Clive Anthony Ulyate (born 11 December 1933) was a South African sportsman who played international rugby union for South Africa. He also played first-class cricket.
Ulyate, a fly-half, played his early rugby at Hilton College, before moving on to the University of Witwatersrand RFC. He would later play provincially for Transvaal. He was capped four times for South Africa during the British Lions tour of South Africa in 1955. In the Test in Port Elizabeth, which the Springboks won, Ulyate scored a try and kicked a drop goal. He played three further Tests for South Africa, in their 1956 tour of New Zealand.
He was an all-rounder on the cricket field and played four first-class matches. His first appearance was in the 1955/56 Currie Cup season, playing for Transvaal against Natal. He had minimal impact on the match but did claim the wicket of Test opener Trevor Goddard. It was until 1964, with Eastern Province, that he played another first-class match. He played once for Eastern Province in 1964/65 and then appeared twice for them in the 1965/66 Currie Cup. His best performance came in the 1964/65 fixture, which was against North Eastern Transvaal. He scored the only half-century of his career, 55, in the first innings and then took 3/58.

Bud Abbott’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Bud Abbott net worth: Bud Abbott was an American actor who had a net worth equal to $50 thousand at the time of his death in 1974. That’s the same as around $260 thousand in today’s dollars after adjusting for inflation. Abbott’s net worth was at one point exponentially higher, unfortunately by the time he died he claimed to be nearly broke. More details on this later in the article. He was best known for being one half of the film comedy act Abbott and Costello. He played the straight man to Lou Costello. Bud Abbott was born in Asbury Park, New Jersey in October 1897. He died in April 1974. Abbott was born into a show business family and worked in box offices of theaters before he became a comedian and producer of burlesque shows on Broadway. He formally teamed up with Costello in 1935. They would eventually create what would become a legendary routine, “Who’s on First?”. Abbott and Costello made 36 films together and were among the world’s most popular entertainers during World War II. They launched a radio show in 1942 followed by a live television series. The pair split up after their contract was terminated in 1955 and Costello passed away in 1959. Abbott attempted to find new partners but did not have as much luck. He was declared the best straight man in the comedy business by Groucho Marx. Abbott received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Motion Picture, Television, and Radio. Bud Abbott passed away on April 2, 1974 at 76 years old. Earnings: Between 1940 and 1956 the duo made 36 movies together. For much of that period their films were box office gold earning more than $120 million at the box office. That’s the same as around $1.8 billion in today’s dollars. In the early part of their career, they split earnings 60-40 in favor of Abbott. They dabbled with a 50-50 split but ended up with a 60-40 split in favor of Costello for much of their time in Hollywood. From their films alone, the duo reportedly earned around $25 million. That’s $360 million in today’s dollars, $180 million a piece. Finances: Unfortunately, as their careers waned in the 1950s, the IRS came calling. The IRS reversed $500,000 in tax exemptions that had been credited to Abbott, forcing him to sell his house and end an early retirement. A similar situation befell Costello, though not quite to the same degree. They both found themselves being forced to sell their mansions and the rights to many of their most popular films to cover their respective debts. In his later years Abbott announced he was broke and even asked his former fans to make donations.
