So just how rich is Mario Draghi? Authoritative sources estimate that Mario’s net worth is over $4 million, his wealth having been accrued from his long career in banking and the finance industry overall, plus he is still earning an annual salary of $400,000 from his current position.
Mario Draghi Net Worth $4 Million
Mario Draghi studied at the Massimiliano Massimo Institute (founded by Ignatius Loyola in 1551), and subsequently graduated from La Sapienza University with an economics degree, and then became the first Italian to gain a PhD (in economics) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976. He was a professor at the Cesare Alfieri Faculty of Political Science of the University of Florence from 1981 until 1994, and concurrently Italian Executive Director at the World Bank. Then Mario was a fellow of the Institute of Politics at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. Of course all these positions contributed significantly to Mario Draghi’s net worth.
From 1991-2001, Mario Draghi was the Director of the Italian Treasury, during which time he was instrumental in drafting the law that governs Italian financial markets to this day, but he also served on the boards of several Italian banks. Then from 2002-05 Draghi was vice-chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International and a member the firm’s management committee. Mario’s net worth continued to grow steadily.
In 2005 Draghi was appointed Governor of the Bank of Italy, and in 2006 elected to the internationally important position of Chairman of the Financial Stability Forum, which on behalf of the G20, brings together representatives of governments, central banks and national supervisors of financial markets, aiming to promote international financial stability and international cooperation between countries and institutions.
These responsibilities were ideal preparation for Mario Draghi assuming the presidency of the European Central Bank in 2011, in succession to Jean-Claude Trichet, which needed to be approved by the European Parliament, as the term runs for eight years and selecting the right person is obviously of considerable importance. As the president of the European Central Bank, Draghi is responsible for maintaining financial unity across 18 countries, and in carrying out his responsibilities with considerable success, has earned the nickname “Super Mario.” So far he has managed to maintain the integrity of the Euro during a lengthy period of heavy pressure on the currency, and nationalistic concerns from several constituent countries within the Euro zone, to the point where early in 2015 in an appearance before the European Parliament, Draghi said that the future of the eurozone was at risk unless member countries gave up some independence and created more Pan-European government institutions. Draghi’s salary continues to add to his net worth.
In his personal life, Mario Draghi has been married to Serena since 1973, and they have two children. In 2000 he was awarded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

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”.

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.
