To begin with, Jeff was raised in Belleville by his parents JoAnn and Bob Tweedy, the fourth child in the family. He started playing guitar being six years old. The boy was educated at Belleville Township High School West, and later Jeff studied at Belleville Area College and Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville.
After the graduation, Tweedy began his musical career by joining the group named The Plebes in the early 1980s. He joined it with his friend Jay Farrar. The Plebes changed their name to The Primitives in 1984, then they became Uncle Tupelo and gained sufficient recognition which was followed by getting the chance to make a record and playing on tour nationally. The band released four albums “No Depression” (1990), “Still Feel Gone” (1991), “March 16-20, 1992” (1992) and “Anodyne” (1993), but in 1994 the group disbanded because of disagreements regarding the band’s direction. Regardless, this had been a steady start to Jeff’s net worth.
In 1994, Tweedy formed the band Wilco alongside other members John Stirratt , Max Johnston and Ken Coomer. The band recorded seven albums and achieved commercial success with the albums “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot” (2002), “A Ghost Is Born” (2004) and “Sky Blue Sky” (2007). The group also collaborated with Billy Bragg and with The Minus. The Wilco won two Grammy Awards in 2005 including one for the Best Alternative Album “A Ghost Is Born” (2004). In 2009, they released the studio album “Wilco” which was nominated for the Grammy Award as the Best Americana Album. In 2011, the band released the album “The Whole Love” which was also nominated for Grammy as the Best Rock Album. Recently, the band has released the ninth studio album “Star Wars” (2015) which entered top ten on the Billboard Independent Albums as well as the Billboard Top Alternative Albums. The album has also entered the list of The 15 Best Albums of 2015 made by The A.V. Club magazine. Overall, the above mentioned albums have significantly increased the total size of Jeff Tweedy net worth.
Furthermore, Tweedy has participated in several musical projects aside from the band, including with Golden Smog and Loose Fur. He also wrote “Adult Head: Poems”, a book of poems which was released in 2004. Moreover, he was released a DVD of his solo performances. His music was originally influenced by country, and then punk, although Jeff has more recently introduced some different experimental themes into his music.
Finally, in the personal life of the singer, he has been married to talent agent Sue Miller since 1995, and they have two children. In 2014, Sue was diagnosed with cancer, but is now in remission. Jeff himself suffered chronic migraines as a teenager, and became addicted to painkillers, for which he went through rehab successfully in the early 2000s.

Actors
Tony Dow Net Worth
Tony Lee Dow was born on 13 April 1945 in Hollywood, California USA. He is a well-known person in the Hollywood movie industry because of his long-lasting involvement as a film producer, director and an actor.
So how rich is Tony Dow? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $4 million. Most of it he has accumulated by working as a professional Hollywood actor for more than 50 years.
Tony Dow Net Worth $4 Million
Tony Dow’s interest in the film industry might have been related to the fact that his mother, Muriel Virginia Dow, was a stunt woman and a film double at the time Tony was a child and teenager. However, Tony undoubtedly had some acting talent which was proven when he managed to win the audition for a role in the sitcom “Leave It to Beaver” in 1957, despite having no experience in acting at that time. This was the role that had perhaps the most influence in building a solid foundation to Tony Dow’s acting career, even though he received only one award – Young Artist Award in nomination of “Former Child Star Lifetime Achievement Award” in 1988, after working in the show for six years. It was also a solid start to his net worth.
In the next few years after “Leave It to Beaver”, Tony appeared in several episodes of other TV shows, such as the sitcom “My Three Sons” (in 1964), drama series “Mr. Novak” (between 1963 and 1965) and teen soap opera “Never Too Young” (in 1965). Tony continued working in television up until the late 90s and his net worth continued to grow, for example in 1975 he starred in the popular medical TV drama “General Hospital”.
While Tony Dow is mostly known as a television actor, he has appeared in a few films during his career, including the television horror film “Death Scream” in 1975, comedy film “The Kentucky Fried Movie” in 1977, television comedy film “High School USA” in 1983, comedy “Back to the Beach” and comedy film “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star” in 2003.
Acting aside, Tony Dow is also known as a producer, director and visual effects specialist, especially in the science fiction genre, and these involvements have undoubtedly contributed to building up his net worth. Tony contributed to the visual effects of the 1996 season of the phenomenal British science fiction TV series “Doctor Who”, and a few episodes of the space opera TV series “Babylon 5”. He also directed an episode of the American science fiction TV series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” in 1998.
Interestingly though, some people might also recognize Tony Dow as a sculptor who is well known for his brilliant abstract pieces depicting surreal figures.
In his personal life, Tony Dow has never been married and has no children. He is known to have suffered from depression during some periods of his life, which on a positive note has encouraged him to participate in self-help videos, including the production “Beating the Blues” (1998). However, the negative effect is that Tony hasn’t participated as an actor in any film since 2003.
