Early life
The incarcerated drug baron was born on the 30th of November, 1950, in Jackson, Mississippi, USA. Larry Hoover's age is 70 years. He had four siblings. Besides, his parents relocated the family to Chicago when The King was around four years old.
Unfortunately, the new environment influenced Larry, and by the age of 12, he was already part of a gang known as the Supreme Gangsters. The group started with petty crimes such as stealing and mugging but later evolved into big-time criminals.
A career in crime
Larry Hoover's Supreme Gangster experience increased, and he led the group after the demise of the previous leader, Alex Rain. But, was Larry Hoover a black P stone? Yes. He formed a gang alliance with the Black P Stones gang in 1969, but it was a short-lived merger.

By June 1969, the drug lord executed a successful merger with another gang known as Black Disciple Nation under the leadership of David Barksdale. While David was the king of the gang, Larry became the Chairman and second in command.
The Chairman orchestrated several illegal activities ranging from robbery and murder to assault and drug distributions. However, he seemed content with the life of crime and the repercussions as he was in and out of jail several times.
So, Why did Larry Hoover get so much time? The Honourable Chairman got into big trouble after he ordered the execution of William 'Pooky' Young on the 26th of February, 1973. He and the executioner, Andrew Howard, were arrested and charged to court. They got 150 to 200 years of jail time.
Larry Hoover's case
The Chairman was to serve his prison term at Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill, Illinois, but he continued controlling gang activities outside the prison wall.
Larry Hoover was a massive influence in the prison system and was respected by inmates and wardens alike. However, he renounced his gang activities and involvement after a while, claiming that Gangster Disciples had been reformed and renamed Growth and development.
Who are the 3 kings of GD? The criminal association has been under the leadership of three kings at different times: King David Barksdale (deceased), King Larry Hoover, and King Jerome 'Shorty' Freeman. Is Big Meech Larry Hoover? No, they are not the same person, although both are popular for choosing a criminal career.
The federal prosecutors argued that the Gangster Disciples' reformation was a ploy by the honourable to gain cheap clemency. The government stood on the ground that Larry Hoover had not turned a new leaf and continued to orchestrate illegal activities across the United States. However, by 1997, the prosecutors proved The King's continuous crimes. Larry Hoover's charges bordered along leading an unlawful drug business that was worth millions of US dollars.
Larry Hoover's sentence continued, and the judge added new ones. Finally, however, he was moved to the United States Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, to serve the rest of his terms.
Larry Hoover's release date
It is convenient to assume that the Chairman may never get a chance to see and experience the technology available in the new world. He has only served about 38 years out of over the six life sentences that he currently serves.
Several popular individuals and groups believe that he should be released. Some have gone to the extent of labelling him a political prisoner while claiming that he is also a victim of racial discrimination. Larry has been denied parole a couple of times.
Personal life
Prince Larry has been in various relationships; however, the most popular female character is his long time girlfriend, Winndye Jenkins. The duo had been together before his incarceration in 1973, but she continues to stand by him.

The Chairman has four known children: Samaya, Larry Jr., Tyree, and Bernard.
Larry Hoover's net worth
According to Idol Net Worth, the Honourable Chairman has a financial fortune estimated at $100 million. The sources of his wealth are not legal. His status in the league of criminals ranks top, and he has garnered several financial muscles from his life of drug and racketeering.
Several criminal activities characterise Larry Hoover's life. Yet, while he serves his six life sentences, no one can tell what will become of him eventually.
