Brock Pierce: Net Worth, Age, Height & Everything You Need To Know About The Former Child Actor

Brock Pierce did not follow the typical path laid out for Hollywood child stars, as, since his retirement from acting, he has become an incredibly successful businessman with a high net worth. Born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pierce started acting when he was a toddler, first appearing in commercials. In the 1990s, Pierce starred in Disney hits like The Mighty Ducks, D2: The Mighty Ducks, and First Kid. Although Pierce had a fruitful acting career, he eventually retired at 16 years old to try his hand at business.

Pierce found quick success, and he was at the helm of ventures like Internet Gaming Entertainment, Titan Gaming, and, eventually, cryptocurrency. The actor-turned-entrepreneur is also a philanthropist, as he has worked with organizations like Toys for Tots. While pursuing his love of business, Pierce met the love of his life. In 2021, he married Crystal Rose. Like Pierce, Rose is also a pioneer of business and industry. Rose is the CEO of Sensay, an AI-powered chatbot service, and she serves as the co-chairman for the United Council of Rising Nations.

Brock Pierce's Net Worth

He's Worth Between $700 Million and $1.1 Billion

According to Forbes, Pierce is worth between $700 million and $1.1 billion. The business publication featured the former child star in their "Richest People in Cryptocurrency" feature back in 2018, and they confirmed that Pierce made most, if not all, of his fortune in cryptocurrency. Pierce was one of the first investors in the currency back at the beginning of the 2010s andmade much of his money funding cryptocurrency companies like Mastercoin, Coinbase. and Ethereum.

Although the majority of Pierce's wealth comes from his early investments in crypto, he has also delved into gaming ventures. Pierce was forced out of his company, Internet Gaming Entertainment, due to a class-action lawsuit in 2006. However, he did find major success in the gaming industry after founding ZAM in 2003. ZAM was a network of websites centered around highly successful multiplayer online role-playing games including the constantly expanding classic World of Warcraft. A Chinese company, Tencent, bought ZAM in 2012 for an undisclosed amount (via Marbridge Consulting).

However, Pierce's business career hasn't always been successful. At only 16, Pierce became a minor partner at Digital Entertainment Network, which was meant to deliver episodic video content over the internet, much like streaming services or YouTube. Sadly, the Digital Entertainment Network was denied its initial public offering funds due to sexual assault allegations surrounding Pierce and co-partner Marc Collins-Rector. Amid the allegations, Pierce and two other DEN employees fled the US but were eventually arrested by Interpol employees in Spain. Pierce was not charged with any crime, and DEN filed for bankruptcy back in 2000 (via Rolling Stone).

Brock Pierce's Age & Height

The "First Kid" Is A Scorpio

Pierce was born on November 14th, 1980, making him 44 years old as of January 2025. Pierce's mid-November birthday makes him a Scorpio, which makes a lot of sense considering his successful business career. Scorpios are known for being intense, to the point of intimidation, and their intensity often leads to business success.

The passionate water sign is also known for being bold. Pierce's passion for taking business risks, especially on cryptocurrency, perfectly aligns with his zodiac sign. Pierce was actually one of the first players in the Bitcoin game, which was certainly a risky move. In 2013, Pierce's venture capital firm, Blockchain Capital, was behind one of the first security token assets (via TechCrunch). According to BTCC, which is a Bitcoin academy website, Pierce is 5 feet 11 inches tall.

Pierce Ran For U.S. President In 2020

He Also Helped Bitcoin Become The Official Currency Of El Salvador

In July 2020, Pierce announced his candidacy in the 2020 US Presidential Election. He ran as an Independent alongside his running mate, fellow entrepreneur Karla Ballard. Pierce appeared on the presidential ballot in three states, including Oklahoma, Colorado, and Arkansas (via The Denver Post). Pierce's campaign was even nominated by the New York Independence Party, and was notably managed by hip-hop singer Akon (via UPROXX).

When all the ballots were counted, though, Pierce only received 0.03% of total votes (via Federal Election Commission). But, running for President hasn't been Pierce's only political venture — aside from playing the president's son in First Kid. In 2021, Pierce spearheaded the international delegation that eventually helped make Bitcoin the official currency of El Salvador. Pierce recently posted on his Instagram that he attended the 2025 inauguration of Donald Trump.
