Jason Mewes Bio and Career
Have you already earned $1 million? If not, what excuse do you have for it? Many people are sure, that it is impossible to earn a solid net worth, if you are not the member of a rich family. But the famous actor and owner of multi million fortune Jason Mewes was born in poverty and seemed to have no chance to become wealthy.
Jason Mewes has never heard about his father. He was brought up by a single drug-addicted mother, who had no idea, why she needed that child. She started her day from drugs and finished it in that very manner. She was even jailed for a while. So, Mewes’s childhood can’t be called classically happy.
When Jason turned 13, fate gave him the first smile. He met Kevin Smith. At first Kevin thought, that Mewes was “a dude” (according to filmmaker’s interview), but later he found the tall skinny teen funny. Jason earned his first salary, selling comic books in Smith’s family shop.
Several years later Kevin Smith was inspired to make his own movie. He decided “to take Jason’s inner dude to the screen” to see, if other people could find him funny too.
Thus Jason Mewes started his way to a big wealth and fame. He could save even more, but in late 90s-early 2000s the actor got used to drugs. He spent the part of his net worth for that forbidden hobby.
