Chevy Chase | Son of Cathalene Parker Vanderbilt

At present, actor Chevy Chase’s net worth amounts to over $50 million, which he amassed through the illustrious career he has had over the years. Before he achieved this degree of fame, Chase actually worked a number of odd jobs. This includes working as a truck driver, a waiter, a construction worker, a wine salesman, a cab driver, an audio engineer, a theater usher, and a fruit picker. Without a doubt, the actor must have developed his great work ethic through the experiences he has had in varying fields.

The funny thing, however, is that he is actually heir to quite a significant fortune. His mother is Cathalene Parker, a librettist and concert pianist who is also part of the Vanderbilt clan. As a fourteenth-generation New Yorker who comes from one of the city’s prominent families, it certainly impresses us to know that the actor built what he has now from the ground up.
