Shaun T Net Worth $10 Million
From an early age, Shaun showcased his athleticism playing football, baseball and running track. After high school, Shaun enrolled at Rowan University, from which he obtained a bachelor’s degree in Sports Science, while also finishing with a minor in Theater/Dance. During his college years, Shaun gained weight, and concurrently trained to become a fitness instructor. Also, he started taking dance lessons, and so pursued a career as a choreographer as well.
After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles where he unified all his talents, and started working for several fitness companies, including Wyeth and Equinox Fitness. Also, he found engagement as a dancer, following Mariah Carey on her tours. All this increased Shaun’s net worth to a large degree.
While working for Equinox Fitness, he was approached by people from the Beachbody fitness company, and soon accepted their interesting offer. He was needed to develop fitness programs for the aforementioned company, and put the workout on DVDs which would later be sold across the world. He firstly created Hip-Hop Abs, which soon became the top selling workout video in the United States.
Thanks to this, Shaun continued to work for Beachbody and created Insanity, regarded as the hardest workout produced and widely distributed at that time. The program not only helped the sales of the workout, but boosted Shaun’s net worth, and as a result, Shaun became a famous television personality as he appeared in several talk shows, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show, “The Tyra Banks Show”, “Dr. Oz Show”, and “Doctors”, all of which increased his wealth too.
Regarding his personal life, Shaun is gay, and has been married to Scott Blokker since 2012.
