Khan grew up at Ormeley Lodge, along with her two siblings. She also has five paternal and three maternal half-siblings, as her parents were married to different people before she was born, but eventually married each other. She attended London’s Francis Holland School, and later enrolled at the University of Bristol to study English. However, she left school, although eventually obtaining her BA degree with upper second-class honors. She also attended the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London, graduating with an MA in Middle Eastern Studies.
In her early 20s, she married Pakistani cricketer Imran Khan, settling in Lahore, Pakistan. While her husband pursued a career in politics, becoming the leader of the Pakistani Movement for Justice party (PTI) and later a member of parliament, Jemima focused on starting a fashion business by setting up a fashion label, the profits from which went to her husband’s Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer hospital. However, due to an economic downturn, she closed the business in 2001. She later began writing articles for various newspapers, and earning a decent income.
In 1999, Khan was charged in Pakistan with illegally exporting hundreds of antique tiles of paramount archaeological interest. She denied the smuggling, stating that it was just a malicious campaign to damage her husband’s political career. Still, she was forced to leave Pakistan and stay in London. When it was later proved that the tiles were not antiques, the charges were dropped and Khan returned to the country.
However, in 2004 the couple divorced and Khan moved back to London. She began writing op-eds for various magazines, such as The Sunday Times, Observer, The Evening Standard and The Independent, including getting an exclusive interview with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in 2008 for the latter magazine. All contributed to her net worth.
She served as a columnist for Sunday Telegraph too, which added to her wealth, before in 2008 becoming a feature writer and a contributing editor for British Vogue magazine, holding the position until 2011. Her fortune grew larger. That year, she became the new European editor-at-large for Vanity Fair, while also serving as The Independent’s associate editor, further enhancing her wealth.
In 2011 she became as guest editor for the New Statesman’s issue on freedom of speech, receiving high praise for her contribution, and later that year the magazine hired her as an associate editor. Her net worth was boosted again.
Khan has also been involved in producing. She was trhe executive producer of the 2013 documentaries “We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks” and “Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars”, as well as of the 2016 “Unmanned: America’s Drone Wars & Making A Killing: Guns, Greed and the NRA”. She has also been a co-producer of the play “Drones, Baby, Drones”. In 2016 she founded the company called Instinct Productions, located in London. Khan’s involvement in the production business has been another source of her fortune.
Meanwhile, she became involved in fashion again, modeling the relaunched Azzaro Couture fragrance, and serving as a guest co-designer of a Spring 2009 collection for Azzaro.
In her personal life, Khan was married to Imran Khan from 1995 to 2004; they have two children together. Following her divorce, she began dating actor Hugh Grant, their relationship lasting until 2007. She later dated activist and actor Russell Brand, but sources believe that she is currently single.
Khan has been a devoted philanthropist, serving as an Ambassador for UNICEF UK. She has launched the Jemima Khan Afghan Refugee Appeal, providing help for Afghan refugees in Peshawar, and has visited Palestinian refugee camps in several countries in the Middle East. She has supported many charities through her Jemima Khan Foundation, and has also campaigned for a variety of social and political causes.

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.
