Evel Knievel Net Worth $3 Million

Evel Knievel was the son of Robert and Ann Marie Keough Knievel, but his parents left him, so he was raised with younger brother by grandparents Ignatius and Emma Knievel. When he was only eight years old, Evel attended a Joie Chitwood Auto Daredevil Show, and from that time he knew what he want to be in life. He finished elementary school, and later attended high school, but he quit to find a job and help the family. Before he decided to become a motorcycle daredevil, Evel had numerous jobs in order to support his family, including being a professional hockey player for the Charlotte Checkers of the Eastern Hockey League, and he also founded Sur-Kill Guide Service, which provided hunting and fishing trips to people for a certain fee, however, this business fell apart, as he broke the la by, taking his customers into Yellowstone National park to hunt. Furthermore, he competed in ski-jumping and was also an insurance salesman, but quit that job after few months.

Kneivel moved to Moses Lake, Washington, and founded a Honda motorcycle dealership store, but it closed pretty soon, as it was hard to sell Japanese motorcycles in 1960s America. After that, Evel found a job at the Don Pomeroy’s motorcycle shop in Sunnyside, Washington, where he befriended Jim Pomeroy, who taught him to do a ‘wheelie’ and ride while standing on the seat of the bike.

From that, he started a career in motorcycle jumps and stunts. His first jump was a 40 feet distance over boxes of rattlesnakes and two mountain lions. In no time he became a celebrity in the Washington area, and was soon able to hire more stunt performers, and also found a sponsor in ZDS Motor Inc.

Evel’s first official stunt was performed at the National Date Festival in Indio, California on the 3rd January 1965. From that point on, his career went only upwards, until his retirement in 1977, when he had a terrible crash and couldn’t fully recover, so Evel decided to retire.

During his career, he completed over 70 spectacular stunts, which gained him the eternal nickname “American Daredevil”, and also an induction into the Motorcycle Hall Of Fame in 1999.

Some of his stunts included jumps over 16 cars, over Snake River Canyon, over 14 Greyhound buses, and numerous other jumps of distances over 100 feet. These shows became the main source of his net worth during those years.

However, some of his jumps were not as successful as others, which resulted in a record setting 433 broken bones over the course of his career, which earned him a Guinness Book of Records induction for the most broken bones.

Several years after his retirement, Evel signed a deal with composer Jeff Beck to create a rock opera about his life, which also added to his net worth, and to speak further of his life after retirement, Evel partnered with the Six Flags St. Louis which resulted in creation of roller coaster named after Evel.

Regarding his personal life, Evel Knievel was married twice. His first wife was Linda Joan Bork, with whom he had four children; the couple was married for 38 years until they divorced in 1997. Two years later, he married Krystal Kennedy. Although they divorced in 2001, she lived with him until his death. He died from Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis at the age of 69.

Jonathan spent his childhood in Bridgeton, and during a summer camp when he was 12 years old he discovered his interest in pottery. Since then, he hasn’t let go of his creativity when it comes to pottery and only developed further his talents. After finishing high school he enrolled at Brown University, but instead of taking classes at the university, devoted much of his time to making pottery items at the adjacent Rhode Island School of Design. Some of his efforts were inspired by Chanel including teapots, and urns inspired by Sevres, however, his teachers didn’t think much of his creations, advising him to put his dreams aside and study to become a lawyer instead, which of course he ignored.

So Jonathan continued to pursue his dreams, and in 1990 moved to New York City to become a teacher at Mud, Sweat ‘n’ Tears, and was granted a free studio space for his classes. After several creations were made, Jonathan began calling buyers from various outlets in New York including Barneys, and after receiving an order from the latter, Adler became a full-time professional production potter. This encouraged him to then found the Jonathan Adler Enterprises LLC, and five years later he opened his first store, located in SoHo, Manhattan. Since then, he has opened several other stores, and worked with over 1,000 other retailers.

Since the start of the 2000s, Jonathan has tried himself as an interior designer; back in 2004 he worked to redesign the Parker Palm Springs Hotel, Givenchy Spa property also in Palm Springs, and what was Merv Griffin’s Resort. In recent years he has worked on Abington House, then multiple apartment designs of Related Property, and in 2015 an overhaul of the rooms, hallways and outdoor areas at Eau Palm Beach, all of which have also increased his net worth.

Jonathan is now known for his television appearances too; back in 2007 and 2008 he was the judge on the Bravo’s show “Top Design”, further increasing his wealth.

Regarding his personal life, Jonathan is openly gay, and has been married to Simon Doonan since 2008. The two share an apartment in Greenwich Village, New York City, and they also have a house on Shelter Island.
