Former NFL star Michael Oher has set the internet ablaze after filing a lawsuit against his adopted family, particularly his parents – Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy.

He alleged they tricked him to sign away his rights as a minor and also that he made zero profits from the very popular movie ‘The Blindside’, based on his life with the Tuohy’s.

That has catapulted their story to the top of the trends and in this article we look at the Tuohy net worth – who are Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy and what is the Tuohy family net worth?

Let’s get straight to the point. The Tuohy net worth is a staggering $75m -according to the Daily Mail.

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy are an American couple of business-minded entrepreneurs with a combined family net worth of approximately $75 million.

The Tuohy net worth is built up from their combined professions and businesses to create an enviable family net worth.

At one point, Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy owned around 115 franchises of Taco Bell, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Pizza Hut, and Long John Silver’s.

The couple eventually sold the majority of the franchises in six different transactions. This significantly boosted up the Tuohy net worth.

Individually, Leigh Anne Tuohy is an American businesswoman and interior designer. She is most known as the adoptive mother of teenage future football star Michael Oher.

A successful interior decorator, Leigh Anne Tuohy was a design team member for the interior decorating reality TV series “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” on ABC.

For his part, Sean Tuohy is an American sports commentator, restaurateur and businessman. Over the years, he worked as a sports analyst for radio broadcasts for Ole Miss and the Memphis Grizzlies NBA team.

He worked for the Memphis Grizzlies as a broadcaster in 2001. He also served as an analyst for Ole Miss radio broadcasts for seven years, helped create the Grace Evangelical Church in Memphis, and had a successful career as a motivational speaker.

In 2010, Sean and Leigh Anne co-wrote the book “In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving,” a “New York Times” bestseller.

Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy were the subjects of the 2006 best-selling book “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.” The book was eventually adapted into the 2009 movie “The Blind Side”.

In the film, Leigh Anne is played by Sandra Bullock in an Academy Award-winning performance whilst Sean is portrayed by Tim McGraw.

The Tuohy family net worth enables the couple to live a massively lavish life.

According to MailOnline: The Tuohy family “spend their days visiting Disney World, driving expensive sports cars, enjoying dinner parties, attending VIP sports events, sunbathing on the beach, and flying off on glamorous trips – getting there via private jet, of course.

“They also own an expansive real estate portfolio,,” the site adds, which has allowed them to push the Tuohy net worth up to $75 million.

Within the past year alone, the couple have visited Venice, Florence, and Lake Como in Italy, Park City in Utah, The Bahamas, New York City, and Paris, France.

The Blind Side movie opened a lot of doors for the Tuohy to grow their family net worth and has now spawned a legal battle between them and their adoptive son over how they had cheated him out of money to beef their own net worth.

Leigh Anne Tuohy

Dubbed a “warrior princess” by author Michael Lewis in his best-selling book The Blind Side, Leigh Anne is the inspirational matriarch of the Tuohy family. She graduated from Ole Miss and while there met her husband, Sean Tuohy.

Both were ambitious college students: Leigh Anne was a cheerleader and an active member of her sorority, Kappa Delta and Sean became a record-breaking SEC basketball champion (and still holds that record today!).

She is a New York Times best-selling author of In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving.

Another book authored by Leigh Anne, Turn Around, is a five-day-per-week devotional that uses scripture as a springboard to reconsider what it means to give sacrificially, generously, and immediately.

After The Blind Side was released the response was overwhelming and as a result Sean and Leigh Anne established their charity, The Making it Happen Foundation, which promotes awareness, provides hope, and improves standards of living for all the children fighting to survive in the invisible cracks in society.

She makes appearances on various broadcasts in the national media, including Fox and Friends, Good Morning America, 20/20, The Today Show, Sean Hannity, CNN, Huffington Post Live and HLN, to name a few. Leigh Anne is a sought after motivational speaker represented by GTN, a United Talent Agency Company.

They truly believe that everyone has the ability to make a difference.

Sean Tuohy

A native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Tuohy knew what it meant to be the poor kid in a private school… he had been one himself.

With sports as his meal ticket through high school and college, Tuohy left home after graduating from The Isidore Newman School and headed for The University of Mississippi, better known as Ole Miss, on a basketball scholarship.

When Tuohy graduated from Ole Miss, he shattered every major SEC assist record. Tuohy had become a legend in the SEC! He led Ole Miss to their first ever SEC championship and holds honors from Hall of Fames to retired jerseys.

Drafted by the NBA’s New Jersey Nets in 1982, Tuohy opted to continue his career overseas before returning to the US to be with his father during his final days.

