Gavin Mcinnes is a Canadian entrepreneur, columnist, writer, actor, comedian and commentator. He is known to have strong views and opinions on some touchy topics like sexuality and feminism. His views and opinions have slowly seen him become more of a public enemy. Gavin is a highly controversial individual who describes himself as a “western chauvinist” and an ardent propagator of the rightwing ideology.
Mcinnes has also been referred to as a sexist, racist, anti-Semitic, and conservator by different factions of the American public. He is one of the few public supporters of President Donald Trump’s Muslim travel ban and has been considered the godfather of “hipsterdom”. He is utterly inclined to his beliefs and willing to go on an all-out social media assault on anyone who tries to challenge them.

Despite his flair for music, Gavin would go on to get two different degrees from two different Universities. He got his first degree in English Literature from Carleton University and his second degree in Business Administration from the Concordia University.
Vice
In 1994, Gavin Mcinnes together with Shane Smith and Suroosh Alvi founded Vice, a magazine, and website that prints articles on arts and culture. Although Vice was founded in Montreal, Canada, It is currently based in New York. The magazine later expanded into a record label and film production company holistically referred to as Vice Media. Gavin had to relocate from Canada to the US, New York precisely, to be able to make this expansion work. Unlike Shane and Suroosh, Gavin has contributed to some written content for Vice. He has authored articles and books like The VICE Guide to Happiness, with tips on how to live a happy life.

She is a member of the Ho-Chunk tribe of the Native Americans which comprises of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois. Mcinnes has been married to his wife since 2005, and they have three children together.
McInnes is publicly homophobic and transphobic. With that being said, it is safe to say that the chances of him being gay are very slim.

However, it is believed that if he had remained with Vice that he would have had a more boisterous net worth.
