Name: Tim ClappAge: 28Gross salary: $12,000Newlywed Clapp has spent the last year performing a transatlantic balancing act. Immediately after getting married last March, his wife Annabelle was forced back to her native England, where she’s been waiting for her permanent residency to go through. In the meantime, Clapp has been flying to see her every three months, living in a van and couch surfing to cut down on expenses and working part-time at Neptoon Records. He also has his own record label, Kingfisher Bluez, and performs as singer-songwriter Tim the Mute.
