Zoltan Bathory was raised in Szentendre, a town near Budapest, in Hungary. When he became devoted to a music career, he moved to Los Angeles, California, where he played bass guitar for the alternative band called U.P.O. However, he quit the following year, but stayed in music, and in 2005, he founded the heavy metal band Five Finger Death Punch, which is established in Las Vegas, Nevada. Their debut record was recorded the next year, with a little help from the guitarist and producer Logan Mader, and soon after they finished recording the album, the band signed a contract with talent management company The Firm, and their debut album entitled “The Way of the Fist” was released in 2007. The album immediately struck a chord with the public, as it was sold over 600,000 copies, and spawned three singles which reached the Top 10 of the Billboard charts. This certainly increased Bathory’s net worth, and encouraged him to continue to make music.
The band’s next release, a full length album entitled “War Is the Answer” came in 2009, after they signed with Prospect Park Records. Like the previous album, this one was successful as well, as it made its debut in 7th place on the Billboard chart, and furthermore it stayed in the Top 100 for a record 92 weeks. Although being a huge success, the album is not a hallmark of their career, as their third album – “American Capitalist” (2010) – became even more successful, as it debuted on 3rd place of the Billboard top 200 chart, and in addition it was certified gold in its first year of sales, increasing further Bathory’s net worth. Their next album was released in 2013; in fact, they released a double album “The Wrong Side Of, Heaven And The Righteous Side Of Hell, Volumes 1 and 2”. Thanks to their previous success, and an increase in popularity, the band made a few friends over the years, and managed to extend the friendships on professional field, as the album featured guest artists such as Rob Halford, Max Cavalera and Maria Brink, among others.
Bathory’s latest venture in the music industry is the sixth album of the band, entitled “Got Your Six” (2015), which has also added to his net worth, as it also debuted at number 2 on the billboard Top 200 chart. During his career, he has also earned several awards, including the “Best Shredder” given in 2010 by the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards.
In Zoltan Bathory’s private life, it is widely known that he is a martial artist. He is also a practitioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and judo, and is a member of the Gracie Humaita Competition Team. Additional to this, he has competed in a number of championships, such as the Abu-Dhabi Pro Jiu-Jitsu World Trials, where he won the silver medal, The North American Grappling Championship, and the 2012 Masters World Championship. Bathory is also one of the few civilians certified by the US Army as an L1 Modern Army Combatives Instructor – Close Quarter Combat. Since 2014, he has been active in truck racing championships, too. When it comes to his love life, nothing is known in media.

However, in the mid-60s he also got the job of a poverty lawyer and later continued as a lawyer for the Federal Trade Comission. After few years of hard work, Ben Stein decided to try himself in acting too, but before starting to get roles he became a Hollywood consultant.

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.
