I live down the street from him. He is all tatted up and treats the kids in the neighborhood like shit and rants about how at their age he was worth millions of dollars. He uses almost exactly this twitter line in every story that I have heard people around here tell about him.

He was obviously pushed into entertainment by his mom at a very young age, and it fucked him up. He probably didn't get to build a solid foundation as a person from a caring family, education, and support network outside of those attracted to his fame and money. It is all he really has.

  1. Zero fucks whether you believe me or not
  2. How would I prove that to internet satisfaction?

I'll keep sharing stories because I would want to know shit about grown up Malcolm if I was on the other side of this computer. The neighborhood in Phoenix we live in is called Arcadia. It is an affluent and VERY close and family oriented neighborhood (Everyone knows everything about everyone.). Kids toilet paper his house all the time because he is who he is. Some younger high school kids were cleaning up the tp one day in broad daylight because they felt sorry for him (the kids here are fucked up on all kinds of drugs, but they are very polite and friendly. they all go to the same upper middle class catholic girl's and boy's schools and hang out at the family gym/racquetball/tennis/swim club across the street).

The gf joined them in picking up but went inside for a minute. He drove up and grabbed them by the necks and was yelling to his gf to call the cops. He was shouting in their faces how pathetic they were and how he was a star and worth millions at half their age (Seriously, this shit is said in every story that I hear). These are like 14-15 year old neighborhood kids that are pretty smart, play sports, do well in school, etc. Not like 18 year old delinquents or anything. They explained what they were doing (why the fuck would they come back in the middle of the day?), but he didn't believe them and continued on about how the entire property was covered in cameras and that the police would decide. The wife came out and told him that they were doing. He went inside to watch the video tape (it was some tween grade school kids), came back, and told them to get out of there. This is middle of the day, neighbors watching craziness.

I have had one, brief interaction with his wife. She is hotter in real life than she is in those pictures. I played varsity college sports, am reasonably put together, and have hooked up with my fair share of sloots, but she is truly and incredibly naturally beautiful. It is the only time my brain has literally shut down for a second.

I don't know what else. His house is baller as fuck. He is into bmx, motocross, and racing. THE CHEAP FUCKER HANDS OUT MINI SIZED CANDY AT HALLOWEEN! Well, his gf does. I have never seen him do it.

I don't know the guy that well. That is the story that everyone in the neighborhood knows in detail to be true because so many people saw it.

There was obviously the incident with the gun and police flooding the neighborhood. I don't think that is cool subject though. He just didn't mature emotionally and has excessive amounts of money. Drives nice cars pretty fast through the neighborhood. Likes the rap. There are a lot of rumors of drug use extensively beyond what could be considered "healthy" recreational levels. No other stories that wouldn't be straight gossip.

Found his birth name on wikipedia

Looked up this name on Maricopa County Recorder's Office

Cross-referenced address listed in Deed of Trust with County Assessors office

Looked up Arcadia, AZ and got directions from there to the address listed in google maps

Verified.

What eitauisunity said. Also, depending on what part of the state you live in, summers are like living in the Yukon in winter in that you extremely limit your exposure to the elements. That leaves a lot of time left to figure out how to spend. Thus, Reddit. By the time winter rolls around and things have cooled off, you're already hooked.

Hey, my friend was his good friend and neighbor when he was just getting famous. He lived in a pretty modest house. When I visited, I saw his bulldog walking around on the front lawn (and he was still pretty young then, not at the peak of his fame) and I saw Frankie with golf clubs. It seems like the pretensh got to his head a little early.

In terms of self sponsered amateur racers, Frankie is actually one of the best out there. It's pretty much unheard of to do what he's doing, this late in his life (most racers started semi-pro kart racing by the time they are 11).

The only other people that picked up open wheel racing when they were adults and actually started moving up the ranks are the same kind of guys getting paid $30,000,000 a year to race for Toyota and Audi.

Also, almost every famous racer in history have been notorious for not giving two fucks about the rules and other racers / teams, that's one of the reasons they do so well, they don't give two fucks about anyone other than themselves. That's the kind of attitude it takes to succeed in racing, and most sports in general, for better or worse.

edit: He's still probably a douchebag, but don't be a hater and deny that he isn't obviously good at what he tries to be good at.

