Ahmet Zappa Net Worth $1.5 Million
Ahmet was born the third child of famous musician Frank Zappa and his wife, Gail Zappa who was a successful businesswoman. He grew up in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles with three other siblings, all of whom are successful artists today. Ahmet’s parents were of mixed origins. His father, Frank, is of Sicilian, French, Arab and Greek ancestry and his mother was of French, Danish and Irish descent. Ahmet started his television career at the beginning of the ‘90s, when he appeared on “The Adam and Joe Show” in 1990. He was next seen in the horror film “Children of The Corn V” (1998) in which he played the role of Lazlo. Apart from this, Ahmet has appeared or voiced-over in a few more films such as “Jack Frost” (1998), “Gen” (2000), and then had a smaller role in the film “Ready To Rumble” (2000), and also made a cover of Britney Spears’ song “Baby One More Time” for the film’s soundtrack in cooperation with his older brother Dweezil. No doubt these activities added to Ahmet’s net worth.
During the early 2000s, Zappa hosted “Robotica”, a robot combat show which ran for three seasons. However, although he was seen in several films and TV show, Ahmet is largely known as a writer, mostly thanks to his debut novel from 2006, “The Monstrous Memoirs of a Mighty McFearless” which was dedicated to children. The book was very successful, so the Bruckheimer Films and Disney bought the rights for a movie, and it is expected to be released soon. The same year, The Jim Henson Company hired Zappa to write a procedure for “Fraggle Rock: The Movie” which is the film version of the 1980s hit TV show of the same name. These all contributed to his net worth.
Relying on his talents, Ahmet came up with the idea of creating a novel-to-film division in Disney’s studio, and suggested it to Bob Iger, the chairman of the Walt Disney Company. Iger accepted, and Ahmet ended up as the founder and co-ordinator of “Disney’s Kingdom Comics”.
Then in 2010 Zappa founded his own company thanks to his deal with Disney Studios, and called it “Monsterfoot Productions”, creating and releasing many films ever since. The first one, “The Odd Life Of Timothy Green” was released in 2012 and starred Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Garner.
Ahmet’s siblings are Dweezil Zappa, a successful musician, Moon Zappa who is an actress and Diva Zappa who is an artist. When it comes to his love life, he was married to actress Selma Blair for two years, but divorced in 2006. His second wife is a designer, stylist and writer, Shana Muldoon, who he married in 2010, and the couple have a daughter.
