Micki Velton is probably best known for being the ex-wife of famous British-American TV personality – a presenter, actor as well as a musician and even politician, Jerry Springer, to whom she was married for 21 years before splitting up.
Micki Velton’s Early Life and Education
There isn’t any relevant information about Micki Velton’s early life and childhood at all – the names of her parents as well as her date of birth haven’t been disclosed to the public yet. However, it has been publically revealed that she is of American nationality and of white ethnicity. Keeping a low profile ever since, Micki had never revealed details about her educational background either. Speaking about her professional career, she worked for the American corporation specialized in production of personal care, cleaning agents and hygienic products – Procter & Gamble.
Micki Velton’s marriage with Jerry Springer
Micki appears to be a relatively ordinary person, and she is popular mainly because of her relationship with famous American celebrity Jerry Springer. They first met in the early 1970s, while Springer was serving as a Councilman of Cincinnati, and shortly after they began their relationship. In the course of the next couple of years, Micki and Jerry deepened their relationship and decided to tie the knot – their private wedding ceremony was attended by friends and family, and held in June 1973 without any public attention. Three years later in 1976, they were blessed with a child, their one and only daughter named Katie who, unfortunately, was born with visual impairment.
Micki Velton and Jerry Springer’s divorce
Although it looked like their love was blooming and everything seemed quite fine, the couple divorced in 1994, after 21 years of married life. As they kept their marriage quite secretive, and far from the media’s eye, the exact reasons for the split were never fully revealed. One of the possible reasons could be Springer’s marital infidelity, as he admitted that in 1971 he hired a prostitute, so it is a popular belief that Micki filed for divorce after Jerry’s confession.
Life After the Divorce
After splitting with Jerry Springer, Micki Velton kept the details about her personal life even more private, as there isn’t any information about her later love life or career. Although they don’t maintain any kind of contact now, Micki is in touch with their only child Katie. It is speculated that Micki is in her 70s and that she is focused on her career in entrepreneurship. However, these rumors have not been confirmed.
Micki Velton’s Net Worth
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this famous ex-wife has accumulated so far? How rich Micki Velton is? Speaking of the mid-2018, due to a a lack of information about Micki Velton’s more detailed professional career, and in addition to her low-profile lifestyle, it is almost impossible to determine the exact amount of her net worth. However, taking into consideration her divorce from her ex-husband Jerry Springer with whom she welcomed one child and spent 21 years and whose current wealth is estimated at over $75 million, it could be concluded that Micki Velton’s current wealth revolves around a sum which can provide quite a decent lifestyle.

I think technology has changed the way we see things. Human behavior has not changed in the last 3,000 years. There's nothing that has ever been on our show that isn't in the Bible, that isn't in literature, that isn't in Shakespeare.

On running for Senate - "I would love to have done it. But I have to have seperation from the TV show. Research showed I could win, but people would want the show to be over before the campaign. It's hard to think about Iraq in the evening when I'm dancing with transvestities in the afternoon."

I would never watch my show. I'm not interested in it.
