As a teenager, Andrew was more into sports than into acting or business. Back when he was in high school, the future millionaire was a Regional All America football player and spent a winter studying and playing football in Glasgow for Queen’s Park FC. Although in the end Andrew did not pursue a professional career as an athlete, sport remains an important part of his life. The actor and entrepreneur is quoted saying: “Winning isn’t everything, but playing and competing and striving and going through things can be a lot of fun and really important. As long as you’re doing it in a way that’s healthy, sports can be an incredible opportunity.“ His acting career started in 1992, when Andrew was already 25 years old. That year he was cast for what became a popular television series Melrose Place by Aaron Spelling. The show ran for 7 years and through all this time Shue remained in the main cast. Not surprisingly, this job has increased Andrew Shue net worth quite a bit.
Although Andrew‘s career on movies was not particularly long or intensive, he had the chance to work with one of the most talented movie directors of all time – Francis Ford Coppola. In 1997 he featured in his drama film The Rainmaker. Although the movie was not particularly successful commercially, grossing $45 million on a budget of $40 million, it received generally positive critical reviews. More importantly, it gave Andrew the chance to work alongside such stars as Danny DeVito.
Now as about his work with social media networks, it all started in the mid 2000s. In 2006 Shue and his childhood friend founded a website CafeCom and by 2009 its profits for a quarter of year amounted to $6 million! The secret behind the success of this website, which eventually boosted Andrew Shue net worth to $100 dollars, was a well chosen audience and good timing.
