Hayley Parsons Net Worth: Hayley Parsons is a British businesswoman who has a net worth of $142.5 million. She has accumulated her wealth as a founder of Gocompare.com, a British financial services comparison website that makes detailed comparisons between vehicles, homes, pet insurance providers and whatever else you’d name. A wales native, she left school with six GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education; the usual for a student is between 8 and 10) at age 16 because she felt there was so much she could be doing outside school´s walls. Since then she started to get into the insurance business. She worked for Admiral, in Cardiff, for fourteen years. Admiral created Confused.com, a price comparison site. Parsons escalated the ladder of the company until she was the second highest position at the confused.com operation. Parsons decided to quit confused.com to go on to opening her own insurance price comparison site with the extra added feature of including not only prices but characteristics of products compared. This is how, in 2006, she founded GoCompare.com. GoCompare.com is the only price comparison website that has been invited to be a member of the British Insurance Broker´s Association (BIBA). The site was funded by insurance industry veteran, Tom Duggan. Since its foundation, Parsons´s Company has grown and provides more than 2 million quotes every month. Parson wanted to hire someone that would leave a mark for the sites advertising, so in 2009, she hired Welsh tenor Wynne Evans who played the fictional Italian tenor GioCompario. The commercials were aired and were voted twice by the British as the “most irritating advertisement”. Having a strong determination, this did not affect Parsons´s site and continues to grow and produce substantial revenues. For her many achievements, Hayley Parsons was awarded an OBE in 2012. Currently, she lives with her boyfriend and their two sons in St. Mellons, Cardiff.

David Arquette’s biography, fact, career, awards, net worth & life story

Born on September 8, 1971 to a family of entertainers, David Arquette is the youngest brother of actors Rosanna Arquette, Patricia Arquette, and Alexis Arquette, and the son of veteran bit-part actor Lewis Arquette. During David’s early years, the family lived in a California commune but moved to Los Angeles so that Rosanna could pursue an acting career. David first brought his quirky, eccentric persona to the small screen in 1989, with a television adaptation of the film The Outsiders. He had his big screen debut in 1992 when he performed in a number of films including Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Where the Day Takes You. Small roles in subsequent features followed, including 1994’s Airheads, but it wasn’t until his turn as a bumbling deputy in Wes Craven’s Scream (1996) that he began to receive wider recognition. The same year, his visibility was further increased by a secondary role in Beautiful Girls and his turn as a struggling prostitute in Johns.1997 brought with it Scream’s highly successful sequel, the accurately titled Scream 2. In addition, it brought Dream With Fishes, a film that Arquette both acted in and co-produced. 1999 was a busy year for the actor, signaling that Hollywood was finding more room to accommodate his offbeat talent. In addition to his recurring spot in a series of creepy AT&T commercials, Arquette had major roles in three movies, the Drew Barrymore romantic comedy Never Been Kissed, Muppets From Space, and Antonia Bird’s much maligned Ravenous. Arquette further increased his Hollywood visibility with his marriage to Courteney Cox, whom he wed in April 1999.
