Andy Hertzfeld spent his childhood in his hometown, Philadelphia, and later he moved to Providence, Rhode Island, where he attended Brown University, from which he graduated with a Computer Science degree in 1975. Then, Andy moved to California, where he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley.
In no time, Andy’s professional career began in 1978 when he bought his first computer – an Apple II – and subsequently started to develop his own software for it. Soon after, he was employed by the original Apple Computer company in 1979 as a programmer, and designer of the Macintosh system software; afterwards he developed the Apple SilenType printer firmware for the Sup’R’Terminal. He stayed with the company until 1984, working as a primary software architect, which largely increased the overall size of his net worth, as he developed the User Interface Toolbox, the ROM code, the Control Panel and Scrapbook. Thus, he became known as a “Software Wizard”; however, he left Apple and started a career on his own, founding several companies which have also added to his net worth.
In 1986 Andy started his first company named Radius, together with Burrell Smith, Alain Rossmann and other members of the original Mac team. The company was focused on making peripherals and accessory equipment for Macintosh. Four years later he founded his second company -General Magic – alongside Bill Atkinson and Marc Porat; the company was based in California, and it developed a new kind of communications device called a “personal intelligent communicator”. Furthermore, in 1999 Andy established Eazel, a software company based in Mountain View, California. All of these companies contributed a lot to the overall size of Andy’s net worth.
In 2005, Andy joined Google, and ever since then has been an essential part of the Google+ platform. A year before he joined the Google, he launched the website folklore.org, which contained funny stories from his time at Apple, all of which were collected and published in the book entitled “Revolution In The Valley” (2004).
When it comes to speak about his personal life, little is known in the media about Andy Hertzfeld, except the fact that he has been married to Joyce McClure since 1998. Beside that, he is also known as a volunteer, who worked for the Open Source Applications Foundation in 2002 and 2003.

In his writings Stein usually speaks about the economic situation and political issues, and even gives financial advices to individual investors. However, in the mid-60s he also got the job of a poverty lawyer and later continued as a lawyer for the Federal Trade Comission. After few years of hard work, Ben Stein decided to try himself in acting too, but before starting to get roles he became a Hollywood consultant. Stein got his first comedy role and had to play a boring and monotonous economics teacher in the movie called Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which was released in 1986.

Ben Stein was earning $5,000 per episode, but money that contestants won was subtracted from actor’s salary. However, these earnings are just nothing if we compare them with Stein’s net worth, which reached $20 million in 2012.
Ben Stein is well known thanks to his ability to harmonize all his activities and show himself as a talented person in every job he does. But maybe one of his most successful, but not so well-known activities is writing speeches for American presidents. Ben Stein was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

Mikey Teutul Net Worth
Michael Joseph was born 26 November 1978, in Montgomery, New York State USA, and widely known as Mikey Teutul, is a reality television personality, the youngest son of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, Sr. Mikey began his working life at 14, in the family business.
So just how rich is Mikey Teutul, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Mikey has a net worth of over $3 million dollars, largely earned by working at his father’s and older brother Paul Jr,’s company Orange County Choppers (OCC), and Orange County Iron Works, and through his TV appearances.
Mikey Teutul Net Worth $3 Million
Little is known of Mikey’s early life or education – it seems to have always revolved around the family business. Helping out his family in his teens, theoretically he worked as Assistant General Manager. but his main duties were to answer ‘phones, and clear-up and take out the trash. He was on rare occasions given the chance to build bikes, until he was competent to build his own. He also attended events for promoting OCC.
In 2002, the family was invited to take part in a reality show, Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper”, and subsequently “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”, in the course of which the youngest son was thrown out of the business – the middle son is Daniel, and younger sister Cristin. The reason for Mikey’s exclusion was that Mikey tried to be a mediator between his father and his brother, but his father seemed to be offended that his younger son did not take his side, and so threw him out of the business. During the filming of the show, Mikey was somethoing of a comedy relief to his father’s workers, and that comedy streak helped gain him popularity in TV shows. Mikey then joined his brother’s post-OCC venture, -Paul Jr Designs – along with most of their father’s employees; obviously the work atmosphere with Paul Teutul, Sr. was not a particularly happy one. Mikey’s eldest brother Paul Jr. was the former chief fabricator of OCC.
So actually the main source of Mikey Teutul’s wealth is not his father’s business, but the shows he eventually took part in. These have included ‘The Late Show with David Letterman”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, and also “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. The shows became very popular and Mikey’s appearances earned him a significant amount of money. To say the least, the family drama did not go without consequences – according to rumours, Mikey Teutul was suffering from an addiction problem, and consequently admitted himself to rehab, and managed to overcome the bad habits which were apparently hindering his progress in life, obviously including business.
In his life away from the businesses already referred to and the limelight of TV, Michael loves to paint, and is apparently respected for his productions, as he opened “The Wolfgang Gallery” gallery in Montgomery, New York, where he has sold or auctioned his paintings, adding somewhat to is net worth, although rumours suggest that the gallery may now be closed. Most recently, Mikey is now trying to enter the market under the moniker LLC FarQueue Products with his line of gourmet pasta sauces. Good luck, Mikey!
In his less-than-private personal life, Mikey is apparently still single – there aren’t even any rumours of romantic liaisons.
