Houston Tumlin, the actor who played Will Ferrell’s son in the film Talladega Nights has sadly passed away this week. What is his net worth?
Tributes are flooding social media for Houston Tomlin who is known for appearing in the 2006 comedy film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby when he was just 13-years-old.
What is Houston Tumlin’s net worth? Let’s explore his career.
Who was Houston Tumlin?
Houston Tumlin was best known for playing the son of Ricky Bobby, who was played by Will Ferrell in the 2006 film Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Born in 1992 in Alabama, Houston was only 13 at the time and that was his only professional film credit.
After that, he didn’t continue his acting career. In 2015, he was reportedly serving in the Army’s 101st Airborne Division on the Kentucky-Tennessee border.
What is Houston Tumlin’s net worth?
Houston Tumlin’s exact net worth is unknown, but it’s expected to be fairly low as his acting career was incredibly short-lived, with Talladega Nights being his only acting credit.
However, the film was one of the highest earning comedies of the 2000s. Starring Will Ferrell, John C Reily, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Adams and Jane Lynch, it accumulated almost $163 million at the box office.
So, it’s likely that Houston earned a large sum for appearing in the film and has continued to profit from it throughout his life.
