Who is Miguel Leon Tyson?

His father is considered one of the strongest heavyweight boxers of all time, becoming the undisputed world champion and holding many belts since he was 20 years old.

The Wealth of Miguel Leon Tyson

As of early-2020, Miguel Leon Tyson’s net worth probably only benefits from the success of his father. Mike Tyson has a net worth estimated to be over $3 million, earned mostly through a successful boxing career, although there was a point in time when he enjoyed wealth of over $300 million, thanks to lucrative boxing contracts, endorsements, and other income.

However, criminal actions, poor investments and the high life have led him to lose a lot of it.

Life So Far

Miguel Leon spent most of his childhood away from the spotlight, as most of the attention was in his father’s successful yet controversial life. Mike is known to have fathered at least eight children with three different women. He was a child from one of his father’s relationships, with Sol Xochiti though they never married, and of whom there is no other information, other than that she apparently still has intermittent contact with Mike Tyson.

Miguel grew up alongside a younger sister who passed away suddenly after an accident on a treadmill. He was seven years old at the time, when he found his sister who was only four, dangling from a cord after attempting to play on the treadmill. She was rushed to hospital but wasn’t able to be resuscitated.

The next report about his life came when he was 15 years old and began approaching his father to use boxing for his fitness regimen. Despite just starting, he showed a lot of potential, with heavy hits, agility and vigor – his father posted about his son’s training on social media with a video.

A lot of his fans believed that Miguel could pursue a career in the profession, but his father denied that his son had any intention for that, and was only doing it for the exercise.

Father – Mike Tyson

Mike grew up in a financially destitute household, which led him to move around. His father abandoned the family, and his mother passed away when he was 16 years old.. He learned how to fight in the streets, partly due to the rampant crime in his area. Eventually, one of the counselors in a juvenile detention center saw his potential for boxing and he began training in the sport. He came under the guardianship of famous boxing trainer Cus D’Amato.

His first fights were highly successful, as he won two golds in two separate Junior Olympic Games. In 1985 he made his professional debut, and won 26 of his first 28 fights by knock-out (KO) or via technical knockout (TKO). The following year, his fights became televised and Mike showcased his ability to win quickly. This also led to his first title fight for the World Boxing Council (WBC) title, which he won during the second round against Trevor Berbick. At this point, he became the youngest ever heavyweight champion with many of his challengers intimidated by his strength, speed, accuracy, and timing.

The Success of Tyson and the Downfall

Within a year, Mike gained two more championships, defeating James Smith for the World Boxing Federation (WBF) and Tony Tucker for the International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles, making history by becoming the first heavyweight to hold all three boxing titles simultaneously. Afterward, he had over nine title challengers, successfully defending each time, maintaining his title as undisputed champion.

However, things came to a sudden halt when he was convicted of the rape of an 18-year-old girl. Physicians saw that the girl had signs of rape on her while Tyson defended that everything was done with consent.

He was sentenced to six years in prison after his appeal failed, but he only served three years, and in a youth penitentiary center. During this time, he converted to Islam, having discovered it while imprisoned.

The Comeback and Life After

After his return, Mike worked to regain his titles, winning the WBA and WBC titles once more. However, he lost the title against Evander Holyfield, and their rematch was stopped after Tyson bit Holyfield’s ears. After a few years of boxing, he eventually retired from the sport as he was no longer in his prime.

His retirement also brought about the fact that he had lost a lot of his $300 million wealth earned from boxing, and that he was in debt of around $23 million, partly due to problems with alcohol, child support and bad financial decisions.

He eventually bounced back from his debt with the help of accountants and other financial experts. Since leaving the sport, he’s made a lot of endorsements and television appearances. He published the book “Undisputed Truth” which became a New York Times Best Seller. He also ventured into acting and attended mixed martial arts events. In 2017, it was announced that he would become the face for commercials of the franchise Ultra Tune. He also released another book at around the same time called “Iron Ambition”, which details his time living and training with Cus D’Amato.

