What is Mikey Teutul's net worth?
Mikey Teutul is an American television personality who has a net worth of $1 million.
Michael "Mikey" Teutul was born on November 26, 1978, and gained fame as one of the main cast members of the reality television series "American Chopper," which aired from 2002 to 2010 on Discovery Channel and TLC. He is the youngest son of Orange County Choppers (OCC) founder Paul Teutul Sr. and the younger brother of Paul Teutul Jr.
Unlike his father and brother, who were heavily involved in the mechanical and design aspects of motorcycle building, Mikey initially served as Orange County Choppers' janitor and general assistant. His role on the show was often that of comic relief, with his laid-back personality and humorous antics providing a contrast to the frequent tensions between his father and brother.
Throughout the series, Mikey grew from being primarily known as the shop's jokester to developing his own interests and pursuits. He began exploring artistic endeavors, particularly painting, and hosted his own art shows. This creative outlet became increasingly important to him as the show progressed, and he began to establish an identity separate from the family business.
The family dynamics portrayed on "American Chopper" were often tumultuous, with Mikey sometimes finding himself caught between his father and brother during their notorious arguments. These conflicts eventually led to significant changes at OCC, including Paul Jr.'s departure from the company. Mikey also left OCC during the show's run to focus on his personal projects and well-being.
In addition to his artistic pursuits, Mikey has been open about his struggles with alcohol and his journey to sobriety. He underwent gastric bypass surgery and made significant lifestyle changes to improve his health, losing a considerable amount of weight in the process.
After his departure from the regular cast of "American Chopper," Mikey has maintained a lower public profile compared to his father and brother. He has continued to develop his art career and has made occasional appearances on various "American Chopper" revival shows and specials.
