Knievel downsizes assets amid jail term and debts
Evel Knievel says jail time cut his earnings and left him with only two houses and a few boats including one 80 foot yacht. He sold all but three speed boats and the largest jeweled ring, and will be released from county jail next Wednesday. Actor Eddie Albert, at 69, claims his body is his merchandise while testifying at a Senate hearing supporting a federal nutrition program.
