Yaya grew up in his hometown with his older brother Kolo Toure, who is also a soccer player, and younger brother, Ibrahim. Yaya`s career began when he was only 13 years old, joining the ASEC Mimosas youth academy in 1996, and with the help of Jean-Marc Guillou, joined Beveren of the Belgium league in 2001. Two years later, Yaya was on a tryout at English club Arsenal, however, he didn`t sign with the club as he had problems obtaining a work permit, and also Wenger wasn`t quite satisfied with his performance. Instead, he signed a contract with the Ukrainian club Metalurh Donets, where stayed for a year and a half, before he became a player with the Greek side Olympiakos. However, he played in only 26 games before joining the French team Monaco, In the beginning, he didn`t get much playing time, but that changed once Laurent Banide became manager of the team, and Yaya was soon regarded as a key midfield player, and helped his team to avoid relegation that season.
His next stop was Spanish giant Barcelona; Blaugrana bought Yaya from Monaco for €10 million in 2007, and he played for the club until 2010. He scored four goals in 74 games, and won six trophies with Barcelona in a calendar year, including La Liga for 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 season, Copa del Rey 2008-2009, UEFA Champions League 2008-2009 and FIFA Club World Cup in 2009.
Following the arrival of Pep Guardiola on Barcelona`s bench, Yaya`s role in the club began to decline, and on the 2nd July 2010 he was sold to Manchester City, signing a contract worth £24 million over five years, which considerably increased his net worth. In the next few years, Toure would become one of the key players in Manchester City`s success, winning the Premier League in 2011-2012 and 2013-2014 seasons, also the FA Cup in 2010-2011 and FA Community Shield in 2012. However, Manchester City appointed Pep Guardiola as their manager, and Yaya was benched again, and so far hasn`t make an appearance in the league in the current season. To date he has played in 195 games for City, and has scored 57 goals.
Apart from his successful career as a club player, Yaya has also had a successful international career; he has made 100 appearances for the Ivory Coast, and led his side to African Cup of Nations trophy in 2015, plus finishing as runner-up in 2006 and 2012.
Regarding his personal life, Yaya is married to Ginaba. He is a Muslim, and practices his religion; so turned down all offers of celebratory alcohol. His brother, Ibrahim, died in 2014, losing the battle with cancer.
Yaya is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme.

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.
