Verne Troyer Wiki Biography

Verne Troyer was born on 1 January 1969, in Sturgis, Michigan, USA, and is well known as an actor and a stunt performer. Verne has achieved high recognition partly because of being only two feet eight inches – 81cm – tall, the result of a cartilage-hair hypoplasia dwarfism condition that made Troyer one of the shortest men in the world.

So just how rich is Verne Troyer? Sources estimate that Verne’s net worth has reached the sum of $10 million as of 2015, the vast majority of his wealth having been earned through his career as an actor spanning over 20 years.

Verne Troyer has a sister and a brother, and states that his parents nurtdure all their children equally, no matter that Verne was far  smaller than other siblings; he had to do the same household chores on the farm as the other two. Maybe this upbringing encouraged him to look for his own way to express personality. Verne Troyer started his career as a stuntman in ‘Baby’s Day Out’, directed by Partrick Read Johnson, in 1994, the same roles he undertook in the films ‘Duston Checks In’, ‘Jingle All the Way’, and ‘Pinocchio’s Revenge’. In 1997 he was cast in his first role of Alien Son, in ‘Men in Black’, directed by Barry Sonnenfeld,  with outstanding actors as Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Fiorentino and Will Smith. Verne Troyer net worth was increasing quickly as the producers of the film ‘Men in Black’ announced box office takings which exceeded $589 million. After this successful role, in the next two years Troyer played parts in films like ‘Wishmaster’, ‘My Giant’, ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, ‘The Wacky Adventures of Ronald McDonald: Scared Silly’, ‘Mighty Joe Young’, ‘Here Lies Lonely’ and ‘Instinct’, all of which contrbuted consistently to his growing net worth.

In 1999 Troyer took a hugely successful step to gaining considerable net worth, when he appeared in the action comedy film ‘Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me’ which was directed by Jay Roach with Verne playing his prominent role of Mini Me. In 2000, ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ directed by Ron Howard was released which also made an impact on Verne’s net worth because the film collected three Academy Award Nominations. In 2001 Troyer created the character of Griphook the Goblin in the well-known fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus, ‘Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone’. This has also greatly increased Verne Troyer’s net worth. In 2002 he had a chance to reprise his remarkable role of Mini Me, because New Line Cinema distributed the third part of the Austin Powers film series, ‘Austin Powers in Goldmember’.

As Verne Troyer became a famous celebrity, he even got to act himself in several films, including ‘Pauly Shore is Dead’ directed by Pauly Shore, ‘Postal’ directed by Uwe Boll and ‘College’ by Deb Hagan. Troyer played himself not only in films but also in the TV series ‘The Girls Next Door’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother 6’, and appeared in chat shows ‘Friday Night with Jonathan Ross’, ‘The Paul O’Grady Show’ and others.

Troyer’s net worth was rather high all these years that he has been seen on the screen, but despite, or perhaps because of, the fame he has struggled with an addiction to alcohol and cocaine. Interestingly, Verne apparently married and then divorced model Genevieve Gallen in the space of two days.
