Nick Vujicic Net Worth: Nick Vujicic is an Australian motivational speaker and Australian Christian evangelist who has a net worth of $500 thousand. Nick Vujicic was born December 4, 1982 in Melbourne, Australia. Although he was born an otherwise healthy baby, Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs; he had no legs, but two small feet, one of which had only two toes. He was initially prevented by Victoria state law from attending a public school due to his physical disabilities, though Vujicic was not mentally impaired. Vujicic did go on to become one of the first physically disabled students integrated into a mainstream school once those laws were changed. His lack of limbs, unfortunately, made him a target for school bullies and Vujicic fell into a severe depression. At age eight, he contemplated suicide and even tried to drown himself in his own bathtub at age ten; his love for his parents prevented him from following through. Vujicic stated in his music video “Something More” that God had a plan for his life and he could not bring himself to drown because of this. He eventually came to the realization that his accomplishments could inspire others and he became grateful for his life. He gradually figured out how to live a full life without limbs, adapting many of the daily skills limbed people accomplish without thinking. Nick writes using the two toes on his left foot and a special grip that slides onto his big toe. He can use a computer and can even type up to 45 words per minute using the “heel and toe” method. He has also learned to throw tennis balls, play drum pedals, get a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone and shave. Vujicic participates in golf, swimming and even sky-diving. When Nick Vujicic was seventeen, he began speaking at his prayer group, and went on to found his own non-profit organization, Life Without Limbs.
