Trey Parker’s mother Sharon was an insurance agent, and his father Randy a geologist, however, even while studying at Evergreen High School, Parker had been largely interested in becoming an actor. He was  actually  fascinated by the British group Monty Python, and as a result of which he enrolled into the Berklee College of Music, and then the University of Colorado, where he took film classes and soon made his first movie called “Giant Beavers of Southern Sri Lanka”. It was in the university where he met his future friend and  colleague Matt Stone, with whom he then worked on various film projects. One of his early films called “American History” even won him a Student Academy Award, which  motivated Parker to pursue his dream.

Parker began his career with the “Avenging Conscience” production company, which he co-founded with Stone, and Ian Hardin. Prior to his immense success with “South Park”, Trey Parker directed such films as “Cannibal! The Musical”, “Orgazmo”, and made an appearance in the popular sports comedy film directed by David Zucker called “BASEketball” with Parker, Stone, Dian Bachar and Yasmine Bleeth in the main roles.

However, co-created by Parker and Matt Stone in 1997, “South Park” has become one of the most watched animated sitcoms, notable for its dark and blunt humor, as well as vulgar language. Aside from Stone and Parker, Mona Marshall and April Stewart have also provided the voices of the majority of characters on the show. Even though “South Park” has met with a lot criticism and controversy due to the depiction of sensitive subjects and sometimes negative portrayal of liberal values, it managed to maintain high enough ratings to remain on air for 18 seasons, and a total of 255 episodes, contributing significantly to Trey’s net worth.

“South Park” inspired the release of a full-length movie called “South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut” directed by Parker, a compilation album entitled “Chef Aid: The South Park Album”, as well as numerous video games released for “PlayStation”, “PC”, “Nintendo 64” and other platforms. Considered to be among the Greatest TV Cartoons of All Time, “South Park” has been rewarded with various Peabody Awards, as well as Primetime Emmy Awards.

Between 2002 and 2004 Parker and Stone with extensive assistance worked on “Team America: World Police”, described as “…a satire of big-budget action films and their associated clichés and stereotypes, with particular humorous emphasis on the global implications of the politics of the United States”. The animation took considerable effort, but the result was both a critical and commercial success, adding significantly to Trey’s net worth.

Parker’s further film ventures include the 2005 documentary film entitled “The Aristocrats”, which featured appearances from such famous people as Drew Carey, Robin Williams, Pat Cooper, Lewis Black and Rip Taylor to name a few. In 2103, Parker came out with a Broadway performance called “The Book of Mormon”, which received a lot of positive critical reviews, and added further to his net worth. The funds earned from these productions enabled Parker and Stone to set-up their own Important Studios, however,  Parker then voiced Balthazar Bratt, the villain in the Universal Pictures 2017 film “Despicable Me 3”,  the first time Parker  took a role not scripted by either himself or Matt Stone.

Among various other awards, Trey received  a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2013.
