Beresford-Redman matriculated from Pascack Hills High School in Bergen County, New Jersey, and subsequently graduated from New College of Florida in Sarasota, Florida.
His involvement in television started in 2003, when he produced an episode of the television series “The Restaurant”. Later that year he served as field producer of the television series documentary called “Profiles from the Front Line”, a good start to his net worth.
The following year Beresford-Redman was the co-creator and subsequent producer of the hit TV series “Pimp My Ride”, which was picked up by MTV, and hosted by rapper Xzibit, portraying car owners who want their old or damaged cars to undergo a complete makeover by the show’s team of specialists. Producing a show which gained an extremely wide audience in a quite short period of time, and which became one of MTV’s most followed franchises spawning several spinoffs, significantly added to Beresford-Redman’s net worth.
Around the same time, the producer began working on another major franchise, the American version of the hit reality television competition “Survivor”. Filmed in the Amazon jungle and the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific, the show portrays contestants split into tribes, facing various challenges, surviving a range of elements and providing their own necessities, such as shelter, food, water and fire, for 39 days. The winner of the show, titled Sole Survivor, receives a cash prize of $1 million. The show, picked up by CBS, has enjoyed an astonishing popularity with audiences. Serving as executive producer for 33 episodes of the Emmy-nominated “Survivor”, Beresford-Redman has been nominated for three Emmy Awards himself. The show has greatly contributed to his popularity and to his wealth as well.
He has also served as a co-executive producer for the television series “The Contender”, and two episodes of the series “Crash Course”. His last project was the 2010 series “Breakthrough with Tony Robbins”.
Aside from Beresford-Redman’s professional credits, this is, however, not the only thing he is known for. In early 2010, Beresford-Redman’s wife Monica Burdos was found murdered at the Moon Palace resort, where the couple had been staying during their vacation in Cancun, Mexico. Her body was found in a sewer close to their hotel. Some of the hotel’s guests claimed to have heard the couple arguing that day while other witnesses stated that they saw the producer’s arms and neck covered with scratches. As the investigation didn’t offer any clear insights into the murder, Beresford-Redman was questioned by police as a person of interest in his wife’s death and was ordered not to leave the country while the investigation lasted. However, he chose to illegally leave Mexico and go back to USA, which caused Mexican authorities to issue an arrest warrant for him, initiating his extradition to Mexico. Although Beresford-Redman maintained his innocence, he was eventually arrested in L.A. and a US court upheld his extradition in 2011. The following year he was sent to Mexico, waiting for his verdict in a Cancun jail until 2015, when he was convicted of murdering his wife, and sentenced to twelve years in prison. Although prosecutors have claimed that Beresford-Redman had plenty of motives to murder his wife, such as to continue having an affair he had reportedly broken off before the couple’s trip to Cancun, to obtain the custody of his children and to collect insurance money, the defense, on the other side, has claimed that there is no evidence that leads to him, and will appeal the case. The prosecution will likely appeal the leniency of the sentence.
In his personal life, Beresford-Redman married Monica Burdos in 1999, and they had two children, who now live with Beresford-Redman’s parents.

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.
