Before becoming the household name he is today, Steve Howey's childhood wasn't very glamorous. In fact, the actor has been open about his past and the fact that he grew up on a boat. "We didn't have any money, but my parents did work a lot," he told CBS. "They had an aquarium-cleaning business, my mom worked for a sound company, Dad taught acting and made videos on chiropractic care. They were all over the place."
He continued, "They traveled a lot, searching. They were on their own journey and I happened to just go along with them." Howey said that when he wanted something to eat, his dad Bill had to cast a line to catch a fish. He also admitted that there were times he didn't think they'd survive. The star explained, "When there would be a gale [strong wind], my parents would get so freaked about capsizing, they would get harnessed in, bring up the safety raft, and put me in my bunk. So, I would be in my bunk for three days at a time, just coming out to make sure that my parents were still alive."
He told Forbes the experience humbled him as he "got to fish for lunch and dinner. I really learned how to survive on the ocean." Despite the hard times, Howey is now worth an estimated $2 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
