Daniel Lawrence Whitney’s net worth is estimated to be US$100 million and he drives a pristine 1967 Ford Mustang. He was born on a pig farm in Pawnee City, Nebraska, and still lives in the state, but in his public persona, he affects the look and drawl of a Southern red neck. He voted for The Criminal Donald John Trump and, during the 2016 presidential race, said, “Hillary Clinton’s election will be the end of the country”. On October 1, 2016, in his luxury suite at Memorial Stadium during the Nebraska vs. Illinois football game, an US Army veteran and Nebraska Army National Guard member, John O'Connell, challenged Whitney to an arm wrestling match. O’Connell lost the match in less than a minute when Whitney broke the man’s humerus bone. It’s a near certitude you’ve seen or heard this guy who, on stage, goes by another name.
