Micky Ward net worth and career earnings: Micky Ward is a retired American boxer who has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars. Born in Lowell, Massachusetts, Micky Ward was an accomplished boxer, with multiple Golden Gloves Championships to his name, when he decided to join the professional circuit in the mid-80s. He started out very well and won his first fourteen fights in the Junior Welterweight Division. However, he began to have problems in the early 90s, and subsequently retired from the sport. During his time away from the sport, he finally dealt with his right hand, which had serious damage. Multiple surgeries, that transferred bone from his pelvis to his damaged hand, helped to strengthen the weakened hand. His half-brother, former boxer Dicky Ecklund, convinced him to return to boxing. He launched a comeback in 1997, and won his first nine fights. He became WBU Intercontinental Light Welterweight Champion, and made it to the Championship fight for the 1997 IBF Light Welterweight title, but ultimately lost. He won the WBU Light Welterweight title in 2000, and retired again in 2003. Fight Magazine chose his fights in 2001, 2002, and 2003 as the Fights of the Year. He was the subject of the Oscar winning film, “The Fighter” starring Mark Wahlberg.

Do you think he’s sexy? His wife Penny Lancaster, who gave birth to his eighth child in February 2011, clearly thinks Stewart has still got it. The ageing rock icon showed a thoroughly modern enthusiasm for youngest son Aiden’s water birth in February, packing his swimming trunks in order to dive into the birthing pool, and says he soothes his colic by crooning to him in those famous husky tones. Lancaster is the fifth mother to Stewart’s children and his third wife. The singer’s enduring allure to long-limbed, blonde-locked beauties — and the fertility of their unions — has run concurrent with his staying power as a recording musician. He has said: “I can’t have any more kids, otherwise I’ll be touring until I’m 90.” That should not be necessary. Stewart’s Great American Songbook series of albums has boosted his career and last year he released Fly Me to the Moon — the latest volume in the series. He also toured, included one-off gigs in Dubai, Malta and at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Pollstar reported gross box office receipts worldwide of $32m from 35 shows in 2010. Stewart’s property portfolio comprises homes in France and Essex, a Palm Beach seafront house and a Beverly Hills mansion. He admitted to Piers Morgan on television that he was worth more than £100m. Sunday Times Rich List’s rock expert reckons it is £115m, to be precise.
