Ralf Schumacher was raised with his older brother by his father, Rolf Schumacher, a bricklayer, and his mother, Elisabeth Schumacher; he is the brother of Michael Schumacher who was Formula One World Champion seven times. Under the influence of his parents and brother, Ralf began karting when he was only three years old on their own go-kart track in Kerpen.
Ralf’s first major success came in 1991, when he competed at the Gold Cup as well as the NRW Cup, which was followed by winning the 1992 German Junior Kart Championship. After that, he finished runner-up in the ADAC Junior Formula Championship, and soon moved to participate in the 1994 German Formula Three Championship, finishing third. During the next two years Ralf continued to line up successes, competing in the Macau Grand Prix, the Masters of Formula 3, and the Formula Nippon Series. In 1996, Ralf signed a contract with the Jordan team and won the Japanese Formula Nippon series, which earned him a Formula One drive in the next year, and marked the beginning of an increase of his net worth.
Thus, Ralf’s full-time professional racing career began in 1997, when he made his debut for the Jordan team in Formula One, finishing the championship in 11th place. He also competed in the FIA GT Championship, alongside Klaus Ludwin, finishing fifth. In the following year, he was sixth at the British Grand Prix, his best result. In 1999, Ralf signed a contract for the next two years with the Williams team, and in that season, he finished in third place in Australia, fourth in Brazil, after which he had an accident in Monaco, but his contract was extended to a three-year deal, which was worth $31 million, increasing further his fortune.
In the 2001 season came Ralf’s first F1 victory when he won the San Marino Grand Prix, and later that year the Canadian Grand Prix TOO, with brother Michael second. He also took second place in France and fourth in the European Grand Prix. The following season he started in Australia without any major success; however, he won in his next race in Malaysia, which was followed by second place in Brazil and third in San Marino; both of these seasons he finished in fourth place in the Drivers’ Championship. In 2003, Ralf won both the French and the European Grand Prix, adding a considerable amount to his net worth, and helping Williams to win the Constructor’s Championship. His 2004 season was marred by accidents and relatively minor injuries, so no wins and a 9th place finish in the championship
To speak further about his professional career, Ralf signed a contract in 2005 with the Toyota F1 team, competing for them until 2008. Moreover, he was chosen to serve in the position of the Chairman of the Grand Prix Drivers Association (GPDA) in 2006. During his stint with Toyota, the team reached fourth in the Constructors’ Championship, as he took points in the French, Monaco and British Grand Prix, among others, contributing further to his wealth, after which he retired from F1. He then competed in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters from 2008 until 2013, when he decided to retire.
Speaking about his personal life, Ralf Schumacher is currently single. He was previously married to Cora-Caroline Brinkmann (2001-2015), with whom he has a son named David, who is also a professional race car driver. In free time, Ralf enjoys playing tennis and cycling. He divides his time between residences in Saint Tropez, France and his hometown. He is also active in the Laureus Foundation as an Ambassador for the Laureus World Sports Awards.

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.
