A noted personality in Hollywood as well as in the game of tennis, one may wonder how rich is Vince at the present? As of early 2016, Vince counts his net worth at the amount of $2 million.

Also, recently being a commentator for the World Poker Tour has also been helping Vince to live life as a multi-millionaire.
Vince Van Patten Net Worth $2 Million
Raised in Bellerose and Los Angeles, Vince started his career as a child artist as his father’s agent grew interested in him. As a child actor, Vince appeared in several television commercials as well as television shows including “Medical Center”, “Adam-12”, “The Courtship Of Eddie’s Father”, “Wonder Woman” and “Three For The Road” among many others. Along with these, Vince has also been a part of movies and films such as “Yesterday”, “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School”, “The Dirty Dozen: The Deadly Mission” and several others. Obviously, all of these movies have been very significant in adding to Vince’s net worth over the years.
Along with acting, Vince has also been active in tennis – during his career as a professional tour tennis player, Vince won Rookie Of The Year Award by Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and played with several big names in the sport like John McEnroe and others. He played in US Open and Wimbledon in both singles and doubles. His career high as a tennis player was in 1982 when he was ranked at number 26 in singles and later in 1986 when he was ranked at World no. 24 in doubles. Obviously, his career in tennis has also contributed a lot to Vince’s net worth.
Vince is currently working as the commentator of the World Poker Tour which airs on Fox Sports Network. Vince grew interested in poker as a young boy of fourteen years as his father taught him to play. For his commentating skills in poker, he was also crowned as the king of the Hollywood home games. He has also co-written a novel about Vegas poker, along with Robert J. Randisi. For sure, his career as a commentator has also been earning him millions of dollars.
Talking about his personal life, Vince married his second wife, actress Eileen Davidson in 2003 – the couple has one child together. Previously, he was married to Betsy Russell(1989-2001) with whom he shares two children. For now, Vince is enjoying his career as one of the famous commentators and television personalities while his present net worth of $2 million caters to his daily life.
Was rumored in tabloids to be romantically linked to Farrah Fawcett in the late '70s. The rumor started because they spent a great deal of time together as they shared a love for playing tennis.
