The celebrity world is far different from the “ordinary people”. We are surrounded by information about everyone who makes something from themselves. Whatever you do, what social applications you use or what kind of performance you watch, you know about celebrities and about their lives.
Have you ever wondered how much money made by celebrities and how do they do it? The truth is, everyone can be famous if they focus on the right thing at the right time.
Are you a fan of stand-up events? If you are like me, you might have watched too many stand-up shows on YouTube, Netflix or other stream services that you use. Lately, I learned about Ali Wong. The event appeared as a recommended event on Netflix and I decided to give him a chance. And God, do I like it?! I watched every other show available on Netflix and then I continued to Google him.
She talked a lot about her husband on the stand-up and especially on his last special Netflix, so because she mentioned that some of her husband was a man with a Harvard title who somehow made less money than him (at least that’s what he said), I decided to do A little research about him.
This is what I found about him, so if you are interested in things like this like me, I do your homework for you!
Early life and Education
Let’s start with this – Ali’s husband is Justin Hakuta. He was born in Los Angeles, California on October 18, 1981.
He comes from a mixed family. His father was the inventor of Japan-American and TV personality, and his mother was a Filipino. Hakuta has two younger siblings, so one family with three children must make an interesting household.
Wong said too much on the stand-up that her husband was very pushed and hardworking and biography proved that. He has a bachelor’s degree in the field of decision from the University of Carnegie Mellon. When studying the science of decisions, he traveled to Mexico to study the cognitive science, economy, and history of Mexico at Tecnológico de Monterrey for a year.
Another extraordinary thing that Wong repeated repeatedly about her husband was that he was a graduate of Ivy League who had achieved a master’s degree in the business administration of the Harvard Business School.
Career Success
After completing his education, Justin started working on his career. He works in various fields and departments from various companies.
He began his career as a sales and marketing partner and then continued to establish a buffet throughout the day. The next path he chose was to work as a research analyst.
Hakuta also funded Aviara and worked as a product leader. As a product leader, he manages a team consisting of 10 contracts and contract engineers and develops and launches different technological platforms.
Some of his next jobs include working as in product strategies, UX Lead and he also has a job as a product manager.
Until recently Hakuta as Vice President of Multi-Million Technology Company GoodRX dollar. When he worked in most of these positions, he supported his wife on his tour. He did that by helping at his merchaer booth, selling t-shirts and stolen goods to fans.
To promote a healthier lifestyle, he started Yogastart and collaborated with famous organizations such as Tea, Seventh Generation, and Patagonia.
In short, we can write a book about his business career. This person does so much and excels in every position he has. And the amazing thing is, he is not even 40 years old!
Personal Life and Net Worth
Ali Wong and Justin Hakuta met at a wedding in 2010 and he asked him to attend one of the stand-up performances. He was captivated by his enthusiasm and his sense of humor. In Netflix Special, Baby Cobra, Ali talks about him and how he thinks Justin is a catch.
They were married in 2014 after four years of dating. They welcomed their first daughter, Mari in November 2015. Their second daughter was born in December 2017 and Ali did her first netflix when she was 7 months pregnant with her first child and did a special netflix when she, once again, 7 months pregnant 7 months pregnant with children both of them.
Although Hakuta is surrounded by celebrities, because his father is a famous TV personality and his wife is one of the best comedians in this era, Justin is very personality about his own personal life.
He is not very active on social media and most of the things we know about him are because his wife tells them to us. This couple is not ashamed to post a lot of photos of daily struggle they have two children.
At present, Justin acts as his wife’s manager and he is one of his biggest supporters. Both of them travel together since they started dating.
Now let’s talk a little about Justin’s clean wealth. When he was active in his professional career, he was very good at everything he did, so he really made a lot of money.
His net worth is estimated at around 1.2 million US dollars. However, his wife, on the other hand, has two successful Netflix special, a film, he appeared on many TV shows and he has many writing credit. The estimated net worth is around 3 million US dollars. In one of his special, he joked about marrying a man who has a Harvard business title, so he can become a trophy wife and eventually make more money than him.
Both Ali and Justin look very happy together in his Instagram pictures and they look like a perfect couple.
We certainly can’t wait to hear what Ali said about her extraordinary husband Justin on the next Netflix Netflix! Until then, we had to wait for him to be a little more open about his personal life.
Is there anything you know about Hakuta that other people don’t have? No matter what you do or don’t know, one thing is certain, he looks like a very cool and happy man and we hope he will stay like that!
