographical book “GIT-R-DONE” in 2005, which featured an introduction by fellow comedian and his close personal friend, Lewis Black. Then, in 2006, Larry brought the Cable guy to cinemas across the country with “Larry the Cable Guy: Health inspector”. A year later, Larry appeared in “Witless Protection”. His third comedy album, “Morning Constitutions”, and its accompanying TV special were released in 2007. He has also released two Christmas albums, “A Very Larry Christmas” (2004) and “Christmastime in Larryland” (2007). “Only in America with Larry the Cable Guy”, his travelogue series on the History Channel, premiered on February 8, 2011, and attracted a total of 4.1 million viewers. Of those viewers, 1.7 million were part of the adults aged 25-54 demographic. In the season two episode “Larry Goes to Washington”, Larry actually became the first on-air talent from a non-news crew in history to be allowed into the War Room (aka the Command Center). Larry has also branched out into acting. He is the voice of the character Mater in the animated Pixar films “Cars” (2006), “Cars 2” (2011), and “Cars 3” (2017). He has also appeared in movies such as “Delta Farces” (2007), “Witless Protection” (2008), “Tooth Fairy 2” (2012), “A Madea Christmas” (2013), and “Jingle All the Way 2” (2014). Personal Life: Larry is a resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, where he lives on a 180-acre farm with his family. He married his wife Cara in July 2005, and together they have two children. His son, Wyatt, suffered from dysplasia as an infant and was treated at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando, Florida. In September 2010, Larry donated $5 million to the hospital, for the further development of the International Hip Dysplasia Institute there. In addition to his private donations, Larry has also raised money for the hospital through appearances on game shows like “Family Feud” and “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?”. In May 2012, the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children opened a new wing, named the Wyatt Whitney Wing. Real Estate: In May 2016 Larry paid $3.6 million for a home in Scottsdale, Arizona. He previously owned a home in Sanford, Florida and still owns a property near where he grew up in Nebraska.

Channing Tatum’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Channing Tatum net worth and salary: Channing Tatum is an American actor, dancer, producer, and model who has a net worth of $80 million dollars. He is certainly a very highly-paid actor, but he has been the highest paid actor in the world on at least one occasion thanks to an extremely lucrative deal that paid off for the film “Magic Mike”, which we outline below. Channing earned around $90 million pre-tax (pre-divorce) from the two Magic Mike films. Early Life: Channing Tatum was born on April 26 1980 in Cullman, Alabama, the son of Kay Tatum and Glenn Tatum (an airline worker and construction builder, respectively). He was raised in a rural setting in the bayous of Mississippi near the Mississippi River. He was active in sports growing up and had trouble with schoolwork due to a diagnosis of ADD and Dyslexia. Tatum attended Gaither High School in Tampa, Florida and Glenville State College in West Virginia on a football scholarship. He later dropped out to return home, where he worked odd jobs. He started as a roofer, and then eventually became a stripper at a local nightclub under the pseudonym Chan Crawford. Career: Tatum’s first taste of showbiz came when he was cast as a dancer in Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” video in 2000, and was paid $400 for the job. He was discovered by a model talent scout, and was signed with Page 305 Modeling Agency. He began to model for big names like Gap, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, and Abercrombie & Fitch, and then eventually moved into national TV ads for Mountain Dew and Pepsi in 2002. Tatum signed with Ford Models in New York City and continued to work with them until he began to pursue acting roles. Channing’s first movie role was opposite Amanda Bynes in “She’s the Man” (2006). Later that year, Tatum got his breakout role when he starred opposite Jenna Dewan in critically-panned but box office win “Step Up”. Between 2006-2009, Tatum appeared in seven films. He first tried his hand at producing with “A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints”, teaming up with Dito Montiel as co-producer. Tatum played the starring role of Sean McArthur, a young hustler who makes a living off scalping tickets in New York City. In early 2012, Tatum made a statement to Details magazine that he wanted to work as a producer of all the films he starred in in the future, as he wanted input from the ground up in creating each film. He and his wife (Jenna Dewan) and Reid Carolin, their production partner, signed a production deal with Relativity Media for any movies developed during that time. 2012 was a huge year for Tatum. He co-starred in Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire, starred with Rachel McAdams in The Vow, and co-starred with Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street. In addition, he played the title role in the critically and audience acclaimed hit Magic Mike, a role that catapulted him to the spotlight. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and co-produced by Tatum, the plot was loosely based around Tatum’s eight-month experience working as a male stripper in Florida. The film also starred Joe Manganiello and Matthew McConaughey. They worked within a modest budget of $7 million dollars, and the film went on to be a surprise box-office smash, raking in $167,221,571 worldwide. It was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews and was listed on many critics’ top ten lists for the year. Tatum guest-hosted Saturday Night Live that year, and in November 2012 was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. In 2012, Tatum teamed up yet again with Soderbergh to star in “Side Effects” alongside Rooney Mara and Jude Law. He appeared in White House Down, another action movie, in 2013. Tatum reprised his starring role from 21 Jump Street in the successful sequel, 22 Jump Street (2014.) Later in 2014 he starred with Steve Carell in Foxcatcher. The film was nominated for several prestigious awards, including Oscars and a nomination for Best Picture at the Golden Globes. He later reprised his role of Mike in Magic Mike’s sequel, Magic Mike XXL, which he also co-produced. In 2015, he starred in epic sci-fi “Jupiter Ascending.” Tatum continues to both act and to have a heavy hand in production. He started two more production companies, 33andOut Productions and Iron Horse Entertainment. He has won more than 20 awards including a People’s Choice Award for Favorite Movie Actor in 2016. Channing Tatum’s Magic Mike payday: Channing took a big risk on the movie Magic Mike. Instead of financing the movie in a traditional system, where a movie studio puts up the money and takes all the profits, Channing and fellow producer Steven Soderbergh financed the $7 million budget themselves and paid Warner Brothers a flat fee to distribute the movie. Magic Mike was a smash hit in terms of box office receipts, streaming and DVD sales. The result was both Channing and Soderberg earning $60 million. The duo earned another $30 million a piece from the second movie. Personal Life: Channing met Jenna Dewan on the set of Step Up in 2006. They married on July 11, 2009 in Malibu. Their daughter, Everly, was born in London (where the couple had been living during the filming of Jupiter Ascending) in May 2013. In April 2018, after almost 9 years of marriage, Tatum and Dewan announced their separation. Their divorce was finalized in November 2019. Since they were married during some extremely successful years for Channing, Jenna is believed to have been paid a divorce settlement in the $20-30 million range including real estate and ongoing spousal support. In 2018, Tatum began dating singer Jessie J. The two broke up briefly in 2019 but reconciled in early 2020. Real Estate: In 2008, Channing and Jenna paid $2.6 million for a hillside home in LA’s Laurel Canyon. In February 2018, the Channings paid $6 million for a home in Beverly Hills, California. They no longer own the Laurel Canyon home and after the divorce, Jenna kept the Beverly Hills home. After moving out, Channing rented a home in LA’s San Fernando Valley for $25,000 per month. It’s not clear as of this writing if he has purchased a new primary residence for himself.
