Who was Gary Dahl and what was his net worth?
Gary Dahl was a famous American copywriter, entrepreneur, and creative director, who had a net worth of $2 million at the time of his death. He was best known for inventing the Pet Rock, a fad that became popular in 1975 but only lasted about a year.
Born in Bottineau, North Dakota, in December 1936, Dahl used the money he made from the Pet Rock to open a bar in Los Gatos, California. He later tried to sell Sand Breeding Kits and Red China Dirt, but neither was very successful.
Dahl’s agency, Gary Dahl Creative Services, specialized in electronic advertising. He wrote and produced many radio and television commercials and authored the book Advertising For Dummies from the For Dummies series in 2007.
He passed away on March 23, 2015, at the age of 78, due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