Personal Life

Miguel Leon is single and while he doesn’t make a lot of public appearances, he has not been seen in any possible romantic relationships. His father settled down in 2009, in his third marriage to longtime girlfriend Kiki Spicer. Miguel attended the private wedding which was held in La Bella Wedding Chapel at the Las Vegas Hilton. His father has been open about his struggles with alcoholism and his life with sobriety. He is also a big supporter of Donald Trump though it is not known if his son shares the same views. Despite his faults, his father is still considered a boxing legend and icon, with many hoping that Miguel will prove to be of the same caliber. However, he has yet to make any moves in the sport, even as an amateur.

He is not part of the film industry, although it’s believed that his father tried to help him work on his skills and win roles, but Aaron was uninterested. There are rumors circulating the internet that Aaron is not very close to his family, which is also why he has all but disappeared from view, especially of the media.

Love life and marriage

Aaron hasn’t talked about any women he might have dated which is why there are many people out there who believe him to be gay, however, nothing has been confirmed. There are some who have claimed to have seen Aaron holding hands with a mysterious woman in the streets of Los Angeles, but no evidence has been provided to support these claims.

As he hasn’t commented on the rumors surrounding his love life, as of November 2020, Aaron is apparently single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.

Age, height and net worth

Aaron’s age is 25. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, is 5ft 8ins (1.73m) tall and weighs around 150lbs (68kgs). As there is no information on his career, and therefore income, his net worth is unknown.

She grew up in Miami alongside two sisters, and with two half-brothers though they aren’t as close, being from her father’s previous marriages.

Due to her heart condition, she lived a mostly strict lifestyle, with much of her food controlled while she wasn’t allowed to engage in physical activities as her heart was still developing. She grew close to her father during this time, who focused on teaching all his offspring correct speech, as it is a problem that he had to deal with all his life.

Education and Career

Sophia Rose did some physical activities with her father, but kept it toned down to avoid any unnecessary problems.

After matriculating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Southern California where she took up a degree in Art History, but later changed her mind and shifted to Communications with a minor in Entrepreneurship. While she grew close to her father, she set her sights on following a career similar to that of her mother.

It inspired him to pursue a career in acting though he didn’t get any roles for a while leaving him nearly broke and homeless. This persuaded him to appear in his first feature, the notorious pornographic film “The Party at Kitty and Stud’s”, but which didn’t include pornographic scenes compared to today’s standards.

The Success of Sylvester Stallone

With his return to the US, Sylvester began taking more roles which would eventually lead him to envision film projects.He wrote and starred in the film “Rocky”, creating the role of the boxer Rocky Balboa which elevated him to stardom.

In 2010 he wrote and directed “The Expendables” films, which are noted for featuring various popular action stars from the 1980s to the 1990s.

Actors

Sean Edward Hartman’s Wiki: Phil Hartman’s Son & Family

Published

on

Introduction

Sean Edward Harman is an actor and artist. He is also the son of the deceased Phil Hartman and Brynn Hartman, actually best known as a result of the tragic death of his parents, whereby his mother Brynn Hartman committed suicide shortly after murdering her husband. Sean was only nine at the time of this occurring, which therefore shaped his life.

Early Life

Sean Edward Hartman was born on the 17th June 1989 (age currently 31) in Sunset, Vancouver, British Colombia in Canada.

His zodiac sign is Gemini, and he now has joint American-Canadian nationality. He was raised in Los Angeles, California as it was close to the television production his father, Phil Hartman was working at and involved with.

Sean’s heritage from his father’s side is English, German and Irish. On his mother’s side it is more of a real mix – English, Scottish, French Canadian, Danish, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian and Mexican.

Phil Hartmann, Sean’s father, was a well known and loved Canadian screenwriter, graphic designer, actor and comedian, regularly appearing on the NBC comedy show “Saturday Night Live” (SNL), completing his eighth and final season on SNL in February 1998.

Advertisement

He was also a voiceover artist, best known for his work voicing many of “The Simpsons” characters, as well as being the voice for Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo.

