Donald McKinley Glover Wiki Biography

Born Donald McKinley Glover on the 25th September on Edwards Air Force Base, California USA, he is a rapper, actor, comedian and producer, who goes under the name Childish Gambino. He is one of nine rappers who has won the Golden Globe award for their work in motion pictures. He first came to prominence as a writer for the sitcom “30 Rock”, and since then cemented his place in the world of entertainment by showcasing his numerous talents.

Have you ever wondered how rich Childish Gambino is, as of late 2017? According to authoritative sources, it has been estimated that Gambino’s wealth is as high as $4.5 million, an amount earned through his successful career, active since 2006.

Before becoming Childish Gambino, Dover spent his childhood in Stone Mountain, Georgia with his brother and a bunch of other children, since his parents, Beverly and Donald Sr. were foster parents. Growing up, Glover was taught about Jehovah’s Witnesses, and along the way became one. He went to DeKalb School of the Arts, and once a school yearbook came out in his senior year, under Gambino’s picture wrote “Most Likely to Write for The Simpsons”, which eventually proved not too far away from the truth, as he later wrote a spec script for the particular animated series.

After matriculation, he enrolled at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, from which he obtained a degree in dramatic writing in 2006.

During his study years he started building a name for himself, firstly joining the sketch comedy group, Derrick Comedy, comprised of Dominic Dierkes, DC Pierson, Meggie McFadden, and Dan Eckman, which in the beginning filmed comedy videos for YouTube, but after becoming successful, they wrote, produced and directed the feature “Mystery Team”, in which Gambino starred; the film came out in 2009, which marked the start of his professional acting career. Before that, he contacted David Miner to whom he sent his spec script for “The Simpsons”, and in short period he received an invitation from Miner and Tina Frey to come to work on the sitcom “30 Rock”. From 2006 until 2009, Gambino worked as a writer for the show, for which he took home three Writer Guild Awards. His career as a writer and actor steadily developed, and he was chosen for the role of Troy Barnes, one of the lead characters in the TV series “Community” (2009-2014), which increased his net worth to a large degree. In recent years, he has appeared in the sci-fi horror “The Lazarus Effect” (2015), then the comedy film “Magic Mike XXL” also in 2015, while in 2017 he portrayed Aaron Davis in the sci-fi action adventure “Spider-Man: Homecoming”, starring Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, and Robert Downey Jr.

When it comes to his music career, his stage name, Childish Gambino was acquired through the Wu-Tang Clan name generator; his music debut happened in 2008, when he released the independent album entitled “Sick Boi”, while the following year he released another independent album – “Poindexter”.

This brought fame to Gambino as he reached a wider public, and was able to consolidate his career as a musician. In 2010, he released two mixtapes “I Am Just a Rapper”, and “I Am Just A Rapper 2”. In 2011 he signed a contract with Glassnote Records, and he started working on his debut major label release. With the help of Ludwig Ludwig Göransson, Gambino recorded the album “Camp”, which came out in November 2011 and reached No. 11 on the US Billboard 200 chart, while it peaked at No. 2 on both US Top Rap Albums and US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. His next full-length album “Because the Internet” was released through Island, and Universal Records, in addition to Glassnote, and eventually achieved gold status in the USA, which added substantially to his net worth. Also, the album topped the US Rap chart, and reached seventh on the Billboard 200. His third album came out in 2016, “Awaken, My Love!”, and meantime he worked on a mixtape and an EP, respectively “STN MTN” and “Kauai”, the sales of which also contributed to his net worth.

Regarding his personal life, Childish Gambino is the father of a son, born in 2016, and is expecting his second child. Unfortunately, no information about his girlfriend or wife is available online.
