Tom Six Net Worth $2 Million
Tom Six’s love for the cinema began developing at an early age when he played around with his grandfather’s camera, recording the environment. Films that influenced his affection towards horror movies were “Salò, or “120 Days of Sodom” (1975) and “The Brood” (1979). Later in his life, Tom and his sister founded a production company, so he directed and wrote his debut called “Gay in Amsterdam” in 2004. Three years later, Tom made “Honeyz”, while in 2008, he filmed “I Love Dries”, forming the basis of his net worth.
Six gained worldwide attention with the release of the body horror film “The Human Centipede (First Sequence)” in 2009, starring Dieter Laser, Ashley C. Williams, and Ashlynn Yennie. Although the movie was criticized in numerous reviews and many negative reactions were addressed to it, it gave Tom such popularity that he could make the sequel after the opening stanza obviously attracted audiences. In 2011, he directed “The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence)” with Ashlynn Yennie, Maddi Black, and Laurence R. Harvey, which was even more disturbing than its predecessor and some countries even refused to issue an 18 certificate. The United Kingdom’s BBFC stated that they were disgusted with the antagonist’s “total degradation, humiliation, mutilation, torture, and murder of his naked victims”. Regardless, his net worth was rising steadily.
Six always wanted to make a trilogy, and he did so in 2015, when he made “The Human Centipede III (Final Sequence)” starring Dieter Laser, Laurence R. Harvey, and Eric Roberts, adding further to his net worth, while at the moment, he is the filming psychological thriller called “The Onania Club”, which will be released late in 2017.

I don't like happy endings in films, only at massage parlors.

I'm totally against cutting films. Film is an art form and The Human Centipede 2 is made for a horror audience. It's like I made a comedy and they take out all the good jokes.
4
I get a rash from too much political correctness. I love it when films dare to have political incorrect ideas.
5
I try to create original films, why write stories that are done a hundred thousand times? Create something new, push boundaries, why else bother?
