Byron spent his childhood days in Inglewood, California, and attended Morningside High School where he fell in love with basketball, and ever since has hardly dropped the ball from his hands. After he matriculated from high school, Byron enrolled at Arizona State University, but quit in his third year of college and declared for the 1983 NBA Draft, which marked the beginning of his professional career.
He was selected as the 10th overall pick by the San Diego Clippers, however, he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers, signing a rookie contract which certainly increased his net worth. He played for the Lakers until 1993, and won three NBA Championships, being one of the best Lakers on court alongside Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In his first season as a Laker, Byron averaged 10.6 points in 74 games, which earned him selection into the NBA All-Rookie First Team. However, since then his numbers increased, and in the following season, he averaged 16.0 points, which greatly helped the Lakers win the title.
He continued successfully, becoming the Lakers` starting shooting guard, and leading them to two more titles in 1987 and 1988, averaging 17.0 and 21.7 points per game in those seasons.
After the Lakers, he joined the Indiana Pacers, but his game numbers were never the same, and he only stayed for two years before joining the Vancouver Grizzlies for one season. After that, he returned to the Lakers, and played in 79 games alongside Shaquille O` Neal and the young Kobe Bryant.
Byron then left for Europe, and played one season for Panathinaikos, winning the Greek Basketball League with the team. Following his contract expiration, he decided to quit playing, however, still stayed in the sport as a coach.
Scott’s first engagement was as the assistant coach for the Sacramento Kings in 1998, but two years later he was appointed as the head coach of the New Jersey Nets, and served in that position until the mid- 2003-2004 season, when he was fired after series of por results. However, during this stint, he led the Nets to two NBA Finals, but lost to the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers.
Scott’s net worth increased further after he was appointed as the head coach of the New Orleans Hornets, and led them to two post seasons, but lost in Conference finals, one year against the San Antonio Spurs, and the second year against the Denver Nuggets.
The following season he was fired, and then worked briefly as an analyst for the show NBA on ESPN.
Afterwards, he became the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, which also added to his net worth, and stayed in that position until the end of 2012-2013 season. He didn`t have much success, but after that joined the Lakers, again, this time as a coach, given the chance to coach the legendary Kobe Bryant, with whom he had played one season back in the 1990s, but after two unsuccessful seasons, Byron was released by the Lakers.
Regarding his personal life, Scott was married to Anita from 1985 until March 2014; the couple has three children.
Byron is also recognized for his philanthropic activities; he has started a non-profit organization The Byron Scott Children’s Fund, which raises money for numerous children’s charities, and so far has collected more than $15 million.

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.

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.
