Often we get to see the characteristics of someones birth order fully revealed in the media. This was true with the rise and fall of Michael Avenatti. He first appeared in the public eye while representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against President Trump. Michael’s Double Birth order tells his story.
Siblings and Double Birth Order
Michael was born February 16, 1971 in Sacramento, California. When he was born, he had two older siblings Francene, born in 1957 and Vincent, born in 1960. These two siblings are 14 and 11 years older. This gave Michael a double birth order. He gained the Only birth order as he was nurtured like an only child as the older siblings were out of the house. When the space between siblings is four years, you gain a double birth order and show 50% of each birth order’s characteristics. In his case, the separation is 14 and 11 years; Michael shows more Only characteristics that that of a third born. He has an Only/Three Double Birth order.
Positive and Negative Characteristics
All birth orders express their traits in both positive and negative ways. They can use their powers for the good of others or for selfish reasons. You have freedom to choose.
Only Characteristics
The Only child is given a lot of self-confidence by the parents and with that, very little fear of authority figures. Only’s can be very self-centered and many are spoiled, as they do not have to share and get most anything they want as children. Being good students comes naturally to them and books are their first friends.
Third Born Characteristics
The Third born is a very intuitive and sensitive child and is a master at reading people. They have to understand at least 17 interrelationships between their parents and siblings soon after they are born. They see the world very differently than the other birth orders. They see the bigger picture of man and his relationship to nature, religion and the world.
Combining the Only and Three
When we combine the characteristic of both of these birth orders, we find a person that is very good at reading other people and the world around them. He is also unafraid to challenge other people and societies’ rules. If the Only side is stronger than he may use these skills for his own selfish reasons and not for the good of society.
Education: Interest in Politics
Michael graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a political science degree. While in school, he worked for a consulting syndicate for Rahm Emanuel. Law school was George Washington University where he worked for Professor Jonathan Turley on issues about the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. He graduated first in his class.
Career Choices
In 1989, he worked part-time for Democratic Senator Dick Gephardt. Next, he worked with the research group managed by Rahm Emanuel, then the O’Melveny and Myers law firm in Los Angeles. This firm represented the Ron Goldman Family against Mr. O.J. Simpson. While employed by the firm he represented Christina Aguilera, and Don Henley of the singing group “The Eagles”. In 2018, he reached out to “The Rachael Maddow Show” with footage of a young child in the custody of immigration officials.
Positive Activities
His law career began with favorable verdicts against large corporations, Kimberley Clark, Halyard Health, Service Corporation International, and against the accounting firm KPMG. He also received the Alumni Recognition award from his law school in 2010.
Fall from Grace
Arrested in March 2019, and charged with 36 counts of perjury, embezzlement, and tax evasion. Cases included 2 million dollars embezzled from NBA player Hassan Whiteside, 4 million dollar settlement from paraplegic client Geoffrey Johnson, $300,000 from Stormy Daniels and extorting Nike for 22.5 million. This put an end to his political career and a run against President Donald Trump.
Jail Time & Rehabilitation
Just before his sentencing, the crying Avenatti said, “Fighting for the little guy against the Goliaths. For years I did just that, but then I lost my way, I betrayed my own values, my friends, my family, and myself. I betrayed my profession. I’ve learned all the fame, notoriety, and money in the world is meaningless…..” Was this a true statement or just an attempt to manipulate his image, only time will tell?
