Billy Gray's net worth sits at an estimated $1.5 million, built across three very different careers — 1950s television stardom, decades of competitive motorcycle racing, and a surprising second act as a patented inventor. The American actor, competitive motorcycle racer and inventor is best known for his role as Bud Anderson on Father Knows Best (1954–1960). Few child stars have reinvented themselves quite so thoroughly as Gray, who has spent most of his adult life well away from Hollywood.
