Jonah White Net Worth $50 million
Jonah was raised in quite a wealthy family of rebellious activists, whose romance began when they were both imprisoned for protesting against nuclear testing. According to some sources, in his early childhood Jonah and his parents lacked even basic necessities such as food and clothing, barely making ends meet. Jonah attended Missouri State University – where he also excelled at American Football – and from which he graduated majoring in biology. Despite skills and talents, a professional NFL career never happened and he was forced to figure out what to do with his life. After spending almost an entire year living in a cave, bonding with nature and clearing his mind, Jonah returned to civilization.
During one visit to his former college in the fall of 1993, Jonah attended an American Football game when it finally clicked – he was sitting in the crowd, surrounded by 15,000 people watching a hillbilly mascot, with the ugliest teeth ever seen, and how with the confidence of a rock star flirts with the audience, when the idea was born – the idea for fake novelty teeth! After the game, he eventually met Rich Bailey, a dental student wearing the hillbilly’s costume, and the rest is history – Billy Bob Teeth Inc. was founded. Jonah faked an appearance of being a dental student at the Southern Illinois University’s School of Dental Medicine where he, alongside his new friend and business partner Rich Bailey, began to make a prototype of what later became their trademark product, sold in over 150 countries all over the world. This venture provided the basis for Jonah White’s current net worth.
In the course of the next several years under the guidance of Jonah White, Billy Bob Teeth Inc. has become one of the leading novelty and gag gift manufacturers in the world, enriching its range of products with over 300 other items such as Russian-Roulette Revolver, fake tongues, noses and moustaches, stunt glasses and numerous other novelties which are nowadays sold through retail chains in all corners of the world. Rich Bailey left the company in 1999, in order to pursue his dental practice career full time, which made Jonah White the most successful businessman in the world of fake novelties, whose net worth currently revolves around the sum of $50 million.
Apart from those already mentioned above, Jonah White has also starred in the 2014 TV series “Billy Bob’s Gags to Riches”, and in one episode of the “Wake Up Call” TV series in 2015. He has also published one book – “The Billy-Bob Secret To Life” – which has no doubt added to his net worth.
When it comes to his personal life, Jonah White has been married to Renee, who he met while touring Australia in 1996, seeking for business deals, and with whom he has welcomed four children. Currently, with his family, Jonah resides on his 1,400 acre ranch, surrounded by nature and keeping 200 exotic animals, including black bears and zebras.

Charles Saatchi Net Worth $100 Million
They were successful and took-on employees John Hegarty and Heremy Sinclair, but true success came to Charles later. In 1970 Charles Saatchi started his business together with brother Maurice: they established “Saatchi & Saatchi” agency which had become the largest advertising agency in the world by the mid-80’s with just a huge number of high-profile clients like UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and British Airways. However, Charles and Maurice left the agency and together founded another one called “M&C Saatchi”. They took many of their important clients with them, and one of these was British Airways. Nowadays, thanks to his prosperous business, Charles Saatchi has a net worth of $100 million dollars.
To the rest of the world Saatchi is also known as one of the most famous modern art collectors. He purchased his first art work in 1969 – by Sol LeWitt, a minimalist from New York. His passion for paintings only grew, and in 2009 he even published the book “My Name Is Charles Saatchi And I Am An Artoholic” wherein the author answered many questions and even gave some advice about collectibles. But the book didn’t become as popular as Saatchi expected, so the author asked his personal assistant to buy a huge number of books to help his work hit some positions in bestseller charts. Later in 2009 Saatchi appeared on the BBC program “School of Saatchi” and gave many young artists a perfect opportunity to show their talent and showcase artworks: some artists even painted portraits of Saatchi himself. In July 2010 Charles Saatchi donated his Saatchi Gallery to the British public together with 200 works of art.
Saatchi’s personal life has never been very public, but he married his first wife in 1973. He had met Doris Lockhart Dibley in 1965 while working for “Benton & Bowes”. The couple lived together for the six years before marrying, but divorced in 1990. Saatchi’s second wife was Kay Hartenstein to whom he was married from 1990-2001, and they even had a daughter together. Then Saatchi married for the third time in 2003, to English journalist, food writer, gourmet and television personality Nigella Lawson, but after public disagreements, were divorced 2013.

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.