Phil was married three times, first to Gretchen Lewis from 1970-1972, then Lisa Strain from 1982-1985, and shortly afterwards met his future third wife and Sean’s mother Brynn, an aspiring model on a blind date; they married in 1987. Sean has one younger sibling, Birgen Anika who was born in February 1992.  Both of Sean’s parents suffered from alcohol and substance abuse issues, as the impact of fame apparently effected both parents negatively. As a result of this, the early years of Sean’s childhood were not the most peaceful or stable.

On the 28th May 1998, the infamous suicide murder event took place that changed Sean and his sister’s life forever. After attending a restaurant in Los Angeles, Brynn Hartman shot Phil Hartmann three times whilst he was sleeping in bed. After admitting to a friend what she had done, she locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself in the head. This murder-suicide left Sean and his sister Birgen orphans; Sean was nine at the time, and his younger sister Birgen, six. They were both in the house whilst this happened, which was therefore obviously a deeply traumatic event for them both. Afterwards they were taken to a park by a family friend, who could tell they were in shock. They apparently announced their sadness that their mother ‘wouldn’t be able to take her to do all the fun things she’d promised’.

Much of Hollywood mourned the loss of Phil. In an attempt to remove the children from a media circus, they were sent to live in the Midwest with a maternal aunt, Katherine Wright and her husband Mike; the couple didn’t have children of their own. They took custody of the children, and raised them outside of Los Angeles, apparently with the children using a different last name during their childhood in order to “shield them from the media and allow them to grow up in relative obscurity”. First they lived in Eau Claire, a community in northern Wisconsin, and later in Edina, Minnesota. Later on, the children went to live with a paternal relative, their uncle and Phil’s brother John.

Early education, career, hobbies/interests

Once in school, it became clear that Sean was an artistic character just like his father had been before him.

He attended Edina High faculty for high school. During his time here he took part in artistic endeavours such as creating and illustrating the poster for the short film ‘Kimura’s Vengeance’. Sean had a clear passion for music from a young age, and was a member of several bands, one such being ‘Metamorphic Mexico’, of which there are black and white photos available.

After high school he attended the Minneapolis College of Art and Design which he later graduated from, after which he interned at several artistic companies, pursuing his dream of staying within the artistic world.

Career

Sean is an actor, writer, a graphic art designer, a voice artist, artist and a comedian.

Advertisement

He has used his natural interest and passion with the arts to create a career that has expanded in different directions within the artistic realm. He has had various illustration and graphic design jobs, although none of them are well known to the public realm.

He is the keyboard player in the band ‘Moonstone Continuum’ which perform in the US. He is currently performing Stand Up Comedy with the Cleveland Comedy club as he can be seen promoting on his Instagram account. He is relatively active on Instagram, as @sean_hartman.

Sean currently resides in Oakland, California.

Partner

Sean is currently single, although he is very private about his personal life. He doesn’t comment on this, post about it, or make any public statements that could lead to further indications of his relationship status.

Other relationships

Sean is still close with his sister Birgen, after attending her marriage to Brandon in 2018. Birgen and Branden became engaged in 2015 and were married in 2018 in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. There are photos of this ceremony, which looked like a fairy tale occasion for Birgen. Sean remains a supportive and close brother to his sister and only sibling. Birgen continues to live outside of LA, stating that her love of nature compels her to lead a more rural lifestyle.

Birgen was featured in SNL’s 40th anniversary special show, reuniting with many of her father’s old friends; Sean wasn’t in attendance.

Unlike as children, today both proudly use their real last name ‘Hartman’.

Net Worth

Sean Edward Hartman’s current estimated net worth stands at $1 million. He and his sister were both left with an inheritance from their late parents, who had planned ahead in the event of their death, so left behind an estate of an estimated worth $1.23 million. This was to be awarded to the children in parts – 25% each after they attained a bachelor’s degree, and the other 25% each upon them turning 30.

Furthermore, sources suggest that Sean is currently making $150,000 to $200,000 yearly on an average salary through his various graphic design work and artistic endeavours.

Physical characteristics

Sean Edward Hartman is tall, with brown or black hair, and green eyes.
