Rudy attended the Bishop Loughlin Memorial High School and then went to Manhattan College to study theology for four years. After graduation, and contemplating a life in the priesthood, he would eventually attend New York University Law School in Manhattan, finishing as a magna cum laude in 1968. He started his law career under Judge Lloyd MacMahon who was United States Southern District Judge for New York at the time. He went on to join the office of the US Attorney and by the age of 29, had become the Chief of the Narcotics Unit as well as executive US attorney. By 1975, he was called to serve in Washington D.C. working as Associate Deputy Attorney General. He returned to New York in 1977 to practice law under Patterson, Belknap, Webb and Tyler. Throughout these years his net worth had started to build up.
In 1981, he occupied the third highest position in the Department of Justice after being named Associate Attorney General during the Reagan administration. He became a supervisor of Attorney offices, law enforcement agencies, drug enforcement agencies and the like. Around two years later, he became the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, earning a reputation as a ruthless operator as he cracked down on organized crime and corruption. He earned 4, 152 convictions with only 25 reversals during his tenure which, however, did not go without criticisms, as some people reported he deliberately arrested a few for publicity, only to later release them and drop charges.
By 1989, he went on to his first candidacy for mayor of New York against David Dinkins. He lost by a very small margin and it was considered the closest margin of any mayoral elections in the city. He ran again in 1993, and with Dinkins losing a bit of favor, succeeded in becoming the first Republican elected Mayor since 1965. During his time as mayor he reduced overall crime by 57%, and murder rates by as much as 65%. He improved the law enforcement agency, welfare and overall quality of life. He was eventually re-elected in 1997 after high ratings of satisfaction. With his favor dropping by the year 2001, he was then suddenly faced with one of the biggest and most tragic events of the country, the 9/11 attacks.
Giuliani became one of the most well-known voices and faces following the attacks. He became an outlet of support and reassurance for the city as well as the country. His support earned him the title of being one of the greatest mayors in New York History. Time Magazine also named him person of the year and he was given an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II.
Giuliani tried to run for the senate and even presidency but eventually withdrew with concerns for his health and his personal life. He battled prostate cancer and had to deal with issues of extramarital affairs with his soon-to-be third wife Judith Nathan.
Even with some people trying to encourage Giuliani to run again for politics, he declined and decided to focus on business.
In his personal life, Rudi has been married three times, now married to and living with Judith Nathan since 2003. He has two children from his second marriage to Donna Hannover(1984-2002), having previously been married to Regina Peruggi(1968-82).

However, in the mid-60s he also got the job of a poverty lawyer and later continued as a lawyer for the Federal Trade Comission. 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.
