According to Celebrity Net Worth, Joey’s fortune currently stands at $2 million. The site notes that the 37-year-old got started in competitive eating in 2005 as he matriculated at San Jose State. In one of his first events, he downed almost six and a half pounds of deep-fried asparagus in 11.5 minutes. 

At the 2005 Nathan’s Hot Dog-Eating Contest, Joey placed third in his debut outing at the competition. That same year, he reigned victorious at the Waffle House World Waffle Eating Championship.

The Major League Eating website lists some of Joey’s other accomplishments. He ate 390 shrimp wontons at the 2012 CP Biggest Eater Competition, 20 eight-once corned beef sandwiches at the 2012 TooJay’s World Class Corned Beef Eating Championship, a 9.35-pound turkey at the Foxwoods Turkey Eating Championship in 2014, 23 six-ounce meat pies at the 2016 Silver Slipper World Meat Pie Eating Championship, and 55 glazed donuts for Salvation Army National Donut Day in 2017.
