A Peek into the Past
Damian Hurley’s past
Damian partly grew up in Gloucester, England, and Australia, with his mother. His godfathers include Denis Leary, David Beckham, Hugh Grant, and Elton John.
In 2016, he was cast in The Royal as the Prince Hansel von Liechtenstein that also starred Elizabeth as the Queen of England. The junior Hurley is now actively pursuing a modeling career.
Steve was a multi-millionaire with a colossal net worth. Besides, he inherited $600 million from his grandfather, Leo S. Bing, a wealthy real estate developer in the 1920s.
He started studying at Stanford University but left to pursue a career in Hollywood, and subsequently, his production of The Polar Express earned him $205 million in profits alone.
In 2012, he pledged the majority of his wealth to charity and joined The Giving Pledge, along with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet.
We hope that the Hurleys and Bonders manage to pull through these tragic times.
