Chris Raab Net Worth

What is Chris Raab's Net Worth?

Chris Raab is an American television personality, stunt performer, producer, and podcast host who has a net worth of $400 thousand.

Chris Raab is best known by his nickname Raab Himself and as a member of the CKY crew, the West Chester, Pennsylvania, group whose homemade skate, prank, and stunt videos helped lead to MTV's "Jackass." A longtime friend of Bam Margera, Raab appeared in the CKY video series, "Jackass," "Viva La Bam," and several related projects. He was part of the same crew that included Ryan Dunn, Brandon DiCamillo, Rake Yohn, and Jess Margera. Unlike some of his former collaborators, Raab later stepped away from the chaos of the CKY lifestyle, got sober, and built a quieter career behind the camera through podcasting, video production, and commercial work.

Early Life

Christian Joseph Raab was born on May 21, 1980, in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and grew up in West Chester. He attended West Chester East High School, where he became connected to Bam Margera and the group of friends who would later become central to the CKY videos.

Raab later attended Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a degree in communications and journalism. His nickname, Raab Himself, came from the CKY circle and became the name fans associated with him during the MTV era.

CKY and Jackass

Raab appeared in the CKY video series, including "Landspeed presents: CKY," "CKY2K," "CKY3," and "CKY4: The Latest & Greatest." The videos mixed skateboarding, stunts, pranks, music, and crude comedy, eventually becoming part of the foundation for "Jackass."

Raab appeared on "Jackass" in the early 2000s and then became a regular presence on "Viva La Bam," which aired on MTV from 2003 to 2005. On the show, he was usually part of Bam's extended crew, joining road trips, house invasions, pranks, and stunts built around the Margera family and West Chester scene.

Later Work

After leaving the CKY world, Raab worked to get sober and move into more stable behind-the-scenes entertainment work. He launched Green Gate Entertainment, a video production company, and later hosted the "Bathroom Break Podcast," where he interviewed figures from the "Jackass," CKY, skateboarding, music, and comedy worlds.

He also directed, wrote, and produced projects including "Hotdog Casserole" and "Borrowed Happiness," and later worked in production roles on projects such as "Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa" and "Jackass Forever." His later career showed that his connection to the franchise was not limited to on-camera stunts.

Personal Life

Raab is married and has one child. He has spoken publicly about addiction and sobriety, saying that leaving the CKY lifestyle was necessary for his health and future.

Although he was never as famous as Bam Margera or Johnny Knoxville, Chris Raab remains a recognizable figure to fans of the original CKY and "Jackass" era. His story is also one of the franchise's more grounded second acts: a former stunt personality who stepped away from self-destruction and rebuilt himself as a sober father, producer, and interviewer.
