Brent Ferrigno’s father, Lou Ferrigno
Lou Ferrigno is an American actor, fitness trainer, and retired professional bodybuilder. He is one of the richest celebrities in America. He has a net worth of $12 million. Lou Ferrigno accumulated his net worth through his years as Mr. Universe, as a personal fitness trainer and consultant, his role in television as the Hulk, and in comedy sitcoms, film roles, and real estate investments. Lou Ferrigno was born Louis Jude Ferrigno on November 9, 1951, in Brooklyn, New York. He is the son of Victoria and Matt Ferrigno. As a child, he lost 75-80% of his hearing from ear infections. His hearing loss caused Lou to be bullied by his peers throughout his childhood. At 13, he started weight training and looked up to superheroes in pop culture, such as Hercules, Spider-Man, and the Hulk. The family couldn’t afford to buy him a set of weights to train with, so Ferrigno made his own using a broomstick and pails that he filled with cement. Lou attended St. Athanasius Grammar School and Brooklyn Technical High School and graduated in 1969. Lou Ferrigno won his first major title right out of high school, IFBB Mr. America. He won the title IFBB Mr. Universe after four years. In 1974, Lou came in second at the Mr. Olympia competition. In 1997, Ferrigno’s attempt to beat Arnold Schwarzenegger at Mr. Olympia was the subject of a documentary titled Pumping Iron. This made him a famous face. Ferrigno then competed in the first annual World’s Strongest Man competition and finished fourth out of eight athletes. He made $10 an hour at a sheet metal factory in Brooklyn for three years, eventually leaving the dangerous job after a friend and coworker accidentally cut off his hand one day while on the clock. Ferrigno returned to bodybuilding in the early ’90s and competed in the 1992 and 1993 Mr. Olympia competitions, where he finished 12th and 10th, respectively. He then returned for the 1994 Masters Olympia, where his attempt to beat Robbie Robinson and Boyer Coe was the subject of Stand Tall, a 1996 documentary. Ferrigno subsequently retired from competitive bodybuilding. Ferrigno starred in the TV series The Incredible Hulk from 1977 to 1982. Lou appeared in the Battle of the Network Stars in 1978 and 1979.
