Robert J. Ulrich, a renowned Casting Director, Casting Department, and Producer, is expected to have a net worth ranging between $100K to $1M in the year 2024. Born in 1944, Ulrich has made significant contributions to the entertainment industry, leveraging his talent in casting and production. With a successful career spanning several decades, he has garnered both critical acclaim and financial success. His precise net worth remains speculative, but it is certain that Ulrich's wealth reflects his influential position in the industry and his dedication to his craft.
Ulrich was born in 1944, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the son of a 3M executive. He graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1967, and moved quickly into the Retailing Business. He began his career with Dayton Hudson Corporation (which would become Target Corporation in 2000). Until 1981, Ulrich held a series of positions overseeing merchandising for Dayton Hudson, including overseeing merchandising for Dayton's Department Stores. In 1981, he moved to overseeing the operations of Dayton's subsidiary, Diamond's Department Stores. He currently resides in the Twin Cities Metro Area.
In 1984, Ulrich became President of the Target Stores group within Dayton Hudson, and he began leading significant growth for the division. In 1987, he was promoted to chairman and chief executive officer of the Target Stores group. By 1992, the number of Target Stores had doubled during Ulrich's tenure, to just over 500, with just shy of fifty more opening each year.
In 1994, Kenneth Macke retired as chairman and chief executive of Target's parent company, Dayton Hudson Corporation, and Ulrich succeeded him in the position. Dayton Hudson had grown to encompass several store chains, including Dayton's, Hudson's, Mervyn's, and Marshall Field's, in addition to Target.
Over time, Target began to far eclipse the success of the other Dayton Hudson stores, and on January 13, 2000, Dayton Hudson took the name Target Corporation. Ulrich sold the other store groups, including Mervyn's and Marshall Field's, and focused on promoting the Target brand.
