Sonja Morgan Net Worth
Sonja Morgan's Net Worth as of 2024
$15 Million
American TV star, film producer, model, author and socialite Sonja Morgan was born Sonja Tremont on 25 November 1963, in Albany, New York State, and became known widely to the public as one of the cast members of Bravo cable TV network’s reality television series ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’ from series three in 2010.
So just how rich is Sonja Morgan, as of mid-2017? Authoritative sources estimate that the amount of Sonja Morgan’s net worth is over $15 million, collectively accumulated from her various interests.
Sonja Morgan Net Worth $15 Million
Sonja graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, and Sonja Morgan’s net worth was established while she worked as a model at Paris and Milan fashion shows. Then she worked as a manager-consultant for certain restaurants in The Big Apple, using her relationship with the upper class to bring in high-profile clientele. However, Morgan’s net worth significantly increased when she joined ‘The Real Housewives of New York City’, the television series broadcast by the Bravo cable TV – Morgan reputedly earns $220,000 per season, which composes most of her current income. In July 2012, Bravo released a social networking video game version of “The Real Housewives of New York City” entitled ‘Real Housewives: The Game’, which has also made a positive impact on Sonja Morgan’s net worth.
Morgan also added to her net worth after her book was released; entitled ‘Buns in My Oven: The Toaster Oven Cookbook’ published by Home Eatins Press, the book is based on simple recipes for use in a toaster oven.
Sonja has also written a screenplay which includes details of her life, marriage and divorce, and there is a possibility that she will publish it as a book, thus, Sonja would also increase her net worth.
In her less-than-private personal life, Sonja was married to American businessman John Adams Morgan – the great-grandson of financier John Pierpont Morgan and President John Adams – from 1998 until 2006; Morgan is 33 years older than his ex-wife – Sonja has custody of their daughter. Sonja Morgan filed for bankruptcy when she was sued for a failed movie venture in 2010, but her financial troubles were also growing because of the complicated divorce, apparently still not finally settled.
Sonja Morgan spends much of her free time with charity work, even receiving a NY State Senate award for her business capability in combining media and charity work. Sonja gave the interview about her charity work to The Economist Magazine at the NY Stock Exchange for Bloomberg TV, questioned by Martha Stewart and Virgin Airlines Deepak Chopra. She still lives in New York City.

Charles Saatchi Net Worth
Charles Saatchi is one of the richest and best known businessmen in the world and one of many millionaires. Saatchi’s overall net worth has been stated to be $100 million for 2014. Charles Saatchi was born in Baghdad, Iraq, but later had to move together with his family to London, UK to avoid the persecution of Jews in his home country. He was the second son in the family of four kids. As a teenager Charles was really interested in American pop culture and studied at the London College of Communication. After graduation he began his professional career as a copywriter working for “Benton & Bowles” and later started to work in tandem with an art director, Ross Cramer, and together they formed their own company called “CramerSaatchi”.
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”. The couple lived together for the six years before marrying, but divorced in 1990. 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.

She’s an embarrassment to the female gender….and the Morgan legacy. I hope her daughter isn’t being bullied and/or humiliated because of her mother’s disgusting behavior.

Dear Vonya,
Did you walk in Sonja’s shoes? Were you there in her home feeling her hurting heartbeat?
Have you ever thought about what you’d do if your spouse, your lover, your ‘forever ‘ soulmate and let’s not forget, THE father of your child(ren) who had committed this deliberate and hurtful betrayal, not only to you, but towards you and your family?
Unless you have been through a similar, if not the exact situation, then there are no words nor enough “I’m so sorry” to ever mend that shattered mirror.
—–
People who Shame & Blame others:
Perhaps it is a matter of self-preservation or protection. It is too painful to recognize your own hypocrisy, so you channel your energy into damning it in someone else—especially in those strangers with familiar faces. You don’t actually know them, but you feel like you do, so therefore some people feel that they have “permission” to judge them saying hurtful and defamatory comments, as you just did, V.
Secondly, Mr. Morgan isn’t being amenable to HIS court ordered responsibilities with his child support payments?
That’s the ‘least ‘ he could do, in my observation.
~~~~~~~~~~~BTW~~~~~~~~
MOST would have already been accosted and in jail. Aren’t they called ‘Dead-Beat’ Dads or Moms?’
Whilst you say that Sonjá is a disgrace to the female gender, however, you undoubtedly must not think that Mr. Morgan isn’t a disgrace to the male gender? This isn’t a gender issue. Every bit of their story could be the other way around!!
Is this why Mr. Morgan is hiding somewhere off on an Island? Is it that his millions are worth more than his relationship and reputation with his daughter and to the public?
Perhaps he’s all bundled up warm and cozy, yet all alone and remorseful about his actions? I certainly would hope that he will come forth and be a man in doing what is right. Absolutely, nobody is perfect!
-Like many, it’s a sad ending to what could of been a beautiful love story.
-Indeed, we live in a hypocritical society.
-NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.
I always say and will say:
-NO GOOD-OR-BAD DEED GOES UNNOTICED either.

Though my (now) EX husband was not as wealthy as Mr. Morgan, I was devastated to find out HE never stopped dating after our wedding, too, so, KLP, yes, in fact I have been in those shoes. I certainly do not count myself as a supporter of Mr. Morgan’s, or any person, man or woman, who chooses to betray their spouse in the despicable ways he has–but that doesn’t make it acceptable for Ms. Morgan to choose to behave as she has, either–especially as a parent. I wasn’t fortunate enough to have my child, as I discovered my ex had been cheating while I was going through an ectopic pregnancy that later ruptured. I don’t say that to invoke some sort of sympathy from you or anyone–just to let you know that IF I’d been blessed with a child, I would make it a point to conduct myself in a manner that wouldn’t be embarrassing to him or her–especially if I was cast in a television show. (Even as an adult, I’d be incredibly embarrassed if my mother was shocked to “discover” she’d forgotten to wear underwear as she was bending over in a very skimpy costume…..on OR off camera.)
KLP, I can only base my feelings on the behavior Ms. Morgan is comfortable CHOOSING to display in FRONT of cameras…..Personally, I find it inappropriate, irresponsible, and selfish…….obviously, I do not count myself as one of her “fans” and, though I appreciate your response and respect your opinion, my own has not changed and isn’t likely to.
