Gary Sheffield was raised in Belmont Heights by a single mother, and they lived with his uncle, Dwight Gooden, who was only four years older than him. They together began to play baseball, and at the age of 11, he became a member of Belmont Heights Little League team, which reached the Little League World Series final in 1980, where they were defeated by Taiwan. However, Gary distinguished himself as a baseball player once again while attending Hillsborough High School, playing in the position of third baseman and pitcher. As a senior, he was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year, after hitting .500 with 15 home runs.
Upon matriculation, he entered the 1986 MLB draft and was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers as the sixth overall pick; he was sent to play in the Pioneer League, and in 1987 Gary signed a contract with the Stockton Ports of the Class-A California League. He led the league in RBIs with 103, and he was named the Brewers’ best prospect, after which he was ready to begin playing in the Major League.
His net worth began to increase steadily from the contracts he signed with the Milwaukee Brewers, as he stayed in the team until 1991. He made his major league debut on the 3rdSeptember 1988, playing in the position of shortstop, and in his first season Gary finished with four home runs and batted .238 average in 24 games, after which he was sent down to the minor league again. When he returned back, because of a fractured bone in his right foot he began by playing in the position of third base. In his last season with the Brewers, Gary made a total of 10 home runs and batted .294 average. As he was a problematic player – accusing the club of racism – his coach decided to trade him in 1992 to the San Diego Padres, where he stayed only one year.
In 1993, he was traded to the Florida Marlins, and after the first season, the club offered him a four-year deal, after which he became a very successful player, hitting 112 home runs from 1994 to 1998. In 1996 he hit 42 home runs, leading the team to the 1997 World Series where they defeated the Cleveland Indians. His net worth increased by a large margin, but as the team couldn’t afford a contract extension, Gary was sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he stayed from 1998 to 2001, continued with success and making three All-Star games.
In 2001, he was traded to the Atlanta Braves, spending two seasons with the team, and then he became a free agent. His next stop was the New York Yankees, signing a contract worth $39 million over three years. But he suffered an injury, and in 2007 was traded to the Detroit Tigers, but he finished the 2008 season with an accumulated total of 499 home runs, increasing further his net worth. He played the next season for the New York Mets, and in the game against the Milwaukee Brewers hit his 500th home run, becoming the 25th baseball player in the MLB to reach that mark. Afterwards, as the club did not offer him a contract extension, he decided to retire. However, he stayed in baseball working as a sports agent, contributing a lot to his net worth.
Regarding his personal life, Gary Sheffield is the father of seven children from various relationships, but has been married to DeLeon Richards since 2000, and the couple resides in Tampa, Florida.

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.
