The great American singer, comedian, ventriloquist and impressionist Terry Wayne Fator is himself a “Brand”. He has a net worth of $140 million.
Terry Fator has gained such a huge wealth by signing a five year agreement with The Mirage in Las Vegas as a headliner. Fator got his career started by touring as the front singer of a band called "Freedom Jam" in the year of 1987-88. It was produced by Young American Showcase. The group performed at more than 200 high schools and middle schools throughout the United States and Canada. They performed three performances in each school a day on an average.
The initiation of Fator's ventriloquism career dates back to when he was in the fifth standard. In the process of conducting a search of a book for a Valentine’s Day assignment, he came across a book on the subject of ventriloquism which was titled, “Ventriloquism for Fun and Profit” written by Paul Winchell. Fator started studying the art of ventriloquism in Mesquite, Texas. Nearly giving up his dream of glory, Fator came into sight on “America's Got Talent” and won the show, turning his career dreams a reality.
Terry Fator was born to parents Jephtha Wesley and Edith Marie (Clifton) Fator on 10th of June, 1965 in Dallas, Texas. He has two siblings. His older brother is Jephtha Jr. and younger sister is Deborah. Chris Sligh, who was a finalist of American Idol season 6, is his second cousin. Fator acquired his college degree at the Liberty University in Lynchburg that is situated in Virginia.
