Betty white parents

Betty White Father

Betty’s father, Horace White, worked for a lighting company; he also made radios on the side to make extra money for his family during the depression.

Nobody had any money to buy the radios, so he would trade them for dogs. He built kennels in the backyard, and he cared for the dogs.

Betty White Mother

Betty White’s mother, Tess Curtis White was a homemaker. As Betty was growing up, she was incredibly close to her mother, who taught her quite a few things. According to Betty, her mom instilled in her the power of positive thinking.

“I’ve always been a cockeyed optimist. I got it from my mom. I’m going to stick with it.” Betty told Fox News in a December 2021 statement.

Betty white education

She completed her early schooling at Beverly Hills Unified School District and Beverly Hills High School in Beverly Hills, Illinois, United States.

After that, she enrolled herself at Horace Mann School in New York City, New York, the United States from where she completed her graduation. Since childhood, she has had an interest in wildlife and acting, she has always had a desire of pursuing her career as an animal activist and actress in the entertainment industry.

Betty White’s Net Worth

Betty was worth $75 million when she passed. It goes without saying that Betty White enjoyed a long and prosperous life. She brought smiles to anyone she come in contact with, both on-screen and off. When the love of her life, Allen Ladd, passed away in 1981, White never remarried. Betty White herself never had any children, though she is the stepmother to Ladd’s three children.

When she passed, White owned two homes, one in Carmel, California, and one in Brentwood, California. Both homes were sold by her estate, the Brentwood home for around $5 million and the Carmel home for over $10 million.

To date, it is not clear who is going to benefit from her large net worth. Chances are her three stepchildren will see a nice sum, but betting money says that White left a nominal amount to her various animal charities. It is reported that she left at least $30K each to 10 different animal charities.

Betty White had an amazing career that lasted over eight decades. She brought joy to so many people wherever she went, and it is a shame that she didn’t quite make it to 100. Thankfully her work can still be seen in reruns and on streaming services. Her ability to make us smile will never go away.
