Al Gore Net Worth $300 Million

Al Gore was born to Pauline (LaFon) Gore, almost the first woman to graduate from Vanderbilt University Law School, and Al Gore Sr., a Representative and then Senator. Al Jr. studied at St. Albans School, and as a teenager, expressed an interest in various sports, including football and basketball. Upon leaving high school, Gore enrolled at Harvard University, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in government, and then participated in the military draft, undergoing basic training at Fort Dix, then briefly served as a journalist until he was shipped to Vietnam as part of the 20th Engineer Brigade. When he was discharged from the military in 1971, Gore continued his studies at the Vanderbilt University Divinity School, and around the same time, he started working for the daily newspaper “The Tennessean”. In 1974, he quit his job at the newspaper and enrolled in the Vanderbilt University Law School . When he was 28 years old, Al Gore started his political career in the United States Congress, when in 1977 he won a seat in the House of Representatives, and has been involved in politics ever since.

Gore Jr. served in the House of Representatives from 1977 to ’85, and then moved to the Senate representing Tennessee from 1985 till 1993. Meantime, he campaigned unsuccessfully for the Democratic nomination in the presidential race in 1988. He was then selected as the Vice-Presidential running mate to Bill Clinton in 1992, and subsequently assumed his position in office in 1993, and served as the Vice-President under Clinton until 2001, in collectively the youngest partnership in US history.

Aside from politics, Al Gore became known for the books which he has published, including “The Spirit of Family”, “Earth in the Balance” and “The Assault on Reason”. His most recent work is a book entitled “The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change”, which was published in 2013. One of Gore’s books, namely “An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It”, won him a Grammy Award in the category of “Best Spoken Word Album”. In addition to the latter award, Al Gore received a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007, a also a Prince of Asturias Award, Primetime Emmy Award, and a Webby Award among many others.

Gore also became notable for his articles, including “We Can’t Wish Away the Climate Change”, which was published in the “New York Times” newspaper, and “The Climate Change Action Plan”, which he co-wrote with William J. (Bill) Clinton.

In his personal life, Al Gore married Tipper Aitcheson in 1970, and they have four children, but separated in 2010. Apparently Gore has since been dating Elizabeth Keadle, of California. He is currently the chairman of the Alliance for Climate Protection, in which policy he has a strong interest. He has also been a visiting professor at Middle Tennessee State University, Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Fisk University, and the University of California, Los Angeles.

#Quote
1John McCain, a man who has earned our respect on many levels, is now openly endorsing the policies of the [George W. Bush-Dick Cheney] White House and promising to actually continue them, the same policies, all over again. Hey, I believe in recycling, but that's ridiculous.
2Shouldn't we be promoting the kind of faithfulness and loyalty to one's partner regardless of sexual orientation? Because if you don't do that, then to that extent you're promoting promiscuity -- you're promoting all the problems that can result from promiscuity. And the loyalty and love that two people feel for one another when they fall in love ought to be celebrated and encouraged and shouldn't be prevented by any form of discrimination in the law.
3I think it's wrong for the government to discriminate against people because of that person's sexual orientation. I think that gay men and women ought to have the same rights as heterosexual men and women -- to make contracts, to have hospital visiting rights, to join together in marriage, and I don't understand why it is considered by some people to be a threat to heterosexual marriage to allow it by gays and lesbians.
4[Interview at the Cannes Film Festival, 5/20/06] I don't plan to be a candidate again for national office . . . I don't see any circumstances that would cause me to change my mind. I was in elective politics for 24 years. I've made four national races, two for President, two for Vice President. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I'm enjoying them." Interview at the Cannes Film Festival, May 20, 2006.
5A zebra does not change its spots.
6You know the old saying: you win some, you lose some... and then there's that little-known third category.
7I work very hard to get in touch with my feminine side.
8[on TV show "Nightline", 5/5/86, regarding the unsuccessful launch of an unmanned rocket shortly after the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion] To use a Southern euphemism, our space program has been snake-bit.
9Dr. Laura Schlessinger's words make me sick to my stomach.
#Fact
1Good friends with Matt Groening. He has made voice-over appearances as himself on his shows The Simpsons(1989) and Futurama(1999).

