Howie Long Net Worth $14 Million
So how rich is Howie Long? It is reliably estimated that Howie’s net worth is $14 million. The main source of this sum of money was Howie’s career as a football player. In addition to this, Long’s appearances in movies and shows also had a huge impact on his net worth and popularity.
Howie attended the Milford High School, where he played different sports: football, track and basketball. Later Long continued his studies at the Villanova University, where he graduated with a degree in communications. While still studying at the university, Howie was able to play in the “Blue-Gray Football Classic”. In addition to playing football, Howie also boxed and even won the Northern Collegiate Heavyweight Boxing Championship. In 1981 Howie became a part of the team, called “Oakland Raiders”. He played in this team during all his career as a football player, and added a lot to the wins of the team, including winning the Super Bowl in 1983, and being selected eight times for the Pro Bowl. It is clear that being a part of this team was one of the main sources of Howie Long’s net worth. During his caree,r Long won such awards as NFL Defensive Player of the Year, NFL Alumni Defensive Lineman of the Year, and others. In 2000 Howie was inducted into the “Pro-Football Hall of Fame”.
In 1993 Howie Long decided to finish his career as a football player and started his acting career. That is why he is still famous and has a lot of fans. Howie has appeared in such movies as “Firestorm”, “Broken Arrow”, “That Thing You Do!”, “3000 Miles to Graceland” and others. While filming in these movies Howie had an opportunity to work with John Travolta, Samantha Mathis, Scott Glenn, Suzy Amis, Kurt Russell, Kevin Costner and others.
What is more, Howie has published a book called “Football for Dummies”. The popularity of this book also contributed to Howie’s net worth. Talking about Howie Long’s personal life, it can be said that he married Diane Addonizio in 1982, and the couple has three children.
All in all, it can be said that Howie is a very successful former American football player and quite a talented actor. Now, after his career as a football player has ended, he can focus more on his acting and maybe he will become more famous in future.. Let’s hope that soon we will hear about new projects, in which Howie will participate and that his net worth will grow. Howie is 55 years old, so he can still do a lot in the future and there is a high chance that his fans will be able to see him in other projects. There is also a possibility that Howie Long’s net worth will become higher.
