Donald McKinley Glover, known professionally as Childish Gambino, was born in 1983 in California and raised in Stone Mountain, Georgia. His mother, Beverly Glover, is a retired daycare provider, and his father, Donald Glover Sr., was a postal worker. Both were foster parents and practiced the Jehovah's Witness faith. Glover attended Lakeside High School and the DeKalb School of the Arts before earning a degree in Dramatic Writing from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
Glover began his professional entertainment career in 2006 as a writer for the NBC comedy series 30 Rock. He also made occasional cameo appearances in the show. His work on 30 Rock earned him a Writers Guild of America Award in 2009 for Best Comedy Series. He initially gained attention as a member of the sketch comedy group Derrick Comedy, which became popular on YouTube and other online platforms.
Donald Glover's acting career surged when he was cast as Troy Barnes, a college student and former high school football star, in NBC’s comedy series Community. The show ran from 2009 to 2015 and developed a strong cult following. Glover’s performance was widely appreciated for its comedic timing and depth, contributing to his growing reputation in Hollywood.
Under the stage name Childish Gambino—a moniker he generated using the Wu-Tang Clan name generator—Glover ventured into music. He began by self-releasing mixtapes and debut album projects. His first independent album, Sick Boi, was released in 2008. In 2011, he signed with Glassnote Records and released the album Camp later that year. The album received favorable reviews and helped solidify his dual identity as both a musician and actor.
Glover has successfully navigated careers in music, television, and film, earning acclaim in each domain. His versatility and talent have contributed to an estimated net worth of approximately $8 million, though this figure has varied over time and across sources. Much of his early earnings came from his television work, including writing for 30 Rock and acting in Community. He has also appeared in Comedy Central productions and later achieved global recognition with his Grammy-winning album "Awaken, My Love!" and the viral hit single "This Is America."
