Taylor Armstrong Net Worth $800,000
Otherwise known as a sharp businesswoman, being the president and one of the founders of the management consulting firm “Elmplement, Inc.”, Taylor Armstrong has enjoyed a successful career despite an often times troubled personal life, earning Armstrong her impressive net worth.
Born on 10 June 1971 in the city of Independence, Kansas, Taylor Armstrong has changed her name several times on her road to success – first named Shana Taylor, Armstrong later changed her name to Taylor Ford. For a time, Armstrong worked with the multination American pharmaceutical corporation, “Pfizer”, where she was one of the corporation’s pharmaceutical representatives. Wealth and fame, however, would find Taylor under her current name, after she married the venture capitalist Russell Armstrong in 2005. A year later, the couple would have a daughter, Kennedy Caroline Armstrong, and for a time the Armstrong family life looked to be perfect – between Taylor Armstrong and her husband, they were able to sustain a luxurious lifestyle, spending lavishly. By 2010, their apparent success had already caught the eye of the wider public, and Taylor Armstrong appeared with her family in the next instalment in Bravo’s “The Real Housewives” reality television series, titled “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”.
Unfortunately, not everything was as it seemed. Over the course of the show’s first season, other members of the cast – which at the time included American television personality Camille Grammer, actress Kim Richards, and businesswoman and philanthropist Adrienne Maloof – began to notice that the Armstrongs were struggling financially as well as emotionally. With the truth out of the bag, Taylor Armstrong made public her husband’s tendency towards abusive behaviour, while Russell Armstrong himself was forced to reveal his desperate financial situation – the venture capitalist had already filed for bankruptcy back in 2005, and it seemed his fortunes had not improved since. There was to be no happy ending to the affair, as Russell Armstrong tragically took his own life in August 2011. Armstrong married attorney John Bluher in 2014, her daughter was adopted by Bluher.
Fortunately, Taylor Armstrong’s life and career seem to have taken a turn for the better since then. During her time on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills”, the reality television star was reputed to make $175,000 every season from her salary alone. If you’re wondering just how rich is Taylor Armstrong right now, Armstrong’s net worth is believed to reach up to $800,000. A large part of this is due to her career on reality television, but not entirely – Armstrong is also involved in several businesses, being the president of “Elmplement, Inc.” and the Chief Creative Director of the website BeautyTicket.com.
Today, Taylor Armstrong continues her career on reality television, appearing in the 2014 season of “Couples Therapy”. Armstrong is strongly involved with the 1736 Family Crisis Centre, a charitable foundation devoted to helping the victims of domestic abuse.

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.
