The actor now enjoys a net worth of $400 million, but most of this money isn’t attributed to his movie earnings. The Oscar-nominated star has only made around 10 percent of his total income through his acting career, while the majority of his net worth has come through his involvement in various businesses and real estate.
Wahlberg has entered the food industry with his very successful burger chain titled Wahlburgers, which currently has 90 locations across the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, since its inception in 2011. In 2013, he purchased an equity interest in the Barbados Tridents cricket team along with putting his money into the beverage industry by investing in Aquahydrate in 2015.
In 2016, Wahlberg founded Performance Inspired, a sports nutrition company along with making some lucrative real estate investments as well. In March 2019, Wahlberg and a private equity firm called FOD Capital bought a stake in the F45 fitness franchise. All of these business ventures ensured that theBoogie Nightsstar did not rely on movies alone to become one of Hollywood’s most successful stars.
