$500,000

Patricia Pauline Driscoll was born on 14 December 1977, in El Paso, Texas, USA, and is a businesswoman perhaps best known for being the former president of the non-profit organization Armed Forces Foundation, a position she held for 12 years before resigning due to an issue revolving around misappropriation of funds. The money she’s earned while in that position largely put her net worth where it is today.

As of early-2016, sources inform us of a net worth that is at $500,000, mostly acquired from her years in the Armed Forces Foundation and her current business Frontline Defense Systems, LLC. Aside from the surveillance system company, Patricia has also authored a few books which helped maintain her wealth.

Driscoll was made known to the public around 2015, when the ESPN show “Outside the Lines” in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Internal Revenue Service started investigating Patricia following rumors of misappropriation of funds, supposedly intended for the charitable institution but ended up elsewhere. Investigations began after a federal whistle-blower, a former employee of the Armed Forces Foundation, testified to the questionable practices of the former president. The investigation soon uncovered that the funds for the Armed Forces Foundation were instead used to pay for legal fees for a child custody case, credit card expenses, fees for Frontline Defense Systems, and even a vacation to Paris and Morocco. “Outside the Lines” uncovered evidence of the foundation being used as a bank multiple times to cover Patricia’s personal expenses and the high volume of evidence forced Driscoll’s resignation as president of the institution.

Prior to Driscoll’s case, she also made headlines during 2014 when she accused former boyfriend NASCAR driver Kurt Busch of domestic violence. She sought court weeks after the said event had transpired, but Busch counterclaimed and said that Patricia was just a former lover seeking revenge against him for ending the relationship. Witness statements showed that Driscoll had a tendency to make outlandish claims and statements. The court decided that no criminal charges would be levelled due to a lack of evidence.

For the other things that are associated with Patricia’s life, her personal company Frontline Defense Systems was said to have worked with Homeland Security in the past. She also has a few productions under her name like “That Which I Love Destroys Me”, a documentary that details how two elite soldiers struggled with PTSD, depicting how they try to integrate back into normal society. Driscoll has also authored two books, “Hidden Battles on Unseen Fronts, Stories of American Soldiers with Traumatic Brain Injury and PTSD” and “The Healing Heroes”. The first book details accounts of soldiers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, while the other is more of a children’s book for families of wounded servicemen.

For Driscoll’s personal life, she’s still mostly involved with the ongoing case. She’s had two former spouses, Gilbert Chiquito 111 from 1995 to 1999, and Geoff Hermanstorfer from 2001 to 2011, with whom she has a son.

Members of the cast did their best to secure Bonaduce from his abusive family environment, but his difficult childhood and early fame eventually took its toll. The show ended in 1974 and the young actor was left with enormous amounts of money, a great start to his net worth, but no emotional stability.

So how rich exactly is Robert Kirkman? Sources estimate his current net worth to be $20 million, most of his wealth being accumulated through his work as a comic book author, plus being one of the writers of the episodes of TV series “The Walking Dead” has also significantly raised his net worth.

Robert Kirkman Net Worth $20 Million

Robert Kirkman wrote his first successful comic book entitled “Battle Pope” in 2000 with the help of artist Tony Moore. It was a parody of the superhero genre mixed with Biblical symbolism and dark humor. Despite its controversial themes, the comic book ran successfully and in 2005 was reprinted by “Image Comics” in color and in 2008 “Battle Pope” became an animated series on “Spike” TV channel.

The second successful Kirkman’s project was a story about a superhero entitled “Invincible” which he created in 2003 with artist Cory Walker. In the same year he released another comic which raised Kirkman’s success and net worth to a whole new level. There were some problems when Kirkman tried to publish the first issues of “The Walking Dead” as zombies weren’t seen as something that audiences might enjoy. However, Robert managed to sell the first issue and the comic gained instant popularity. In 2010, “The Walking Dead” won the Eisner Award in the category of “Best Continuing series”. In the same year, the first episode of “The Walking Dead” apocalyptic horror TV series adaptation was released on AMC. Not surprisingly, Kirkman was chosen to work as one of the writers for the episodes of this show. In addition, as show gained increasing popularity, Kirkman has published three non-graphic novels of “The Walking Dead”, which were entitled “The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor” (in 2011), “The Walking Dead: The Road to Woodbury” (in 2012) and “The Walking Dead: The Fall of the Governor” (in 2013). Currently, Kirkman is one of the co-authors to the spin-off horror TV show “Fear The Walking Dead” which should be released in the summer of 2015.

In 2004, Kirkman started working for one of the biggest comic book publishing companies Marvel Comics, which also boosted Kirkman’s already impressive net worth. Kirkman is known for working on such popular comic book titles as “Avengers Disassembled”, “Jubilee”, “Fantastic Four”, “Ultimate X-Men”, “Marvel Team-Up” and “Irredeemable Ant-Man”. However, in 2008, Kirkman ended his associations with Marvel Comics and became one of the partners of Image Comics. Currently, Kirkman is working on a science fiction feature film entitled “AIR”, which is scheduled to be released in 2015 and will be the first film produced by Robert Kirkman.

In his personal life, Robert Kirkman is married and has two children, one of whom is named Peter Parker, after the famous superhero Spider-Man.
