Dennis Haskins, best known for playing Principal Richard Belding in Saved by the Bell, has died at the age of 75. His death has prompted renewed interest in his career, family and reported net worth.
A statement shared after his death said Haskins had been battling Parkinson’s for some time, although a formal cause of death was not identified.
“Late last night, that journey ended for him. He is now at peace and is probably entertaining the people in the sky. Just know that if you tried to reach out to him in the last few years, I did read your messages to him, and you were heard. After I said my final goodbyes to him last night, I was across the hall signing some paperwork. I looked up and saw that the room he had been in was a gift from the Mario Lopez Golf Classic, and somehow, that made me feel a little better. What a cool and amazing life he had. Rest in peace, Dennis. You were very much loved and will never be forgotten,” the statement read.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Haskins had an estimated net worth of around $400,000. The figure is an estimate rather than a confirmed account of his finances.
Haskins was born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and was married to Sarah Dianne Goins before their divorce. They had one child together, although details about the child have not been publicly disclosed.
Before establishing his television career, Haskins worked as a music manager, agent and concert promoter, with clients including Tom Jones and Gregg Allman.
His acting credits extended beyond Saved by the Bell to shows including CHiPs, Knots Landing, The Dukes of Hazzard, The West Wing and 7th Heaven.
