Jamie Hyneman Net Worth $12 Million

Jamie studied at Indiana University, from where he graduated with a degree in Russian linguistics, and later studied engineering at Villanova University. Before becoming entirely absorbed in special effects, Jamie worked in various positions: he had an opportunity to be a boat captain, machinist, chef and even had his own pet shop. It is slightly weird how one person can have experience in so many fields, but this is what makes Jamie different from others, which nevertheless were the basis to his net worth.

Jamie’s career as an expert in special effects began when he started working  with other special effects experts on the movie called “Top Gun” in the mid-’80s; his talent was noticed by others, so Jamie then received invitations to work on such movies as “Matrix”, “Flubber” and “Naked Lunch”. As Jamie became more successful, he decided to create his own special effects company, which is now known as “M5 Industries”. Undoubtedly, founding this company cost him a lot of energy and stress, but now he can be proud of it and the money that it helps him to gain.

In 2003 Jamie became a part of the popular TV series called “Myth Busters”, which is known all over the world and still continues airing episodes. During the long period of working on “MythBusters”, Jamie had an opportunity to meet Adam Savage, Kari Byron, Jessi Combs, Tory Belleci and other people, who have similar interests.  Other shows that Jamie has subsequently been involved in include “Unchained Reaction”, “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and others.

With Adam Savage, Jamie voiced characters in “The Daughter Also Rises”, a Simpsons episode which parodies themselves as the “Myth Crackers”, and they also voiced stormtrooper-like office workers in a “Phineas and Ferb Star Wars” special. With Savage and technology reviewer Norman Chan, Hyneman contributed to Tested.com as an editor until 2016, among other various activities.

If to talk about Jamie’s personal life, he married science teacher Eileen Walsh in 1984, having met her in the Virgin Islands while operating a boat-charter business. He has been awarded  honorary doctorates from the University of Twente (Enschede, Netherlands) and by Lappeenranta University of Technology, Finland for his role in popularizing science and technology.
