Personal Life, Career, and Net Worth
Talking of his personal life, not much is known about Daniel’s private life; it is unclear if he is dating or married. He has not revealed any information regarding that, so it is uncertain if he has any children.
In his career, nothing much is known as well. But given his father’s success in the entertainment industry, he must have inherited something to set up a business with if he has no career. Given that what Daniel does to earn a living is unknown, it is hard to estimate his net worth, but his father had a net worth of 50 million US dollars at the time of his death.
His Father

Harold’s Health and Death
Daniel’s father had an infection in 2010 resulting from autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis. The complications from the infection led to his loss of ability to walk. Despite the nightmare, Harold learned how to walk again but suffered a relapse of autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis.
