How much is the net worth of Gary Owens? It has been calculated that the overall size of his wealth was as much as $1 million, converted to the present day. Voicing and working in various radio programs were the main sources of Owens net worth.

To begin with, Gary was raised in Mitchell by his parents, who were a country sheriff and treasurer Bernard Joseph Altman, and a county auditor and educator Venetta Clark.

Concerning his professional career, he began working on radio station KORN based in his hometown in 1952. Then he moved to California, where Owens worked on DJ KEWB radio station until 1959, when he was transferred to work in the sister channel KFWB based in Los Angeles. A year later, he moved to work at station KMPC, on which he became famous not only as the announcer but also as a DJ. Owens also worked on television as an announcer. His net worth was well established.
