One of the surest ways to rise to quickly achieve fame in today’s world is to be controversial, but it takes being able to defend your stance to stay relevant as a controversial figure and that is precisely what Matt Walsh did. The very controversial writer who has made his mark as a commentator and podcaster has been very open and outspoken with his thoughts on gender and Trans issues which has kept him in the unpopular books.
Irrespective of his unpopular personality, the writer who is 6 ft 1 inch tall has had a successful run with his career. He earns as much as $100,000 in monthly salary and has amassed a net worth that is suspected to be between $5 to $7 million.
How Old is Matt Walsh?
Going by how much impact he has made and how unpopular his opinions are, one would wonder just how old Matt Walsh is, and true to form, he has been very open with the details. Matt Walsh was born to his parents while they resided in Montclair, New Jersey on the 18th day of June 1986 and this will make him 38 years old at present.
Bieng that he was born and bred in the United States, there is no gainsaying the fact that his nationality is American. By the controversial stance he has taken in life, Matt Walsh has done and said some things that amounted to him ruffling some feathers, especially with his opinions on race and the argument that if Anglo-Saxons died off, the country’s culture and identity would die with them.
Where Was Matt Walsh’s Education?
Going by how viral his opinions often go, one would think of Matt Walsh as a well-read authority which he is in certain ways. However, the writer did not attend college. This does not mean he is completely uneducated because he did attend high school even though per his admission in an interview, school was not for him. Apparently, Walsh had a miserable time in High school even though he was very intelligent. He ended up flunking and making up his mind that it was too much stress for his liking.
Much later after he had decided to forego college and find himself instead, he realized that he was good at writing and decided that this was what he would do with his life. He reasoned that rather than pile up debt through student loans trying to attend college, he would rather work on acquiring skills he could earn from. He also points out that one does not need to be within the four walls of a school to read and learn.

The book tells the story of a boy who loves dressing up as a walrus and using spoons as his tusks.

They also pressure his mother to take him to a doctor who will do the necessary surgeries to turn his physical features into a walrus.
Matt Walsh’s children’s book was lambasted by many prominent LGBTQ groups who dubbed it hate speech and urged stores to stop selling it. The likes of Target dropped it, but Amazon continued selling it and only re-categorized it. It was a best seller and sold 100,000 copies within three months of release.
