Chubby Checker grew up in Philadelphia with his parents and two brothers. He developed a passion for music at an early age, learning to play the piano and drums and imitating various singers. He received his education at South Philadelphia High School.
In 1959, Chubby founded his first music band at the age of eleven. He was discovered by a talent scout while selling chickens and singing casually. He signed a record deal with the label Cameo-Parkway in 1959 and adopted the stage name Chubby Checker. His breakthrough came when he popularized the dance craze “The Twist”, which became a huge hit in 1960. Subsequently, he achieved further success with hits like “Pony Time” (1961), “Let’s Twist Again” (1961), “Slow Twistin’” (1962), and “Limbo Rock” (1962), substantially increasing his net worth.
Although his popularity declined with the onset of the Beatles era in the mid-1960s, Checker continued to make music, with some moderate success. He also ventured into business, founding his own company in the late 1990s, which sold snack items. In 2007, he made a comeback with the hit “Knock Down the Walls”, reaching number one on the dance sales charts in the USA. All of his singles and albums have contributed to Chubby Checker’s overall net worth.
In his personal life, Checker has been married to Catharina Lodders, Miss World 1962, since 1964. The couple has three children and resides in Philadelphia.
