This hero went out on apparently quite the drinking session to celebrate getting a new job and woke up with a fireman next to him.

He was found atop a shopping centre in Cambridge on Saturday after having somehow climbed the fire escape onto the curved glass roof.

A court heard that he’d been on a bender celebrating his new job before scaling the building. He first denied the offence but when police asked if he had caused a public nuisance he said: “Yeah, I was found on the roof so I suppose I did.”

His solicitor said: “He is very embarrassed and ashamed of his behaviour and in no way does he seek to diminish or minimize the impact of his actions on the public and the emergency services… He had gone out on Saturday to celebrate a new job, clearly he drank too much and has no recollection how he ended up on that roof.”

Shops had to be evacuated and a cordon was put in place while he was rescued. He pleaded guilty. Let’s hope he doesn’t lose that new job.

Mr. Brainwash: $10 million
The Frenchman Thierry Guetta aka Mr. Brainwash began his professional career as a photographer and filmographer. This career choice lead him into the venture with the British street artist Banksy. This venture produced the best-known street art documentary Exit Through The Giftshop.. Banksy convinced Thierry Guetta to become a street artist himself and Mr. Brainwash was born. Mr. Brainwash puts on a show he names Life is Beautiful and virtually becomes an overnight millionaire. The profits of the exhibition are reported to have been €1 million. Adding that to the other sell out shows and the huge commercial success of Exit Through The Giftshop, the wealth of Mr. Brainwash sums up to roughly estimated $10 million

Shepard Fairey: $15 million
The Obey Giant Shepard Fairey is an artist with great entrepreneurial skills. Starting off with Andre the Giant Has a Posse posters, the American artist has built an empire from the ground. His progressive street style earned him the design for the 2008 Obama election campaign. From there, there was no stopping the giant. Shepard Fairey collaborated with Urban Outfitters to produce and sell his own fashion line at their stores. Just think about how many Obey caps or tees you’ve seen. While keeping this in mind also think about the starting prices for his originals (20K).

Banksy: $20 million
Most people would expect the world famous, yet infamous Banksy to be the wealthiest street artist. No, he is not, someone else is, but we’ll get to that. The prices for his artwork have skyrocketed, with the most expensive painting achieving over $2 million at an auction. The original artworks lie anywhere between $20.000 – $250.000 at galleries. This amounts to a net worth of $20 million.

David Choe – £200 million
Who? Well In 2005, David Choe was approached by the media startup Facebook. Facebook had just moved up the office space ladder and commissioned Choe to paint a large mural at their new headquarters (Pic above). For his time and effort they wanted to pay him $60.000. Choe, however opted that he’d rather have 3.7 million in shares of the company instead. When Facebook enlisted at the stock exchange the shares were valued at $56 each. And so David Choe became the richest street artist in the world.
