Yossi Dina Net Worth $10 Million
Yossi Dina was born and raised in Israel on a “kibbutz” – a collective community traditionally based on agriculture. After serving in the Israeli Army as an intelligence officer, Yossi Dina moved to The City of Light – Paris, France, and then in 1979 Yossi Dina transferred to the states, to Los Angeles, California, where he began selling $20 jewelry items door-to-door. These endeavors provided the basis for Yossi Dina’s now considerable net worth.
He soon began selling more expensive and exclusive jewelry, and after several years of carrying his “store” with him in a briefcase – and a few street robberies and attacks with almost lethal results – Yossi Dina opened his first store in 1983, on Wilshire Boulevard, one of LA’s principal arterial roads. Just a couple of years later, Yossi Dina opened his second, The Dina Collection store, in the heart of Beverly Hills, on Beverly Drive. As his business efforts and personal charisma started to attract more rich and high-end clients, Yossi Dina’s wealth increased rapidly.
Today, The Dina Collection is a well established business enterprise, famous for lending large sums of money to famous Hollywood stars who are in a rush for quick cash but discretely, in exchange for branded and expensive jewelry, timepieces, cars and various art pieces. It has also been a place where you can find an impressive range of diamonds, unique watches and fine art, signed by Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, Cartier, Audemars Piquet, Patek Philipe, Kandinsky, Picasso, Warhol and plenty of other exclusive brands. From over 30 years in the business, Yossi Dina, apart from earning “the pawnbroker of the rich and famous” nickname, has also earned millions of dollars and acquired a real fortune in assets, including one of the largest collections of exclusive watches, rare art collectables, first editions and various Hollywood memorabilia.
In 2013, the small screen audience had a chance to get an insight into the glamorous life of Yossi Dina and his clients, through the Reelz Channel reality TV show – “Beverly Hills Pawn”. The show was aired for four seasons until 2015, picturing the day-to-day activities of Dina’s company, its staff and customers. Yossi Dina has also appeared in one episode of the “Home & Family” TV series, in which the TV crew got the chance to film his Malibu Beach Spanish Colonial, villa which he bought in 1998 from Roy Orbison’s estate for $1.8 million.
When it comes to his personal life, Yossi Dina currently resides in his 3500 square foot Malibu residence mentioned above. As a bachelor, Yossi Dina is still in search for his future wife. So, ladies… Triggered?

Charles Saatchi is one of the richest and best known businessmen in the world and one of many millionaires. Saatchi’s overall net worth has been stated to be $100 million for 2014. Charles Saatchi was born in Baghdad, Iraq, but later had to move together with his family to London, UK to avoid the persecution of Jews in his home country. He was the second son in the family of four kids. As a teenager Charles was really interested in American pop culture and studied at the London College of Communication. After graduation he began his professional career as a copywriter working for “Benton & Bowles” and later started to work in tandem with an art director, Ross Cramer, and together they formed their own company called “CramerSaatchi”.
Charles Saatchi Net Worth $100 Million
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.
