Produced in England, Stephen Hawking net worth has been estimated to achieve 20 million dollars. To people, he’s mainly known as among the very most successful scientists. Produced in 1942, Stephen Hawking whose complete name is Stephen William Hawking is also called a theoretical physicist and cosmologist. Jointly along with his buddy Roger Penrose, the scientist created theorems concerning the gravitational singularities saying they work in the framework of general relativity. Also, Stephen Hawking is well-known for his ideas in regards to the black holes.
The scientist has called that black holes should emit and distribute radiation. Moreover, his theorem about black holes is known now as the Hawking radiation or Bekenstein Hawking radiation. This award was actually special to him because it’s one of the best award in America given to civilians.
But the scientist endures from a motor neuron disease that is associated with sclerosis and as a result of this disorder, Stephen Hawking is paralyzed and can talk to the exterior world simply by way of a speech generating apparatus. During his life, Stephen Hawking reached important success discussing and demonstrating his theorems about cosmology and other theories generally. Also, the scientist composed some novels related to these issues plus among them called “A Brief History of Time” was in the record of the bestsellers in the British Sunday Times. Talking about his private life, Stephen Hawking was married two times and has three children. Although his sickness advanced over time, the scientist is still involved into many researches and is interested in every new discovery which starts his interest and raises Stephen Hawking net worth.
Between the years 1979 and 2009, Stephen Hawking was a professor of mathematics in the Cambridge University, which likewise added additional cash to the total sum of Stephen Hawking net worth.

Quote
1
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.
2
The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.
3
[on the Star Trek warp engine] I'm working on that.
4
However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.
5
Women. They are a complete mystery.
6
By the age of fourteen, I knew I wanted to do Physics because it was the most fundamental of the sciences.
7
[from "A Brief History of Time" (1989)] However, if we discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable by everyone, not just by a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we should know the mind of God.
8
[from A Brief History of Time (1991)] Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?
9
Some of our greatest catastrophes have been caused by people talking, and some by people not talking.
10
My goal is simple. It is complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is, and why it exists at all.
11
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
12
To confine our attention to terrestrial matters would be to limit the human spirit.
13
I think that computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Fact
1
Featured in television commercials for Jaguar autos in the UK in 2016.
2
He has an Erdös-Bacon-Sabbath number of 8, which ties him with Karl Schaffer for the lowest known EBS number on the planet.
3
Due to the American accent on his voice synthesizer, many people have no idea that he is really British. He has said he would like to replace it with a synthesizer with a British accent, but he has become so synonymous with his current one that he knows he can't.
4
Has admitted to having been quite lazy in his youth and notes that during his four years at Oxford, he did about 1000 hours of work (equating to about an hour-and-a-half for each day.) This earned him the ire of his teachers. At the end of his four years, the deans weren't sure if he deserved a first-class or second-class degree, due to the quality of his work. Hawking said that a first-class degree would get him into Cambridge; otherwise he'd have to stay at Oxford for his graduate work. The deans gave him a first-class degree.

6
His electronic voice was used in Pink Floyd's song "Keep Talking".

Hawking has been portrayed by actors including Benedict Cumberbatch (in the 2004 TV movie Hawking) and Eddie Redmayne (in The Theory of Everything). Hawking has appeared as himself in shows including "The Big Bang Theory," "The Simpsons," and "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

16
He appeared as guest star in a Star Trek episode, and asked the crew to make a tour of the Enterprise. When he saw the warp drive, he said "I'm working on that...".
17
Acquired (the incurable) amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (also known as Lou Gehrig's disease) in the early 1960s. Can now barely move or talk...but can yet think. And humankind continues as beneficiary of this man's brilliance.
