Michael Oher is an American football offensive tackle who has a net worth of $16 million. Oher's life story was portrayed in the Oscar Award-winning film "The Blind Side" starring Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. Quinton Aaron was the actor who played Michael Oher's role. Michael Oher was born in Memphis, Tennessee on May 28 in 1986. Oher was the son of Denise Oher (an alcoholic and crack cocaine addict) and Michael Jerome Williams (a father who spent a significant amount of time in prison). Because of his environment, he received little attention or discipline during his early years. During his first nine years of schooling, he went to eleven different schools, and rehearsed the first and second grade. He was placed in foster care at the age of seven, and alternated between different foster homes and periods of being homeless. The father of Oher's birth was a former cellmate of Denise's brother, and was killed in prison when Oher was in senior high school. A teenager named Michael Oher was finally taken into custody by Sean Tuohy and Leigh Anne Tuohy, when he was just 16 and the Tuohys became Oher's legal guardians when he turned 17. Oher was assigned an instructor who worked with him for 20 hours per week.
