Dan Whitney has an estimated net worth of $50 million. Whitney became a star after showing on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour as his stereotypical "redneck" persona Larry The Cable Guy. This persona, at the side of his catch phrase "Git 'er done," is his claim to status, and helped him land movie roles like Tow Mater in Pixar's Cars. Movies, his personal TV display on The History Channel, DVD gross sales and stand-up performances helped him earn $20 million between May 2010 and May 2011.
Arguably among the most popular stand-up comedians into the new millennium, Larry the Cable Guy was the freewheeling introduction/adjust ego of Daniel Lawrence Whitney, who created the crude, opinionated and proudly rural Southern persona in the early 1990s. Since then, Daniel/Larry has scaled the heights of the comedy box through the well-liked Blue Collar Comedy Tour and next WB TV series, in addition to a string of chart-topping comedy albums.
Whitney was born in Pawnee City, NE on Feb. 17, 1963 and raised in West Palm Beach, FL. While in his early twenties, he started experimenting with stand-up comedy at clubs in West Palm Beach, enjoying sufficient luck to transport into guest shots on radio systems throughout Florida, and later, in more than a few major markets during the Southeastern states.
