'Undercover Boss': What is Laurent Therivel's net worth? US Cellular CEO lives in house worth $2.6M
‘Undercover Boss’ will see CEO of US cellular, Laurent Therivel, donning a disguise and learn more about the organization he is leading. While undercover, Therivel will be assisting a network engineer and changing the filter in what appears to be a large computer in the cell tower.
Now, the engineer doesn’t know that he is actually talking to the CEO of the company and tells him that it’s his job to change the filter from now on. The entire filter is filled with dead and alive flies and as soon as he opens the vent, a whole bunch of flies comes flying out of there. That’s just one of the things he would be experiencing during the show and it might really be problematic for him. Therivel will experience what College HUNKS Hauling Junks and Moving founders Omar Soliman and Nick Friedman and Sharon M Leite, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe went through as well.

According to customers, the company allows users to purchase their devices and gives them quite a wide range of flexibility. US cellular's "Shared Connect" and 4G LTE plans work in all fifty states. This is one of the most important features for those who want to use their phones while they are on the road.
One of the users, who have been using US cellular for 10 years, said that the services have been great and praised the customer service as well. Meanwhile, one of the users revealed that the wireless carrier was able to get a signal near Salmon River, where most of the networks aren’t available.
