4. He has 150- Hours Worth of Tattoos on his Body
Miles admitted to the New York Post during an interview in September 2018 that he had spent somewhere between 150 to 175 hours on a tattooing bench. Given his penchant for tattoos, it is highly likely that the number has skyrocketed in the two-year-plus since the sit-down.
Among his tattoos is a famous piece with Kylie Jenner’s initials “KJ” inked on his hands. The tattoo is controversial enough, but it became scandalous for the fact that Kylie, who was 16 at the time, herself etched the tattoo on Miles’ hands.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health states that it is illegal for anyone under 18 years of age to perform tattooing procedures, and Jenner received criticism for her actions.

The Richies sure know how to make headlines, and while his parents and siblings were making headlines for their inspired work in showbiz, Miles made headlines in January 2019 for all the wrong reasons.
On January 21, 2019. Richie issued a bomb threat when he wasn’t allowed on a flight at London’s Heathrow International Airport. Miles, reportedly irate at not being able to board a flight, said he had a bomb in his bag and threatened to detonate it if not allowed to board.
When airport security arrived at the scene, Miles reportedly got into an altercation with one of them before being detained. Security let him go with caution “for communicating false information causing a bomb hoax, and battery”.

1. Has a Net Worth of $1 Million
It is estimated that Miles Richie has a net worth of $1 million.
