Life before Fame
When it comes to speak about his early life, parents and education, there is no available information about that in the media. It is only known that he spent some time pursuing a career in the business industry as a real estate developer, which helped him to increase his net worth.
Thomas had already been married and divorced before he met Karen, from which he has a son, who was 18 years old at the time when he married Karen.
Popularity through Marriage
Thomas James Burris’ achieved a type of fame – some would say eventually notoriety – through his marriage to Karen Carpenter. The two met at a dinner in Ma Maison restaurant in 1980, started dating. and the same year tied the knot at their wedding ceremony on the 31st August of 1980, in the Crystal Room of the Beverly Hills Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California.
Karen’s Death
Subsequently, it turned out that the marriage was a huge mistake for Karen, as they couldn’t have children – she didn’t know that her (future) husband Thomas wasn’t able to provide her with children as he had undergone a vasectomy, until finding out just days before the two married. She was very affected and shocked because she desparately wanted to become a mother. At the same time, he was apparently very cruel to her, calling her a “bag of bones”. So, it did not last long until she decided to file for divorce. All of these problems in their relationship led Karen to death, as she started suffering from anorexia, an eating disorder which caused a lot of complications in her body, including eventually heart failure. She did not manage to recover, and passed away on the 4th February of 1983, in Downey, California, at the time when they were finalizing the divorce.

We can assume that he shared the net worth of his wife during their brief marriage, due to the fact that his luxurious way of life caused a huge financial loss to Karen, as he spent almost the whole amount of her money to the point that she had only a few stocks left. However, before her death Karen changed her will to leave everything she owned to her family, so he didn’t inherit anything.
