Between Paul Teutul Jr.’s motorcycle business and his popularity on reality TV, he’s been able to enjoy plenty of financial success. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Junior is worth $2 million. That’s nothing to sneeze at!
Junior’s family, on the other hand, hasn’t been so lucky with money. In 2020, his dad Paul Teutul Sr. and brother Michael Teutul were sued for over $258,000 by photographer Scott Gunnells for allegedly using his art on Orange County Choppers merch on the show, per Page Six. The family lost the lawsuit, MSN reported. Orange County Choppers, Discovery Inc., and the Pilgrim Media Group were also included in the suit — but Paul Jr. wasn’t.
That lawsuit is just the latest of Junior’s family’s financial woes. Paul Sr. was also sued for fraud in 2018 by a former business partner who claimed he sabotaged a TV project that lost them millions (via Page Six). He filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy that same year, and his home was put in foreclosure, per The Blast. Moreover, he reportedly owes upwards of $23,000 in state taxes for his restaurant Orange County Choppers Cafe. He even had to sell off several of his own vehicles to make ends meet, The Blast reported.
Meanwhile, Junior has a Discovery spinoff, his own shop, and no financial drama of his own.
