Chad was born to Filipino parents in South Hampton Roads, Portsmouth, Virginia, where he spent his childhood. He met his peer and later partner, Pharrell Williams, at an early age, when the two were attending a summer camp organized by the school for The Gifted and Talented. Their friendship and mutual interest towards music continued, and eventually resulted in their collaboration by playing together in several bands and mixing different beats, a modest start to his net worth.

Hugo’s early career consisted of sporadic productions for other artists, who were frequently associated with Teddy Riley. After founding “The Neptunes” in the early 1990s, the group gained popularity by writing songs and producing music for artists like “N.O.R.E” and “Mystikal”, and later produced for big names like Jay-Z. All of this led to Hugo signing a deal with BMG Music Publishing, with “The Neptunes” being named Producers of the Year in 2002, at both The Source Awards and the Billboard Music Awards. The duo released “The Neptunes Presents…Clones” album a year later, which reached number one, further helping Chad’ds net worth to grow

However, Hugo proved himself as a successful independent producer as well, especially after producing the “New Sacred Cow” album for “Kenna” in 2003. His collaboration with this musician continued when Chad did the majority of the production on “Kenna’s” 2007 album “Make Sure They See My Face” and his EP “Land 2 Air Chronicles I- Chaos and The Darkness” in 2011, which all increased Hugo’s net worth. Another one of his career projects began in 2011, along with Daniel Biltmore, when they created “Missile Command”, a DJ duo team which later signed a deal with “Fool’s Gold Records” to release their music. Apart from this, Chad created an alternative band with Paul Banks by the name “No Planes In Space”, thus notably increasing his net worth.

Chad’s more recent work includes producing albums for various artists. Once again collaborating with Kenna, Hugo produced this artist’s new EP “Land 2 Air Chronicles II: Imitation Is Suicide” which was released in September 2013. The same year, he worked with Malaysian artist “Yuna”, for one of her songs on the “Nocturnal” album. In 2014, Chad worked with numerous artists such as “Red Velvet”, DJ Qbert, “Kid Sister”, and releasing remixes for Graph Gonzales’ “Heartbreaker”, “Little Dragons”, “Killing Me”, ”St. Vincents” and “Digital Witness”. Hugo reunited with “N.E.R.D” in 2015 to contribute three songs to “The SpongeBob Movie 2: Sponge Out Of Water OST”. He also teamed up with Pharrell Williams for Snoop Dogg’s album “Bush”. Clearly Chad’s net worth continues to grow.

Rumor had it that Chad Hugo is gay, due to his appearances with unknown men in public. But, after introducing his wife Rachel(m. 1996) to the public in one of his videos, the speculations were seen as false. They have three children and lead a very private family life.

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.

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.
