Marcos is the son of Ross, who was also a racer in his time; he grew up in his hometown and went to Scotch Oakburn College.
Marcos, as his father, became interested in racing at a very young age; he entered kart racing when he was ten years old, and in the next four years won Tasmanian state junior karting titles, while in 1995 he won the Australian karting champion in the Clubman Heavy class at the Dubbo circuit in New South Wales. After several years of success, he moved to Formula Ford the following year, racing for the Swift Racing Cars. He finished fourth that season, and then in 1997 started his own team and improved his result as he finished second, driving a Van Diemen RF 97 Ford.
After the 1997 season, Marcos moved to Europe, competing in the British Formula Ford series for the next two years, and won the Formula Ford Euro Cup in 1999. He then tried himself in the French Formula Three Championship, as he wanted a way into Formula 1. Unfortunately, luck turned its back on him, and Marcos finished 12th in the 2000 season. Due to the unsuccessful season, he didn’t have enough funding to continue his European competition, and so returned to Australia.
There, he found success in the V8 Supercar Championship Series; he was a racer for the Stone Brother Racing team from 2001 until 2004 and won two V8 Supercar Championship series, and two times finished as the third best driver on the tour.
Having acquired national popularity, Marcos decided to try himself in NASCAR; he first competed in the Craftsman Truck Series, driving Ford F-150 for the Wood Brothers/JTG Racing, and finished 21st, finishing in top ten four times during the season, and also acquired one pole position.
Then he began competing in the Busch Series, which then became Nationwide series, and in 2007 season drove Ford Fusion for the Wood Brothers/JTG Racing and finished 8th in the championship. His first NASCAR win came the following year in the Xfinity Series, at the Zippo 200 at Watkins Glen.
He recorded four more victories and had the best finish in the championship in 2007 when he was the 8th best driver.
When it comes to Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, he had only two wins, first at 2011 Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at The Glen (Watkins Glen), and the second and also last one at 2012 Finger Lakes 355 at The Glen (Watkins Glen), which only increased his wealth. From 2011 he raced for Richard Petty Motorsports, and then retired in 2014, stating that he has had accomplished everything he could in NASCAR.
He returned to Australia and competed again in the V8 Supercars Championship, this time for the DJR Team Penske, but didn’t have much success, as he finished 43rd in the championship. He decided not to extend his contract and officially retired from racing.
Regarding his personal life, Marcos has been married to Sonja since 2007, with whom he has two children.

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.
