Washington attended the Kansas City Royals Baseball Academy from 1970, being one of only three students who graduated to the major league. He went on to spend the next ten seasons in the minor leagues with the Royals’, Mets’ and Dodgers’ organizations, which contributed to starting his net worth. He briefly played in the major league with the Dodgers in 1977.
In 1981 he returned to the majors, signing with the Minnesota Twins and remaining with the team for six seasons, earning significant wealth. He played the season 1987 with the Baltimore Orioles, and season 1988 with the Cleveland Indians, further increasing his fortune. After spending season 1989 with the Houston Astros, he retired from professional baseball.
However, his involvement in the sport did not end here. He was soon hired by the New York Mets organization as a coach, where he would spend the next five years, expanding his net worth. In 1996 Washington became the first base coach for the Oakland Athletics, and the following year the team’s infield and third base coach, holding the position until 2006, further improving his wealth.
In 2006 he was hired by the Texas Rangers as their manager, becoming just the second manager in the Rangers’ history to lead the team to the post-season, in 2010, and the first to win a playoff series, when the Rangers defeated the Tampa Bay Rays in the 2010 American League Championship Series. They went on to win over the New York Yankees in the ALCS, which enabled them to reach their first World Series, eventually being defeated by the San Francisco Giants. This made Washington the third African-American to manage a team into a World Series. In late 2010 the Rangers signed him to a two-year contract extension, considerably increasing his net worth status, and the following year he led the team to defeat the Detroit Tigers in the ALCS, reaching their second World Series, but being defeated by the St. Louis Cardinals. The team signed Washington to another contract extension in 2012, making his net worth larger again, and he went on to manage the American League in the MLB All-Star Game that year.
In 2014 he managed a team of MLB All-Stars playing against All-Stars of Nippon Professional Baseball in the 2014 Major League Baseball Japan All-Star Series in Japan. Later that year he resigned from his managerial position, having established a record of 664–611 (.521).
The following year Washington became an infield coach for the Oakland Athletics, and then their third base coach few months later. All added to his wealth. As of 2017, he has served as third base coach for the Atlanta Braves.
Speaking about his private life, Washington has been married to Gerry Washington since 1972.
He has been no stranger to controversies; in 2009, he made headlines when he tested positive for cocaine, for which he later apologized, stating that this was a one-time transgression. Then, when he resigned from his position as Rangers’ manager in 2014, it was reported that his resignation might be related to allegations of sexual assault against a reporter. Washington then admitted to having an extramarital affair, and that his reconciliation with his family was the actual reason of the resignation.

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.
