One person was killed while four others were injured which included Neil’s girlfriend Rain Hannah, her friend and their dogs, reportedly.
According to a report in Daily News, Neil’s aircraft veered into the parked jet which belonged to Vaughn while landing, shortly before 3 pm.
In addition to Vince Neil, the Wedding Crashers actor began trending across the internet as social media users have questioned the fact that he owns a private jet. They are expressing their disbelief as the comedy actor took a step back from acting a few years ago.
According to a 2024 report in Hot New HipHop, Vince Vaughn’s estimated net worth is $70 million. He has been known as the “face of comedy” in the 2000s. Let us have a look at his acting career to understand what led to instability in his life.
Exploring details about Vince Vaughn’s acting career
Vince Vaughn was once known as a celebrated comedic actor. He dominated the film industry in the ‘90s and the mid ‘00s with films like Wedding Crashers (2005) and Swingers (1996), where he gave unusual performances. A report in Celebrity Net Worth indicated that he made $15 to $20 million per movie during that time.
He was born on March 28, 1970, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. He began performing as a child and took up acting when he reached high school. He made several appearances in school plays and did improvisation comedy. After graduating in 1988, he moved to California to polish his acting skills, according to Britannica.
In 1989 he began landing small roles in television. He almost landed the role of Joey Tribbiani in the famous sitcom Friends. According to Vaughn’s IMDb profile, he made his first credited role in the film Rudy (1993) where he met his friend Jon Favreau. In 1996 he worked with Favreau on the film Swingers, where he played the character of Trent. Impressed by his performance, Steven Spielberg cast him in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, in 1997.
In the following years starting 1998, he landed roles in little-known films like A Cool, Dry Place, Clay Pigeons, and Return to Paradise. His big acting breakthrough began with the 2003 film Old School. It was followed by Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004), Wedding Crashers (2005), and The Break-Up (2006).
After several hits, his career graph came to a standstill as some of his films fell flat which included films like Couples Retreat (2009) and Delivery Man (2013), as per a report. People wondered what led to a fall in his acting career, to which he answered in an interview with GQ. The actor said,
"I left to go with a different agency [Creative Artists] as there was a ton of bad blood between my manager and my agent and they hadn't spoken to each other for something like six months."
He added,
“I'd had enough. I liked the new guys, they had some decent ideas but I didn't have the same sort of rapport as I'd had with my previous team. This tweak can affect your output, especially if you're not communicating brilliantly."
Several reports indicated that his interest in acting started to fade and he eventually shifted his focus to producing as he found the work behind the scenes more engaging.
"I'm not blaming anyone else but myself here. The machine can make you idle. You read a script and then you agree to a role, then soon enough you're on set looking at a scene that has had all the juice and the life sucked right out of it." The actor told GQ in an interview.
Vince Vaughn starred in the TV series True Detective as Frank Semyon in 2015, as per his IMDb profile. He will reportedly be seen in Nonnas, a 2025 comedy film which is directed by Stephen Chbosky.
