Trailer Park Boys Net Worth Under Review
It all began back in the late 1980s, when three high school friends, Mike Clattenburg, Robb Wells and John Paul Tremblay, all with quite a bizarre sense of humor, began filming themselves while undertaking crude practical jokes on random people. In 1995 the crew, enhanced by Mike Smith, officially filmed their first short comedy movie entitled “The Cart Boy”. This venture, which was well received by the audience, provided the basis for the net worth of what later became the Trailer Park Boys.
The comedy movie entitled “Trailer Park Boys”, with Clattenburg as its director and main writer and Smith, Tremblay and Wells as the main protagonists, was officially premiered at the Atlantic Film Festival in 1999, and was received warmly by the critics. Two years later in 2001, the “Trailer Park Boys” TV series was premiered on Showcase, featuring Tremblay as Julian, Wells as Ricky LaFleur and Smith as Bubbles in the roles of its primary characters. The show follows everyday lives primarily of this trio, and their daily struggles to acquire some money through their con schemes and petty crimes. The series quickly earned huge popularity with the TV audience, and so far has produced 11 seasons. It is certain that its popularity and long-term television tenure helped the Trailer Park Boys to add a significant sum to their net worth.
Apart from television, the franchise has also been enriched with several movies, including “Trailer Park Boys: The Movie” (2006), “Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day” (2009) and “Trailer Park Boys: Don’t Legalize It” (2014), as well as with several spin-off shows such as “Trailer Park Boys: Out of the Park” among plenty of others. Doubtlessly, all these accomplishments have made an impact on the crew’s net worth.
Mike Clattenburg was born in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada, and is a movie director and producer as well as a screenwriter. For his work on the Trailer Park Boys franchise, he was honored with the Gemini Award in 2004, in the category for The Best Comedy Program. His net worth, as of late 2017, is estimated at $12 million.
John Paul Tremblay was born in 1968 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and before dedicating to his acting career full time, he was involved in the food business, running his own chain of pizza restaurants. Apart from the Trailer Park Boys’ projects, he has also appeared in various other motion pictures including TV series “The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Fun Time Hour” as well as in “Archer”. The total of his current wealth is estimated at around the sum of $2 million.
Robb Wells was born in 1971 in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, and besides being an actor is also an entrepreneur who co-founded SwearNet, an uncensored comedy network and YouTube channel. Apart from all those already mentioned above, he has also starred in movies such as “The Boondock Saints: All Saints Day” (2009), “Hobo with a Shotgun” (2011) and “Jackhammer” (2013) to name a few. His total wealth is currently estimated to exceed the sum of $2.5 million.
Mike Smith was born in 1972 in Thorburn, Nova Scotia, Canada, and before diving into the acting world, earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in English language from St. Francis Xavier University. Besides being an actor, he is also a musician who performed alongside Guns N’ Roses on several occasions. It is estimated that the total of his wealth, as of late 2017, revolves around the sum of $2 million.

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.