[–]airchompers 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't know about that. There's plenty of gifted amateur racers and I haven't seen anything to suggest that Frankie is especially fast. He finished midpack or worse in all series he has entered which means he's slow even at the semi-pro level.

there's no way he's going professional on someone else's dime.

Frankie Muniz apparently shops at a Safeway my brother used to work at. He never met him, but his store manager did... Frankie was shopping with his girlfriend begging her like a two year old that he wanted to buy ice cream. The manager kept saying that he looked like Frankie Muniz, and he was just like ORLY? Finally his girlfriend said... "Yeah, he's Frankie Muniz"

Really? He was forced into stardom and adulthood without growing into an independent adult first. His mom probably controlled everything he did to get him to be a child star. He never grew up. He probably feels to need to have a strong woman tell him what to do. A lot of men with "power" feel the need to lose control and have someone else make decisions for them. It is in the same line as dominatrices and femme fatales. It is a pretty popular cliche...

He is human. Psychology is pretty cool.

You could easily make $40 million as the star in 151 episodes of a prime time sitcom.

There was only 151? Wow, I thought there was more.

That's about $265,000 per episode. I guess that's possible. I don't mind saying it makes me feel like kicking him in the balls.

The difference between people with money and people without money is that people with money are able to invest that money in things that will increase their net worth.

If you have a significant amount of savings just sitting in a bank, you don't understand how money works.

do you realize how many stations reruns of malcolm run on? he gets paid for all of those still. not only that but the show was on for years, and if he had a halfway decent financial adviser I wouldn't be surprised if he had closer to $60M

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points ago

well much of that money was locked away because he was a minor, so that helped the wealth save up. and maybe his parents invested some of it.

[–]acog 3 points4 points ago

Yeah, I'm guessing they invested wisely. A sharp contrast to Gary Coleman's parents. Check out this quote:

Coleman earned roughly $18 million during his career on 'Diff'rent Strokes.' At one point, he was earning close to $100,000 per episode on the show, where he was clearly the star. His parents created a trust fund for the money, but signed themselves up as paid employees. When Coleman was 18, the trust was dissolved, leaving $770,000 for his parents and only $220,000 for him. This was a shock to Coleman, since $18 million invested in a diversified portfolio should have left him well over $10 million in the bank . For him to have less than $1 million in the trust fund after all those years signals serious neglect on the part of those who'd been trusted with his money.

So basically they were shit investors AND they robbed him blind. So sad.

He played around in real estate. I think that's how he made the bulk of his money.

I dont think you understand TV. Not only do they get paid for doing the show, they get residuals each time its played..

For instance Charlie sheen made 1.1 million dollars per episode, then he made residuals on top of that each times its played..

He did 151 eps of Malcom!

Theres a crap load of money in TV.

[–]Epicman 1 point2 points ago

Look up how much people in prime time shows are paid per episode. Then he raced cars for a bit. Made commercials during his peak and had a few decent grossing movies. Yea, 40 mill is no problem.

[–]eagle_body_man_dick 1 point2 points ago

Honestly he probably made as much if not more from spy kids than malcolm. Little kids movies kill it in box office take, dvd sales and merchandise

Royalties from reruns off of Malcom in the Middle. Syndication can make you big bucks if it's played often enough even for something as little as a commercial.

Even though I've seen this dozens of times, it still rankles to no end. Every shred of respect I may have had for someone is nullified when they choose to compare themselves to others and use dollars signs to do it.

while i would usually agree, the part that gets me the most about this is the utterly condescending tone of mr dew's truly pointless tweet.

Yeah Frankie wasn't like walking down the street slapping people with wads of money. He got insulted and snapped back. Shit if I was some fancy celebrity I would get screwed for doing this kind of shit every once in a while when I'm having a rough one and just don't have any patience for peoples unnecessary online bullshit.

[–]GoatBased 27 points28 points ago

He didn't say he's better than iHeartMtnDEW, he said his life is better. That's a crucial difference because while $40,000,000 doesn't mean that Frankie Muniz is one iota better than iHeartMtnDEW, it probably means his life is easier, more carefree, and more fun. Sure, you could then go on to say that there's more to life than just being wealthy, but being set for life in a way that allows you to fill your days with whatever makes you happy is a damn good starting point.

I would not assume that is who he is based on just this tweet. He may well be a decent guy normally. He was just coming back at someone who had a go at him for no resin and this was a good way to do it.
