Joe Cross worked as a trader on the Sydney Futures Exchange from the early ‘80s until 1998, and founded several companies in the technology space and derivatives trading in that span. From 1998 to 2003, Cross was involved with media, technology, telecommunications, and financial services for Queensland Press Ltd. He invested his capital into Jaymsea Investments Pty Ltd which has a diverse portfolio that includes: Thakoon, a leading US-based high-end fashion label, Citibabes, a club and education center for families with small children, and Willow, a high-end Australian-based fashion label.
Joe Cross went through the toughest period of his life in the mid- 2000s when he weighed 310 pounds (140 kilogrammes) and suffered from chronic urticarial, an autoimmune condition, so he was forced to take steroid prednisone for years. Starting from 2005, he spent several years unsuccessfully trying to solve his illness with traditional and non-traditional medicine. The fact that he was a smoker and regular alcohol consumer didn’t help at all, so he had to change his lifestyle entirely.
Doctors told Cross that he would die early if he continued with his current habits, so he decided to drink only juice for 60 days, and traveled across America in a truck with a cameraman, a generator, a sound guy, and a juicer. His mixture of 80% vegetables and 20% fruits including celery, apples, lemon, cucumber, kale, and ginger helped him make the Mean Green Juice, but Cross changed the ingredients from time to time to consume different vegetables and plants.
Almost miraculously, after drinking his juice for 60 days, Cross has lost 100 pounds, his cholesterol drastically dropped while the urticaria symptoms completely vanished. Cross filmed his endeavors through the US, and released the documentary called “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” in 2010, which follows his travels and interviews with people who have obesity issues. The sequel to the documentary came out in 2014, and followed the lives of individuals Cross met in the first part. Cross directed, wrote, and produced the first one, while he wrote and produced the sequel. Most recently, he served as an executive producer of the documentary called “The Kids Menu” in 2016, which reflects childhood obesity problems and the ways to solve them. The success of these documentaries has significantly increased Cross’ net worth.
Joe Cross founded Reboot with Joe, a lifestyle and health brand that gives support and information to people who are struggling with obesity. He also published seven books: “Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead” (2011), “Reboot with Joe Recipe Book (Plant-Based Recipes to Supercharge Your Life)” (2012), and “101 Juice Recipes” (2013), which sales only increased his net worth. He also wrote, “The Reboot with Joe Juice Diet: Lose Weight, Get Healthy and Feel Amazing” (2014), “Reboot with Joe Juice Diet Cookbook” (2014), and “101 Smoothies” (2014). His latest publication was “Reboot with Joe: Fully Charged” in 2015, which also added to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Joe Cross’s private details are relatively unknown as he successfully keeps them hidden from the public eyes.

In his writings Stein usually speaks about the economic situation and political issues, and even gives financial advices to individual investors. 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. Stein got his first comedy role and had to play a boring and monotonous economics teacher in the movie called Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, which was released in 1986.

Ben Stein was earning $5,000 per episode, but money that contestants won was subtracted from actor’s salary.

But maybe one of his most successful, but not so well-known activities is writing speeches for American presidents. Ben Stein was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.

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.
