Simone’s mother was unable to take care of her children during their youth due to drug and alcohol addiction, so Simone was put out to foster care, as her birth father had abandoned the family, also due to addictionsl. She was taken care of by her grandfather and his second wife, and was later officially adopted; she spent most of her secondary education being homeschooled. She matriculated in 2015, and would then commit to attending UCLA, however, she deferred enrollment to compete in the 2016 Summer Olympics, and later forfeited her NCAA eligibility by going professional.
Biles started performing in gymnastics at a young age, and was encouraged by instructors to pursue the sport. She began training virtually full-time at the age of eight, and in 2011 started her junior career in the American Classic, placing third all around. One of the reasons she transitioned to homeschooling was to have more time to train, and this led her to immense success during the 2012 season, in which she placed first all around at the American Classic as well as in the 2012 US Classic in Chicago. She then made her second appearance at the USA Gymnastics National Championships, in which she placed third all around.
In 2013, Simone made her senior international debut at the American Cup, finishing second, then competed at the City of Jesolo Trophy, taking first place all around. After a poor performance during the 2013 US Classic, she would recover at the 2013 USA Gymnastics National Championships, becoming the national all-around champion, and the first American gymnast since Shannon Miller in 1991 to qualify for all four event finals. After missing the start of the 2014 season, she would eventually return and win more awards, including competing at the 2014 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships at which she led the US to its second consecutive world team championship, and only the second American woman to repeat as world all-around champion.
In 2015, Biles continued to compete consistently and declared turning pro, forfeiting her chance to compete for UCLA. She joined the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship, and the team would win their third consecutive gold medal at a World Championships event, and making her the first woman to win three consecutive all-around titles in World Gymnastics Championships history. As reigning National champion, she continued to perform splendidly, and was named to the team for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, competing in all four events of the final – the only member of Team USA to do so – and winning the gold medal in the individual all-around. She helped the USA team claim a medal in every event for the first time since 1984, and set the American record for most gold medals in women’s gymnastics. She then decided to take a break in 2017, and return to training in 2018.
For her personal life, not much is known about Simone’s romantic relationships, if any. She is a Catholic and mentioned that Belize is her second home. In January 2018, she came forward with allegations that she was sexually abused by gymnastics team doctor Larry Nassar.

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.
