Here's How Much Jesse James Is Worth And Where He's Been Since West Coast Choppers
After 14 years since the show ended, we are excited to see what Jesse James has in store for the automotive industry.
Jesse James Confirms New Outlaw TV Streaming Service
A welcome revival of great names like Jesse James, Paul Teutul Sr, and Billy Lane, the streaming service will have more to offer American Chopper and Monster Garage fans. Outlaw TV promises to be member-driven, in the sense that those who sign up and watch will have their voices heard and be able to directly influence the shows.
Jesse makes his vision for the service crystal clear, stating that "if the members pipe up and say it sucks, we'll end it. If not, we'll keep on going." The key message to take away here is that Outlaw TV will not take direction from a board of directors, and instead the viewers will have their say on the shows. What's more, this allows Jesse, Paul, and Billy to produce the content they feel is valuable, rather than what they're instructed to do.
Outlaw TV Boasts An All-Star Cast
No doubt these three names will be familiar to many readers of HotCars, just if they're not, here's a quick recap of the three stars. It's also worth mentioning that Outlaw TV has appointed David McKillop as their President. McKillop is best known for his work on Pawn Stars, Deadliest Catch, and American Pickers – although he hopes that Outlaw TV can be the culmination of his career.
Jesse James
Originally California-based, James rose to fame in the early 2000s with his chopper shop, West Coast Choppers, where he built some incredible machines over the years. Selected to host 'Monster Garage' on the Discovery Channel, his life has been nothing but eventful since.
What many fans didn't know about Jesse James is that, after the show finished in 2006, Jesse was busy with controversies surrounding his business, and even endured a whirlwind marriage with Sandra Bullock. In 2010, he moved to Austin, Texas, where he currently resides, indulging his creative side and entrepreneurial spirit. Jesse still owns West Coast Choppers, in addition to multiple other businesses.
Paul Teutul Sr
The booming voice of Orange County Choppers is one of the most recognizable faces (and mustaches) in the industry, thanks to the huge success of 'American Choppers'. If you're wondering what's happened to Paul Teutul Sr, it's not been a smooth ride for the icon, having filed for bankruptcy in 2018.
Although since Orange Country Choppers moved to Florida, things do seem to be improving for Paul Sr. Sticking close to his passion, Paul still manages everything Orange Country Choppers, which is still in business and thriving.
Billy Lane
Rising to fame for appearances on 'Biker Build-Off', another biker-focused show on the Discovery Channel, Lane is once again looking to showcase his impressive skills. He's Florida-based, and forging custom choppers is his bread-and-butter.

Orange County Choppers and West Coast Choppers make incredible bikes, but which are their best has been up for debate.
By now, you're probably itching to get a glimpse of what can be expected from Outlaw TV. Fortunately, Jesse James has us covered on his website, where you can sign up for a sneak peek of Outlaw TV. You'll be prompted to hand over your name and email address, in exchange for updates on the exciting new streaming service.
Once submitted, access to the trailer pops up, which shows us a couple of minutes of the guys explaining why they opted to create Outlaw TV while offering glimpses of the sort of content we can expect.
The one thing that shines clearly through in the trailer, is how excited the trio are to be realizing this venture of theirs. In the trailer, the guys say 'you don't get a lot of second chances', portraying how they see Outlaw TV as a second chance for them, to produce exactly what they want for their fans.
Jesse James On The Show's Premise: Creating Awesome Machines
Jesse James states in the trailer how the real heart of the show has to be the work. Finally, these guys have access to all the knowledge and tools they need to be able to realize their visions, without having to outsource complex and specialist work. This means members can watch them overcome all and any obstacles themselves, using just their hands and collective knowledge to create some truly awesome machines.
The trailer also shows classic cars, such as a custom 1940s Chevrolet, alongside a plethora of unique choppers and bikes. That gives us hope that there will be a decent dose of car content too, alongside the more traditional choppers to which the trio is accustomed.
The crew all have extensive experience in show business and building vehicles, with shows like American Choppers building some awesome custom bikes over the years. So, if that's still to be the main source of content, then we really are in for a treat.
