Verizon Guy net worth: The Verizon Guy, otherwise known as Paul Marcarelli, is an American actor who has anet worth of around $10 million. And while the bulk of his current estimated net worth was earned through those infamous “can you hear me now” commercials for Verizon, Marcarelli has many other talents that may earn him recognition as an artist, if he can overcome his reputation as the Verizon guy. For instance, he has many other commercials under his belt as an actor, such as advertisements for companies like Old Navy and Heineken. He also has a calling as a voice over artist, performing voice over work for Comedy Central, United Airlines, and more. He also has experience working behind the camera, as a producer for independent filmmakers like Eric Bogosian and Richard Nelson, and as a screenwriter. One film he’s written, entitled Sweet Flame, came out recently, and stars Mira Sorvino, and Anne Meara. As of April, 2011, Marcarelli’s contract with Verizon has come to an end, but it can’t be argued that he’s made a big impact on the culture at large. He took a five word sentence and made it resonate throughout millions of people, and for that he can hold his head high. How much did Paul Marcarelli make as the Verizon guy? At his peak, Paul earned $2-3 million per year working for Verizon. Typically when an actor portrays a character for a long time, they end up negotiating a direct deal with the brand outside of the typical SAG-AFTRA union pay scales. They also get a pay bump for being the official spokesperson, residuals for current commercial airings and an exclusivity buyout which precludes them for taking other jobs. When you add it all up, someone like Paul has earned well over $20 million during his career through his commercial and voice acting roles.

Sting net worth: Sting is an extraordinarily successful British musician, real estate investor and philanthropist who has a net worth of $400 million. Sting was born Gordon Matthew Sumner on October 2, 1951 in Wallsend, England. He is probably best known for being a member of The Police and for a prolific career as a solo artist. Sting attended Northern Counties College of Education from 1971-1974. After school he qualified to be a teacher and subsequently landed a job at St. Paul’s Middle School in Cramlington, where he would stay for two years. His first music jobs were in local clubs, playing in jazz bands, wherever he could get a job. His nickname “Sting” came after he performed wearing a black and yellow striped sweater that the bandleader stated made him look like a wasp. In 1977, after a move to London, he joined up with the band, The Police. Their self-titled debut album sold 8 million copies in the United States alone. Between 1978-1983 the group released 5 albums, and won six Grammy awards. To date, The Police have sold over 50 million albums worldwide. In 1982 Sting released his first solo single entitled “Spread A Little Happiness”. In total, he has received 16 Grammy awards for his work, and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. Sting has been married twice. First to actress Frances Tomelty with whom he has two children, and later to actress and film producer Trudie Styler, with whom he has four children. Sting moved to Galway, Ireland in 1980 to take advantage of lower tax rates. He also owns several homes in places such as New York, Malibu, Tuscany, and Salisbury. In 2008 Sting bought two apartments in one of New York City’s most exclusive buildings, 15 Central Park West. He knocked down a wall to make one huge apartment.

Soon after the sale he bought a $50 million unit in a nearby building 220 Central Park West. “Every Breath You Take”: Sting’s classic ballad from 1983 about an unhealthy obsession with a lost love, is one of the top 10 most profitable songs of all time in terms of royalties. After being one of the biggest hits of 1983, the song received a huge re-boot in popularity in 1997 when the rapper Puff Daddy released his cover tribute to the late rapper Notorious BIG, “I’ll Be Missing You”. Diddy’s version would go on to win a Grammy and become one of the best selling singles of all time with more 7 million copies sold worldwide. In 2010, Sting’s former business manager claimed that this song is responsible for more than 1/4 of all the singer’s lifetime publishing income and today still produces $2000 a day ($730,000 per year) in royalties income for Sting. Songwriting for “Every Breath You Take” is credited 100% to Sting (AKA Gordon Sumner). When Diddy produced his version, he forgot to ask for permission first which allowed Sting to demand and receive an unheard of 100% of the remix’s publishing royalties (the standard would have been 25-50%). Interestingly, the only part of the original Police song that Diddy actually sampled was Andy Summer’s guitar riff. Neither Sting’s vocals nor Stewart Copeland’s drum can be heard anywhere on “I’ll Be Missing You”. Because Sting is listed as the sole composer, Summers did not receive a dime in royalties from P Diddy and was not even consulted for his blessing. In fact, Summers was not even aware of the song until his son heard it on the radio. In a recent interview, Andy Summers called Puff Daddy’s song “the major rip-off of all time”. Furthermore, he elaborated: “He actually sampled my guitar, and that’s what he based his whole track on. Stewart’s not on it. Sting’s not on it. I’d be walking round Tower Records, and the fucking thing would be playing over and over. It was very bizarre while it lasted.”

Unbelievably, Heidi would later also admit that they “heard the planet was going to end in 2012… [so we thought] we have got to spend this money before the asteroid hits.“ Heidi admitted to spending an estimated $1 million on handbags and designer clothes. Montag was especially obsessed with Birkin handbags that cost $20,000 a piece. She also spent an estimated $100,000 per month on her hair and makeup. Heidi spent $200,000 in a single day when she underwent a marathon of 10 plastic surgery procedures at once.On Spencer also spent an estimated $1 million on clothes because, in his words: “I wanted to be taken seriously as an A-lister. I wanted to be in fashion magazines alongside Brad Pitt“. As their fame began to fade, for some reason Spencer became obsessed with crystals.
