American actor and director Paul Michael Glase has an estimated net worth of $4 million. He first appeared on a New York stage in Joseph Papp’s 1968 production of Rockabye Hamlet. Billed in the early stages of his career as Michael Glaser, he was featured on Broadway in The Man in the Glass Booth, in such films as Fiddler on the Roof as Perchik and Butterflies are Free, and on the TV soap operas Love is a Many Splendored Thing and Love of Life.

Glaser reverted to his three-barreled name when he got cast as Detective David Starsky, one of two hotshot young police officers who jetted around an unnamed crime-ridden municipality in their bright red 1974 Ford Torino and attempted to wipe the streets clean of the criminal element, on the long-running  TV cop series Starsky and Hutch. In the late 1980s, Glaser’s life was torn apart by the most appalling of tragedies. As the result of a contaminated blood transfusion, his wife Elizabeth and their two children were infected with the HIV virus, and in 1988, their daughter Ariel died at age seven.

Subsequently, Paul and Elizabeth became the most adamant, tireless, and omnipresent AIDS awareness activists in any profession. In 1988, the two helped found the Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Sadly, Elizabeth died in December of 1994. Since then, the Elizabeth Glaser Scientists Award was established to fund research into the AIDS virus. Glaser subsequently remarried producer/writer Tracy Barone in 1996. However, after a little over a decade together, the two filed for divorce.