He became a successful entrepreneur building a company that now owns and operates fast food restaurants including Taco Bell, KFC and Freddy’s.

Tuohy has been married to his college cheerleader sweetheart, the former Leigh Anne Roberts, since 1982. They are the proud parents of daughter Collins and sons Michael Oher and Sean Junior.

Prior to Tuohy’s NBA Broadcasting career, he was an analyst for the radio broadcast at Ole Miss as well as a broadcaster for Westwood One and CBS radio.

In addition to his demanding business, broadcasting, school and church schedules (he along with several others helped to create one of the fastest-growing evangelical churches in Memphis, the Grace Evangelical Church) Tuohy is heavily involved in numerous organizations that support kids.

Tuohy says, “It’s easy to beat up a kid. The hard thing is to build him up.”

That philosophy is what propelled the Tuohy family to bring Michael into their home, give him love and support, and eventually adopt him as their son.

The Tuohy’s life was chronicled in Michael Lewis’ New York Times bestseller, The Blind Side.

The book then went on to become a record breaking Hollywood Blockbuster movie that has earned more than $400 million at the box office.

The Blind Side has become the number one sports-themed movie in history surpassing Rocky!

The Tuohy family’s inspirational story has been covered over national media, including Katie, Fox and Friends, Good Morning America, 20/20, The Today Show, Dr. Drew, Sean Hannity, and Huckabee.

Years after The Blind Side has burst onto the scene, breaking box office records and inspiring individuals nationwide, Tuohy continues to make an impact.

In July 2010, he and his wife Leigh Anne released the New York Times bestseller, In a Heartbeat: Sharing the Power of Cheerful Giving.

They also established their charity, The Making it Happen Foundation which promotes awareness, provides help, and seeks to improve the standard of living for all the children fighting to survive in the invisible cracks in society.

Tuohy serves on numerous boards and never misses an opportunity to mentor and coach others up.

Through all of their projects Sean, and the entire Tuohy family, continue their mission to inspire hope, ignite generosity, and make it happen for the deserving but underserved youth in our society.

Sean Tuohy and his wife, Leigh Anne have a net worth of around $75million.

Their adoptive son, Michael, sued them in 2023 over allegations of profiting off him unwittingly to beef up the Tuohy net worth. More details on the suit below…

Michael Oher

Retired NFL star Michael Oher, whose supposed adoption out of grinding poverty by a wealthy, white family was immortalized in the 2009 movie “The Blind Side,” petitioned a Tennessee court Monday with allegations that a central element of the story was a lie concocted by the family to enrich itself at his expense.

The 14-page petition, filed in Shelby County, Tennessee, probate court, alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy, who took Oher into their home as a high school student, never adopted him.

Instead, less than three months after Oher turned 18 in 2004, the petition says, the couple tricked him into signing a document making them his conservators, which gave them legal authority to make business deals in his name.

The petition further alleges that the Tuohys used their power as conservators to strike a deal that paid them and their two birth children millions of dollars in royalties from an Oscar-winning film that earned more than $300 million, while Oher got nothing for a story “that would not have existed without him.”

In the years since, the Tuohys have continued calling the 37-year-old Oher their adopted son and have used that assertion to promote their foundation as well as Leigh Anne Tuohy’s work as an author and motivational speaker.

“The lie of Michael’s adoption is one upon which Co-Conservators Leigh Anne Tuohy and Sean Tuohy have enriched themselves at the expense of their Ward, the undersigned Michael Oher,” the legal filing says.

“Michael Oher discovered this lie to his chagrin and embarrassment in February of 2023, when he learned that the Conservatorship to which he consented on the basis that doing so would make him a member of the Tuohy family, in fact provided him no familial relationship with the Tuohys.”

Oher’s petition asks the court to end the Tuohys’ conservatorship and to issue an injunction barring them from using his name and likeness.

It also seeks a full accounting of the money the Tuohys earned using Oher’s name, and to have the couple pay him his fair share of profits, as well as unspecified compensatory and punitive damages.

“Since at least August of 2004, Conservators have allowed Michael, specifically, and the public, generally, to believe that Conservators adopted Michael and have used that untruth to gain financial advantages for themselves and the foundations which they own or which they exercise control,” the petition says.

“All monies made in said manner should in all conscience and equity be disgorged and paid over to the said ward, Michael Oher.”

The Tuohy Kids

Aside adopting Michael Oher, the Tuohys have two children, Collins and Sean Jnr.
