How Did Bill Nye make their money & wealth

Bill Nye, contrary to popular belief, was not born with his bow tie on. Instead, he was born to a World War 2 codebreaker (his mother) and an electrical specialist who spent time in a Japanese POW camp. After being raised in Washington D.C., he would attend Cornell University where he’d get a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering before working for the major airline producer Boeing, just outside of Seattle, Washington. Here he would invent multiple critical components to handle reverberation and turbulence which the aircraft he worked on was in flight, and he’d also start doing standup comedy in his spare time. This would get him recognized by a local news and CBS affiliate, KING-TV, which would then help him get into the entertainment business. After he was found to be great in educating kids using comedy and his science degree, he’d become an icon of public television with his Bill Nye the Science Guy series.

Bill Nye House – Bill Nye has a surprisingly modest house, though one feature he has not skimped out on is electric paneling; During discussions regarding his home (and even a tour), one thing he always points out is that his electrical meter runs backwards, so he never has to worry about paying for electricity. His home is located in Studio City, California.

Bill Nye Car – A huge proponent of electric cars (even to the point of suggesting NASCAR should run electric!) it should come as no surprise that Bill Nye owns an electric vehicle, namely a 2017 Chevy Bolt in electric blue. Seen as a direct challenge to the Tesla line, this car is capable of nearly 250 miles on a single charge (which is 14% more efficient than a Telsa vehicle), but with the performance similar to a Mazda 3 in terms of storage, acceleration, and nimbleness. For those worried about charge times in a crunch time, you can get 90 miles worth of charge in 30 minutes, with a full charge in about 2 hours. The Chevy Bolt was awarded the 2017 Motor Trend Car of the Year award.

Charity and donations and philanthropy- Bill Nye is currently a heavy supporter of the National Parks Foundation and the Planetary Society, and last year he also co-hosted the March for Science.
