Richard Rawlings Net Worth $20 Million
Raised in Fort Worth, the boy was into racing and constructing cars at an early age. His dad was a big influence on this hobby, which later evolved into a successful career. Being only 14 years old, he bought his first car which was a Mercury Comet 1974, and was soon into buying and selling cars, which was a rather profitable business for a youngster. After matriculating from high school, Richard continued his car business as well as starting to construct cars. However, to support himself he had to do various other jobs, as a police officer, firefighter and paramedic among others. Later, he founded the advertising and printing company called Lincoln Press, which increased his wealth, and gave him the possibility to continue his car building career.
Rawlings subsequently sold his printing/advertising company in order to launch Gas Monkey Garage; the company creates cars for clients all over the world, with these unique cars transported to the customers, as well. The reality show “Fast N’ Loud” (2012 – present) is focused on the work in this garage, with the main stars of the show being Richard Rawlings and Aaron Kaufman; they look for broken down, shabby cars to buy, restore and sell. The show was triumphant from the first season, and continues being broadcast to the present with high ratings, and as a result of this, the spin-off show entitled “Misfit Garage” (2014 – present) has also been started. Rawling’s net worth continues to rise.
In 2013, the Gas Monkey Bar N’ Grill was opened, a live music bar and restaurant located on Technology Boulevard East Dallas, Texas, USA. This bar and restaurant has also added significantly to Richard’s net worth. A year later Gas Monkey Live was launched, too.
Additionally, Richard is a racer in transcontinental road rallies, and is the winner of the Bullrun and Gumball 3000. Rawlings set the record in the Cannonball Run in 2007, and up to date nobody has been able to break it: he managed to drive the 2,811 miles from New York to Los Angeles at an average speed of 87.6 miles per hour – in 31 hours and 59 minutes.
In his personal life, Richard Rawlings states that he is single. Not much information about his private life is revealed, and he doesn’t give that much away in his autobiography – “Fast N’ Loud: Blood, Sweat and Beers” – published in 2015.

Jeff Beitzel Net Worth $3 million
Jeff attended Lehigh University, and would graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering. After his studies, he started working at the Ford Motor Company, and after gaining a lot of experience, he began establishing his own automotive businesses, which included Quantum Fuel Systems Technology; the company focuses on fuel storage, fuel efficiency, and natural forms of fuel. Beitzel eventually rose up to become the COO of the company in 2005. Other groups he worked for include Tecstar Automotive Group (formerly Starcraft Corp.) and Powertrain Integration. He served as the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Tecstar and was the president of Tecstar subsidiaries, as well as the President of Powertrain Integration. Quantum Fuel Systems eventually merged with Tecstar, but Powertrain Integration on the other hand focuses on powertrain solutions including highway systems, alternative fuels, and other services. Thanks to all of these endeavors, his net worth continued to increase.
Jeff eventually became engaged to reality television star and businesswoman Gretchen Rossi. Since then, he started appearing in the hit reality TV show “The Real Housewives of Orange County”, which helped somewhat in increasing his net worth further. The show started in 2006 airing on Bravo TV, its premise being to show the professional and personal lives of several women residing in Orange County. Rossi started appearing in the show during the fourth season, and Jeff started getting featured on the show when they became engaged. The show also featured his battle with leukemia.
For his personal life, it is known that Jeff was married five times before becoming engaged to Rossi; he passed away in 2008 from leukemia. After his death, his ex-wife and three children started challenging Rossi in the press, claiming the Beitzel never really intended to marry her. The issue was also brought out because it was reported that Jeff left Gretchen several million dollars in his estate. Despite this, Rossi has shrugged off most of the statements against her and even dedicated a social media post to Jeff during the anniversary of his death. She’s also reported to have spent time with his kids, even amidst rumors of infidelity during their relationship. One of Jeff’s children has commented that all the publicity didn’t really matter, because in the end his father loved Rossi.

Gautam Adani Net Worth
Gautam Shantilal Adani was born on the 24th June 1962, in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India and is a businessman, widely known as a founder and the chairman of the multinational conglomerate Adani Group. Adani has been active in the business of coal mining and gas distribution since 1988.
How much is the net worth of Gautam Adani? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $8.8 billion, as of the data presented in the middle of 2017. Adani Group is the main source of Adani’s fortune.
Gautam Adani Net Worth $8.8 Billion
To begin with, the boy with his seven siblings, was raised in Ahmedabad by his parents Shanta and Shantilal Adani. He was educated at the Sheth Chimanlal Nagindas Vidyalaya school, then entered Gujarat University to study commerce, yet he dropped out.
Currently, the billionaire Gautam Adani owns the largest brand of oil in India. The company was founded in 1988, with Gautam the founder and current president. He said he created his Group with a vision of Nation Building, that is to say by developing assets that he believes are important economic issues for the country. The Adani Group has grown rapidly by diversifying into import – export – it opened its own port in Mundra, to better control its trading operations. Construction began in 1995 and in 1998 it became one of the major sources of foreign exchange for India.
The following year, the company embarked on financial and energy speculation with coal trading, and soon created a joint venture (Adani Willmar) in the field of petroleum products trading in 2000. A second phase began for the group with the creation of large infrastructures. The company created a portfolio of ports, power stations, mines and a fleet of ships and railway lines in and out of India. In 2006, the company became the largest importer of coal in India – 11 million tons. Adani sought to be less dependent on the coal market, so he started to buy and control coal mines. Thus, he bought the Australian group Linc Energy, in order to supply the group’s coal-fired power stations. In 2008, he bought the Bunyu mine in Indonesia , with 180 million tons of coal reserves, and the following year, Adani Group became an energy company, producing 330 MW of thermal energy. In 2011, the group also decided to buy the exploitation rights of a large part of the Galilee coal basin in Australia. To prepare for the import of Australian coal, he ordered a large-capacity coal terminal at Mundra (the largest in the world) and in the same year he bought the Australian port of Abbot Point. This project is yet to come to fruition.
In 2012, the Group began a 3rd phase of development as integration infrastructure, renewing its logo and developing a new identity. The company focuses on three areas: resources, logistics and energy. Subsequently, under the direction of Gautam Adani, the Adani Group became a multinational conglomerate active in the production of electricity – especially through coal – and port terminals, logistics and agribusiness. It is India’s largest developer and port operator. The Group is the major source of Gautam Adani’s net worth.
Finally, in the personal life of Gautam, he is married to Priti and they have two children.

I wish Richard nothing but the best. Just being a former fireman says a lot about the type of person he really is. He put in the endless work and time required to make it this far. People who become wealthy always seem to have the energy and drive to put in 12- 14 hour days 6 and 7 days a week. I wish him luck with the bar and grill. I have heard the restaurant business is one of the riskiest ventures you can invest in.
