Michael Ballard spent his childhood in his hometown. As a kid, he was very frisky, so the local police gave him the nickname “Little Al Capone”. When he was a teenage, Michael started to go out to local bars, and developed a passion for bar-trawling. He was fascinated with the town’s biggest bar at that time, the Silver Dollar Café, and he wanted to own a bar like that one.

Beginning in 1999, Michael bought 30 acres of land, and started building his own biker bar. In no time, out of bricks and dirt became what is now known as Full Throttle Saloon, the largest biker bar in the world. Ten years after its inception, Michael made a deal for a reality TV series, which followed daily happenings at the bar during the biker season, which is most recognizable by the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, during which The Full Throttle Saloon guests more than 20,000 bikers each night. The first episode was aired on the 10th November 2009 on TruTV, and the first season had seven episodes. Thanks to the popularity of the show, Michael`s net worth increased by a large margin, and it also acquired him a new deal with TruTV for another season. This consisted of nine episodes, and every episode had more than 1.2 million viewers, which encouraged TruTV for another, third season, which was even more successful, increasing Michael’s net worth further. Every episode of the third season had over 1.5 million viewers, and some of them had over 2 million people with their eyes stuck on the TV. However, since then, the popularity of the show declined, and after the fifth season it was canceled.

Luck turned back on Michael on the 8th September 2015, when the a destroyed the whole Full Throttle Saloon, however, he has firmly decided to rebuild his dream, and once again host the largest biker bar in the world, which will without a doubt increase his net worth further, once it starts operating again.

When it comes to his personal life, Michael Ballard has been married to Angie Carlson since August of 2012. She works in the position of the bar’s Marketing Director. The couple has a daughter.
