Don Frye Net Worth $2 million

Apart from American, Don is also of Pennsylvania Dutch as well as Scottish and Irish ancestry. He attended Buena High School in his home town, where he discovered wrestling. In 1984 Don enrolled at Arizona State University where he began training for boxing as well, then in 1988 he attended Oklahoma State University – Stillwater. In August 1989, Frye debuted as a professional boxer, winning his first and apparently only bout, after which he landed a job as a firefighter; he later served as an emergency medical technician also. All these involvements provided the basis for Dan Frye’s net worth.

In 1995 Frye dived into the world of mixed martial arts, and in February 1996 he debuted at the UFC 8 scoring seven consecutive wins and becoming the tournament winner. Later that year Don became the UFC Ultimate 1996 Tournament Winner before retiring from MMA. In 1997, he joined New Japan Pro Wrestling where he competed ’til 2002, although in 2001 he returned to MMA, fighting in Pride Fighting Championships ’til 2003. Between 2004 and 2006, Frye fought in K-1 and its Hero franchise, since when he has made several sporadic comebacks to his fighting career, rounding his score to a total of 31 MMA fights of which he won 20. It is certain that all these achievements helped Don Frye to significantly boost his net worth.

Don Frye debuted as an actor in 2004, when he was cast for the role of Douglas Gordon in the Japanese sci-fi movie adventure “Godzilla: Final Wars”. In 2006, he starred in the crime thriller movie “Miami Vice”, opposite Colin Farrell, Lo Gong and Jamie Foxx in the leading roles, and also voice-acted in the children’s animated movie “The Ant Bully”. The breakthrough in Don’s acting career occurred in 2009, when he appeared alongside Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Michael Mann’s blockbuster, biographical crime drama about John Dillinger – “Public Enemies”. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments made a significant impact on the total size of Don Frye’s wealth.

Don has since added several more roles to his portfolio, including the leading role in “Badass Brock” (2012) as well as supporting roles in “13” (2010), “Hot Bath an’ a Stiff Drink” (2014) and more recently “Street Level” (2015) and “Enter the Fist and the Golden Fleece” (2016). All these on-camera appearances have helped Don Frye to boost his net worth.

When it comes to his personal life, Frye was married to Mollie Frye with whom he welcomed two children, both daughters. After suffering a tough divorce, Don spent over two months in a coma due to a severe back injury, and currently is, allegedly, homeless.

Afrika Bambaataa’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Afrika Bambaataa Net Worth: Afrika Bambaataa is an American DJ who has a net worth of $5 million. Afrika Bambaataa accumulated his net worth through his talent as a hip hop DJ. Born on April 19, 1957, in The Bronx, New York, US, he was instrumental in the early development of hip hop throughout the 1980’s. Bambaataa, who took his stage name from the feature film Zulu warriors, first started DJing in 1970. A few years later he launched the music-oriented organization, Zulu Nation. Among the members of this rap-spreading organization who became minor rap luminaries were DJs Red Alert, Jazzy Jay, and Whiz Kid, as well as Afrika Islam. His interests were much diversified ranging from R&B to African sounds, to Latin, Calypso and classical. As for his knowledge in records, it was so profound that earned him the nickname Master of Records. As his DJ-ing career progressed, Afrika Bambaataa has become one of the first to perform break-beat deejaying, and respectfully come to be known as the “Godfather” and the Amen Ra of hip hop culture as well as the father of electro funk. In September 2007, he got nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in August 2012, he was appointed as a visiting scholar at Cornell University for three years. All in all, his contributions to the musical genres hip-hop electronic, disco, house are endless, just as the accolades he has received.
