He started to accumulate his net worth in 1999, when he was appointed as the executive producer of “Family Guy” animation series. The project turned to be one of the most successful and long-lasting on American TV. The story about a “typical” American family and their talking dog with a dry martini in a hand (or it is better to say “in a paw”) impressed viewers all over the world and developed a large fan base.
