Early Life, Parents, And Education

Born on June 29, 1965, in Liverpool, United Kingdom, the brilliant director and writer Simon Aboud has made his career in the entertainment sector. He grew up in Liverpool and attended the University of Birmingham after graduating from high school. 

While personal details about actors and filmmakers are mostly public, the Liverpool-born filmmaker is very secretive about his life. So, there is very little information about Simon Aboud's parents and his childhood. However, he has revealed a few tidbits about his family on his social media, including the fact he has a little sister. He has successfully kept secrets about his personal life but has posted pictures of his mother and father on his Instagram account and revealed that his mother was suffering from Alzheimer's.

Net Worth And Career

Considering how immensely multi-talented he is, it won't be amazed if Simon Aboud's net worth is high. He has amassed a considerable sum from his career as a writer and director.

Simon Aboud started his career as a director of the short movie, Enchantment in 2004. However, he only gained attention after directing the film, Comes a Bright Day. While the movie helped him get noticed in the industry, according to Box Office Mojo, it managed to earn only $1,142 worldwide.

He continued to direct several movies, including, This Beautiful Fantastic, a contemporary fairy tale starring Tom Wilkinson, Mia Farkasovska, and Jeremy Irvine. Additionally, Simon has also worked as a director on several commercials, short films, and television series like All You Need Is Me, Paul McCartney's Fuh You, among others.

With a total of 10 credits as a director in the movies and tv series, there is no doubt that Aboud has gained success in the entertainment industry. And from all of these works, Simon must have earned a significant amount.

In addition to directing, Simon Aboud has also written few projects. His first writing project was Enchantment. He has since worked on four other shorts and movies as a writer and must have pocketed a considerable sum from them.

Likewise, Simon has also worked for strong cinematic pieces of alcohol brands, including Beefeater Gin and Highland Park Whisky. He might have earned a tremendous amount of money from these projects. So, undoubtedly, Simon Aboud's net worth is massive.
