Abe Vigoda net worth
Abe Vigoda Net Worth: Abe Vigoda is an American actor who has a net worth of $10 million. Born in New York in 1921, Abe Vigoda began performing on stage as a teenager before rising to fame in several Broadway shows in the ’60s. Vigoda is best known for playing gangster Salvatore Tessio in the 1972 film The Godfather, and made a brief appearance in The Godfather II.
He went on to play Detective Sheriff Phil Fish in “Barney Miller” and “The Fish.” Other TV and film credits include “Having a Baby,” “Cheap Detective,” “Jury Duty,” “As the World Turns,” and “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” Vigoda has become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon after People magazine unexpectedly reported his death in 1982. Vigoda responded by taking a photo of himself sitting in a coffin with the wrong questions. Five years later, a New Jersey news station also erroneously mentioned his death. Since then, Vigorda has been the subject of a website that only reports whether he is alive or dead, and has been featured frequently in “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” The handball enthusiast was married to his wife Beatrice Schy for 24 years until her death in 1992. They have one child together, Carol. Incredibly, Abe Vigoda lived to be 94 years old. He died in his sleep on January 26, 2016.
