Mr. T’s nett worth is thought to be $1.5 million. He is most known for playing B.A. Baracus on The A-Team in the 1980s. The youngest of 12 children, Laurence Tero Tureaud was born in Chicago, Illinois. After a brief stint as a football player at Texas A&M Prairie View, he went back to Chicago and started working as a bouncer. He started wearing gold chains and had his now-iconic hairdo to reflect his image as one of the toughest Chicago security officers.
Mr. T developed high-profile connections, which led to the hiring of him as a bodyguard for a number of celebrities, including Sylvester Stallone. Mr. T was given the opportunity to play Rocky Balboa’s rival in Rocky III thanks to the chance encounter. After a brief period of fame and subsequent jobs, Mr. T created his own animated television series called “Mr. T’s Commandments” to inspire children to have fulfilling lives. He withdrew from the spotlight in 1995 due to his personal fight with T-cell lymphoma. On the reality television programme “I Pity the Fool,” which is based on his desire to assist and counsel people on how to make wise decisions, he continues to work as a motivational speaker.
