Kate Spade Net Worth $200 Million
Kate was raised in her home town, and after finishing St. Teresa’s Academy, an all-girl Catholic high school, she enrolled at the University of Kansas. However, she transferred to Arizona State University from which she graduated in 1985 with a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism. Kate then worked in a motorcycle bar for a year, when she started working in the accessories and art department of Mademoiselle, the women’s fashion magazine, in Manhattan. She noticed that the fashion market lacked stylish handbags, and in 1991 she decided to resign her job and begin her fashion designer career which later brought her an impressive amount of money.
In 1993, Kate Spade alongside her future husband Andy Spade as a partner, founded her own fashion company – Kate Spade Handbags, initially focusing on the line of handbags. Business expanded rapidly, and soon Kate Spade New York was designing and producing clothing and jewelry, as well as shoes, cosmetics and stationery. In 1996, Kate Spade’s first boutique was opened, in Manhattan, and soon the company expanded to include several retail outlets, and to selling products through high-fashion store chains such as Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue. It is certain that these ventures were the main source of Kate Spade’s overall net worth.
Kate Spade sold her brand to Neiman Marcus Group in 1999, but remained active within it, and in 2004 Kate Spade at Home was launched, a home collection brand featuring wallpapers, bath items and bed linen. In the same year, Kate published three books, “Manners”, “Occasions” and “Style”, publically acknowledging her philosophy and personal style, and so adding to her net worth.
Kate Spade New York currently counts more than 140 retail shops in the USA, and over 175 shops all over the world, constantly increasing Kate’s net worth.
Throughout her vivid career as a designer, Kate Spade has won various awards for her classic designs, among which are Best Accessory Designer of the Year in 1998 from the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Giants of Design Award for Tastemaker, and Elle Decor International Design Award for Bedding.
Proven success in business lead the Spade family to invest in Plum TV, a small television network focused on broadcasting in the elite vacation resorts such as Martha’s Vineyard, Hamptons and Nantucket – to date there are no figures available regarding this investment.
When it comes to her personal life, Kate Spade has been married since 1995 to Andy Spade, an architect and her college classmate. Apart from being Kate’s partner in her fashion business, Andy is also a brother of actor and comedian David Spade.
There were some rumors about a possible divorce between Kate and Andy, but the couple denied those stories, and in 2005 they welcomed their first child, a daughter.

They were successful and took-on employees John Hegarty and Heremy Sinclair, but true success came to Charles later. In 1970 Charles Saatchi started his business together with brother Maurice: they established “Saatchi & Saatchi” agency which had become the largest advertising agency in the world by the mid-80’s with just a huge number of high-profile clients like UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and British Airways. However, Charles and Maurice left the agency and together founded another one called “M&C Saatchi”. They took many of their important clients with them, and one of these was British Airways. Nowadays, thanks to his prosperous business, Charles Saatchi has a net worth of $100 million dollars.
To the rest of the world Saatchi is also known as one of the most famous modern art collectors. He purchased his first art work in 1969 – by Sol LeWitt, a minimalist from New York. His passion for paintings only grew, and in 2009 he even published the book “My Name Is Charles Saatchi And I Am An Artoholic” wherein the author answered many questions and even gave some advice about collectibles. But the book didn’t become as popular as Saatchi expected, so the author asked his personal assistant to buy a huge number of books to help his work hit some positions in bestseller charts. Later in 2009 Saatchi appeared on the BBC program “School of Saatchi” and gave many young artists a perfect opportunity to show their talent and showcase artworks: some artists even painted portraits of Saatchi himself. In July 2010 Charles Saatchi donated his Saatchi Gallery to the British public together with 200 works of art.
Saatchi’s personal life has never been very public, but he married his first wife in 1973. He had met Doris Lockhart Dibley in 1965 while working for “Benton & Bowes”. The couple lived together for the six years before marrying, but divorced in 1990. Saatchi’s second wife was Kay Hartenstein to whom he was married from 1990-2001, and they even had a daughter together. Then Saatchi married for the third time in 2003, to English journalist, food writer, gourmet and television personality Nigella Lawson, but after public disagreements, were divorced 2013.

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.
