Marc`s parents divorced when he was still a child, and he lived with his mother and two siblings in his hometown until he was 13, when the family moved to Liverpool, New York. Marc became interested in hockey and started playing in the Mid State Youth Hockey League, and when he was 15 years old, played for the Syracuse Stars Junior Hockey Team. However, as he got older, Marc focused on football, and with the Liverpool High School team won the New York State Public High School Athletic Association title. Also, Marc started his boxing career the same year, and won four New York State titles. He wanted to become a professional boxer, however, his career was put to an end, after he broke his nose, and he switched to wrestling, and trained with Malenkos.
In 1991 he made his debut appearance in the Floridian Sun Coast Professional Wrestling promotion. S few months late Mero made an appearance on the World Championship Wrestling television shooting; he participated in a match that night, but lost to Doom. After several months as a jobber, he signed a contract with the WCW, thanks to the legendary Dusty Rhodes, and was given the nickname Johnny B. Badd.

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.