3Visiting Professor at UCLA, Fisk University, and Middle Tennessee State University. [2004]
4Senior Advisor to Google, Inc. [2002]
5Elected to Apple Computer's Board of Directors. [March 2003]
6After serving only five months of what would ordinarily have been a twelve month tour in Vietnam (as a "journalist") Gore attended but did not graduate from Vanderbilt School of Divinity and attended but did not graduate from Vanderbilt Law School . Instead, he took the opportunity to run for the U.S. House of Representatives.
7(October 29, 2007) Merited a place in Time magazine's Special Issue "Heroes of the Environment" (Leaders & Visionaries section) with a tribute penned by Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club.
8Born to Albert Gore Sr., a U.S. Representative and Senator from Tennessee, and his wife Pauline LaFon Gore, he had one older sister, Nancy Gore Hunger (died in 1984 from lung cancer).
9Nobel Peace Prize laureate, along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change (12 October 2007). [2007]
10Drives only hybrid vehicles.
11Was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, sharing the prize with the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Had he been the actual recipient of an Academy Award for the documentary An Inconvenient Truth (2006) in which he starred, he would have become the first person other than George Bernard Shaw to win both a Nobel Prize and an Oscar. Per Academy rules, the Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth (2006) was presented to director Davis Guggenheim. [2007]
12Debated with presidential candidate Ross Perot on live TV.
13Was a member of the Harvard Debating Team.
14Ran for President and won the popular vote, but lost the electoral vote 271-266. On election night several TV networks twice declared a winner in the state of Florida prematurely based on exit polls, before deciding the race was too close to call. It became clear that both candidates needed Florida's electoral votes to win the presidency. A month of controversial court challenges and recounts followed, until the Supreme Court of the United States in Bush v. Gore voted 7-2 to declare the ongoing recount procedure unconstitutional because it feared that different standards would be used in different parts of the state. It then halted further recounts by voting 5-4 to ban further recounts using alternate procedures. George W. Bush was certified as the winner in Florida by a margin of 537 votes, thereby defeating Gore. [2000]
15A distant relative of Jessica Simpson, Ashlee Simpson, Rosemary Gore.
16One of his eight times great-grandfathers, Domingo Madeiros, was a Portuguese man who came to Virginia in the 17th century, making Al Gore 1/1024 Portuguese. His other ancestry includes English, some Scottish, and a smaller amount of German.
17Though he claims Tennessee as his home state, and was a congressman and senator from that state, he lived there for only four years of his entire life. He was born in Washington, DC (his father, Albert Gore Sr., was a senator from Tennessee). He lived in DC until he graduated from high school, then moved to Harvard from 1965-1969. After graduating from Harvard, he was a journalist in the US Army in Vietnam from 1969-1971. The only years he lived in Tennessee were from 1971-1976, when he attended Vanderbilt Law School. He never practiced law, however, because a few months after graduation from law school in 1976 he was elected to the US House of Representatives. Later he was elected to the US Senate, where he served until January 1993.
18Son of Albert Gore Sr.

27Scored 1350 on the SAT.
28Is fluent in Spanish.
29From an article by Mountain Democrat columnist David Jacobsen: "In a March 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer, Gore said, "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet." Taken in context, the sentence, despite some initial ambiguity, means that as a congressman Gore promoted the system we enjoy today, not that he could patent the science, though that's how the quotation has been manipulated. Hence the disingenuous substitution of "inventing" for the actual language."
30Is among the few known persons whose names anagram into one-word letters, i.e. transpositions. Re-arranging the letters in "Al Gore" yields either "galore" or "gaoler". Others names with this property include Tom Cruise ("costumier"), Condoleezza Rice (as Condi Rice: ("coincider"), Congressmen Ed Royce ("decoyer"), and Ed Pastor ("adopters", "pastored", "readopts") and commentator Eleanor Clift ("reflectional").
31Children: Karenna Gore (born August 6, 1973), Kristin Gore (born June 5, 1977), Sarah Gore (born January 7, 1979) and Albert Gore III (born October 19, 1982).
32Attended Vanderbilt University Divinity School and Vanderbilt Law School.
33Worked as an investigative reporter at The Tennessean.
34Served in Vietnam for nearly five months as an army journalist.
35Graduated with honors from Harvard University, with a degree in government. [1969]
36Born at 12:53pm-EST
37His roommates at Harvard were actor Tommy Lee Jones and Erich Segal.
38While appearing as a guest on The Dennis Miller Show (1992), he was asked about having confessed to smoking marijuana. Miller followed the question up by asking, "So, who rolls a tighter joint, you or Tipper?" Gore chuckled and cleverly side-stepped, managing not to give a real answer. Tipper Gore, however, who was watching just out of camera range, was shocked and fumed, not at all pleased with the line of questioning.
