What is Nick Vujicic's Net Worth?
Nick Vujicic is an Australian-born Christian evangelist author and motivational speaker who has a net worth of $500 thousand.

Early Life and Education
Nick Vujicic was born on December 4, 1982 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to Serbian immigrants Dušanka and Borislav, the latter of whom is a pastor. He has two siblings named Michelle and Aaron. Vujicic was born with tetra-amelia syndrome, a rare condition characterized by the absence of all four limbs. He later wrote in his autobiography that his mother refused to see or hold him right after he was born, and that she chose to leave the hospital with her husband. Because of his condition, Vujicic was bullied mercilessly at school; it got so bad that he attempted to drown himself. His parents struggled to raise him, but came around to having an optimistic mindset. Vujicic eventually learned how to use the two toes he had as fingers. For his higher education, he attended Griffith University in South East Queensland.
Motivational Speaking
Vujicic started giving motivational talks when he was 17, speaking about his disability at school and at church-sponsored events. Embracing Christian evangelism, he has since become an inspirational speaker giving talks around the world. He has traveled to over 75 different countries and presented to crowds as big as 800,000. Through his ministry Life Without Limbs, Vujicic spreads his faith in Jesus Christ. In 2022, he launched a ministry initiative called Champions for the Brokenhearted, which works to support groups in need.
