After Theo's first season on Road Rules, he became a fixture on MTV's The Challenge.
Since then, Theo has made a career out of interviewing celebrities and sharing stories of his childhood in Illinois and Louisiana. So, what is Theo Von's net worth? It's enough to make the young version of the former Road Rules and Challenge star spit out some signature expletives and out-of-pocket comments.

A lot of Theo's comedy through stand-up shows and on his podcast, This Past Weekend, comes from his real-life experiences. Some of them are so wild that listeners and fans often wonder how true Theo's stories really are. But many still follow his every word. In 2012, Theo spoke to NOLA.com about his childhood and where he draws inspiration from for his comedy.
"Most of my frame of reference comes from poor people," he told the outlet. "We had dogs in our neighborhood [but] the first time I saw a dog inside somebody's house, I was shocked. I had no concept of it. It wasn't something that was normal to me."
He also said that, as a "meek" kid growing up, he had to use comedy as a "weapon" to get himself out of trouble.
Theo Von has never been married, and his dating history is unclear.
Theo started the This Past Weekend podcast in 2016. Over the years, he has shared details about his private life and admitted on his show that he has a hard time with commitment. He has never been married, and even his dating life is a bit of a mystery. There was a rumor in 2016 that Theo and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville dated briefly.
According to E! News, the pair began dating after meeting on their respective podcasts as guests for each other. It's unclear how serious things got, or if the pair really did date. But Theo is known for being open on his podcast about his inability to commit to a romantic relationship.
