Ekaterina started to pursue figure skating from the age of four when she joined the Children and Youth Sports School at CSKA Moscow. In 1981, she was first paired with Sergei Grinkov, and four years later, the two would win the World Junior Championships, and this would lead them to their first World Championship win the following year. Her net worth started to increase, and the couple became one of the few pairs to win back-to-back junior and senior World Championship titles. In 1987, they won gold at the Winter Olympics despite an accident, the youngest pair to ever win Olympic Gold. The pair then took back their World Championship title in 1989 after losing the previous year,. and would successfully defend it in 1990, before winning their first World Professional Championship in 1991, a competition they would win two more times in the next few years.
Gordeeva and Grinkov would become one of the most dominant pairs on the skating scene, winning 24 times out of 31 competitions. In 1989, their partnership became romantic and they would marry two years later. They toured with Stars on Ice for the next few years, although returning to ostensibly amateur competition in 1993, and the following year win their second Olympic gold. After the Olympics, they returned to professional skating and also continued to tour with Stars on Ice. They were then inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. In 1995, Sergei would pass away from a heart attack while practicing on the ice.
The following year, Ekaterina became a solo performer – her first performance was a tribute to her late husband. She continued to produce good performances, and would also release the book “My Sergei: A Love Story”, also publishing a second book entitled “A Letter for Daria”. She also returned as a solo skater in Stars on Ice, touring with them until 2000; she’s returned frequently since then, but never full time, performing with other pairs as part of the show. In 2008, she appeared in the reality television show called “Ice Age 2”, and would win it alongside actor Egor Beroev.
Gordeeva has also been involved in various endorsements, including for Target and Rolex. She also started performing with her daughter Daria, but Daria would stop figure skating in 2007. Three years later, Katie performed with Stars on Ice on their Anniversary Tour, then joined the figure skating reality show “Battle of the Blades”. Her net worth continued to grow thanks to these numerous opportunities.
For her personal life, it is known that Gordeeva married Sergei Grinkov in 1991 and they had a daughter one year later. In 2001, she then had a daughter with 1998 Olympic men’s singles champion Ilia Kulik; the two married in a private ceremony one year later. The family now resides in Newport Beach, California, although Gordeeva also travels to Russia frequently.

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.
