Mark Wahlberg has a net worth of $225 million, but that isn’t stopping him from diversifying his business opportunities. The major actor and Hollywood producer is getting into the car business. Wahlberg is opening up his own car dealership in Columbus, Ohio
The 46-year-old actor along with his business partner Jay Feldman purchased the Bobby Layman Chevrolet dealership and will wisely give it a little more name recognition by calling it “Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet.” “I am continuously looking for ways to innovate my brand and engage in businesses I am passionate about,” Wahlberg said in a statement. “I love cars and the chance to work with an experienced, proven dealer-operator like Jay and represent an iconic brand like Chevrolet inspired me to get involved.”
Wahlberg’s “side hustles” already consist of the massively successful Wahlburgers restaurant chain that is headed by his chef brother Paul Wahlberg. The burger chain currently has 26 locations around the country and is the basis for the A&E TV show Wahlburgers that stars his New Kids On The Block brother Donnie Wahlberg.
Marky Mark also owns a movie-production company, the health supplement company Performance Inspired, and a fitness water called AQUAhydrate that he co-owns with Diddy. Wahlberg also owns an equity interest in the Barbados Tridents cricket franchise. This is quite the portfolio for a former underwear model and anybody else for that matter.
