Originally from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, he is the son of a nuclear physicist, so needless to say brains ran in the family.

Dish Network was started in the 1980′s, targeting rural area houses, where cable wasn’t as easily accesible. Remember seeing huge dishes in front of peoples houses in random rural places like Colorado? Yeh, that was him. The dishes got smaller, but his net worth got bigger.

Playwright, Screenwriter Gore Vidal Net Worth 2011

Gore Vidal

Net worth with $12

Gore Vidal is an author, playwright, screenwriter and political activist with an estimated net worth with $12. The controversial writer generated his net worth probably after outraging the critics with his third book, The City and the Pillar (1948), which was the first major America book to mention homosexuality.

Vidal wrote his first novel, Williwaw, (based on World War II), at the age of nineteen. After generating success of Williwaw, Vidal composed The City and a Pillar a couple years later.
The novel sat uncomfortably with critics, particularly with the book reviewer, Orville Prescott, of the New York Times. Prescott was so appalled by the of homosexual content, that he refused to review the novel – or allowed the New York Times to review Vidal’s next five novels.
At the time of the book release, there was much speculation surrounding the novel as the story was dedicated to “JT”. It was revealed years later that The City and a Pillar was based on a love affair Vidal had with James Jimmy Trimble III, who was killed in the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945.
Undeterred by his semi-tainted writing career, Vidal wrote several mystery novels in the early 50’s under the pen name of Edgar Box. The novels were so successful that it financed Vidal for more than a decade.
To add to his success, Vidal wrote the play, Visit to a Small Planet (1955) which was a Broadway triumph and he was the screenwriter of the epic film Ben-Hur (1959). It was reported that Ben-Hur was the highest earning film of that year, generating $17, 300, 000 at the box office.
By the 60’s Vidal wrote three novels: Julian (1964); Washington D.C (1967) and Myra Breckinridge (1968), a satirical transsexual comedy. He also wrote The Best Man (1960), which was a film and Broadway success.
Vidal is arguably more respected as an essayist and even the harshest critic gave praises to his work. British novelist Martin Amis admits “Essays are what he is good at … [h]e is learned, funny and exceptionally clear-sighted. Even his blind spots are illuminating.” Vidal received the National Book Award for his collection of essays, United States (1955-1992).
Llike his grandfather, Thomas Gore (a Democratic Politian), Vidal is classed as a prominent political figure. In 1960, Vidal was an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for Congress, losing an election New York’s 29th congressional district. However Vidal went on to become one of the chairmen of the People’s Party from 1970-1972. Additionally, he campaigned against Jerry Brown for the Democratic primary election to the United States Senate from California.
During his political career, Vidal had certainly made emeries along the way which includes a 40-year feud with Conservative author and commentator William F. Buckley. Never the one to hold his tongue, Vidal described George W. Bush as ‘the stupidest man in the United States.’

Heather Thomson Net Worth 2011

Heather Thomson, a fashion designer who was recently announced as a member of the cast of the latest season of The Real Housewives of New York City, has a fashionable net worth of $10 million. In addition to her net worth and her new involvement in the Bravo reality TV series, she is the primary creative talent behind the fashion line Yummie Tummie, the mission statement of which is summed up in its slogan: “live. shape. happy.

The new line of shapewear proposes to make you “forget everything you know about shapewear.” Shapewear, for those not in the know about such things, is a type of garment that seeks to slim the figure of the wearer through control and smoothing. An antiquated example of this idea can be found in the Victorian era corsets, which operated by forcefully tightening around the waist to achieve a temporary but incredibly painful and uncomfortable slimming effect. Yummie seeks to capitalize on the trend recently popularized by brands such as Spanx, and if Heather Thomson has anything to say about it, Yummie will eventually surpass Spanx in terms of popularity and widespread brand saturation.

This, of course, is the M.O. of many traders in the market today and essentially one of the main reasons for the current recession, as well as Enron’s Collapse years ago. After realizing he was caught, he jumped around the world, trying to hide from his impending jail time, but to no avail.

He was eventually captured in Germany and imprisoned for four years in Singapore, where his wife left him, he lost most of his money and became an HUGE outcast in the financial world, being the sole creator of destroying a 230 year old corporation. But, I have to admit, he did manage to rise (a bit) from the ashes.

The movie, with the same name came out in 1999 staring Ewan McGregor and Anna Friel. After his release in 1999, he remarried, moved to Ireland and continues to trade (with his own money this time) and do speaking engagements where he gets around $8,000 per presentation. Not bad for an hours work. Interestingly enough, a jacket that he supposedly wore while trading on the SIMEX in Singapore recently sold on eBay for an amazing $32,900… Crazy what people will throw money away on isn’t it?
