Henry Short is a Canadian-American former director and cinematographer who has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry and so much so in other areas of his life, which earned a vast net worth.
As Martin Short’s son, one would think he’ll want to follow the family business and be a movie star, but Henry has other plans for his life.
Read on here to discover more about his net worth, age, height, bio, and career.
Henry Short Was Adopted by His Parents
Henry Hayter Short was born on August 4, 1989, in the United States. He is the son of the famous Canadian-American actor, comedian, and writer Martin Short (Father) and beautiful and famous Canadian actress Nancy Dolman (Mother).
Henry has two older siblings named Katherine Elizabeth Short and Oliver Patrick Short, and he comes from a talented and well-accomplished family. Sadly, his mother, Nancy, passed away in 2010 after 3 years of battling ovarian cancer.
Henry attended Loyola High School as a teen. He graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2012, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Finance. Henry’s older brother, Oliver Patrick Short, also attended the University of Notre Dame, where he got a bachelor’s degree in Film and Television Production.
Henry also participated in various extracurricular activities as well. He was the Captain of the Snowboard team and also a member of the Men’s Water Polo club and Fishing Club.
He started his professional journey when he embarked on a career in wealth management and worked as a Managed Solutions Group Consultant for the Royal Bank of Canada.
Henry’s Father’s Fame
Being born into a celebrity family and under public and media attention constantly go side by side. The fancy life of a celeb may look glamorous and thrilling, but their every activity is being scrutinized.
It might be relatable to Henry’s father as well. His father, Martin Short, is a well-known personality in Hollywood. The American-Canadian actor and comedian has received multiple awards and accolades for his works on Television, Films, and on Stage.
So, how has Martin’s fame affected Henry’s upbringing? While most celebrity children live constantly under the media eye, Martin Short has ensured his kids stay away from the limelight.
However, Henry and his sibling have joined their father at a few events, such as the film Inherit Vice premiere in 2014.
Henry Short Net Worth
The entertainment industry has carved successful careers for many stars over the years. And this also plays a major role in celebrity kids as well. Several celebrity kids benefit massively from their parents’ connections, and they also receive special treatment.
However, Henry has pursued a different career than his father. With a degree in finance, Henry began his career in wealth management as a Managed Solutions Group Consultant for the Royal Bank of Canada.
In July 2013, he was promoted to Analyst, Advisor Support, and Training. The financial services company, Managed Solutions Group Consultant, was based in Toronto, Ontario, where Henry worked for over six years.
An RBC employee’s average annual salary is $49,155.20 (64K CAD). So, Henry must have accumulated a lot of money working in RBC.
However, Henry went from being a wealth manager to a veterinary assistant at Malibu Coast Animal Hospital. Although he hasn’t shared his views on why he switched careers, fans will have to wait until he shares his thoughts on the topic. Meanwhile, the average salary of a veterinary assistant is $35,539 in Malibu, California.
So, he has accumulated a net worth of approximately $500,000, which is due to his financial success.
His Musical Passion
Henry’s dedication to his craft and love for singing are evident in every note he hits. He even said, ‘Music has the ability to travel through language barriers and touch the hearts and souls of people around the world.’
His captivating performances have won many people over the years, and this propels his music passion, making his sound resonate with his growing fan base. He stays true to his craft and intends to share his talent with the world for years.
