2. Robbie Knievel

The son of the man who helped forge the first-name of American daredevils began following in the footsteps of his famous father from a young age, and Robbie Knievel even went on tour with his dad for some time. Knievel has also made money in other business ventures, including the Knievel’s Wild Ridetelevision show and a video game of that same name. The man who has completed hundreds of daredevil jumps during his career made rather unfortunate headlines in the spring of 2015 when he was charged with felony DUI, not the first time that Knievel had been linked with such an offense.
