Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg was the celebrity who earned the most in real estate profits in 2023, according to a study by the real estate website, Agent Advice.

According to the study, which analyzed more than 130 celebrity property purchases since January 2023, Wahlberg made $46.7 million in real estate profits from selling his 30,500-square-foot property in Beverley Park, Los Angeles, for $55 million. Wahlberg initially bought the land for $8.35 million in 2009. He also sold a townhouse he owned in Las Vegas' exclusive Summerlin neighborhood for $16.6 million in September 2023.

It's not the actor's first foray into real estate—the Hollywood star has amassed his wealth by buying and selling several multimillion-dollar properties over the years.

Wahlberg has an estimated net worth of $400 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, a fortune he has built from his successful career in Hollywood, business ventures, endorsement deals, and real estate.

Film

Wahlberg has earned millions from his successful career in Hollywood as an actor and producer.

He has acted in blockbuster films such as "Ted," " Planet of the Apes," " Transformers" and "The Departed," among many others. Wahlberg is also said to have backend deals with studios, meaning he gets a portion of the film's profits—and many of his films have made hundreds of millions at the box office.

The actor earned an estimated $17 million in salary for "Transformers: The Last Knight" in 2017, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film went on to earn more than $600 million at the global box office. However, Wahlberg's biggest box-office hit is "Transformers: The Age of Extinction" (2014), which made about $1.1 billion worldwide.

Wahlberg is a producer, too. The Oscar-nominated actor has his own production and distribution company, Closest to the Hole Productions. The company has produced many of Wahlberg's films such as "Deepwater Horizon," "Patriots Day," "Spenser Confidential," "Mile 22," and many others.

Wahlberg was also the executive producer for TV shows such as HBO's "Ballers" and "Boardwalk Empire," and "Entourage" through his company. According to a 2017 estimate by The Hollywood Reporter, Wahlberg's fees for executive producing these shows were between $50,000 and $75,000 per episode.

Businesses

Wahlberg makes millions from his businesses, too, which include a wide array of ventures from a burger franchise to gyms and car dealerships, a clothing line, and more.

Wahlburgers

Wahlberg founded the burger restaurant, Wahlburgers, in 2014 along with his brothers, Donnie and Paul. The fast-casual restaurant has more than 50 locations, including ones in Hawaii and Australia.

The family even had a reality show about the business called Wahlburgers from 2014 to 2019 on A&E, featuring all three brothers. Wahlburger also became the official burger of the Boston Red Sox in 2022—the Wahlbergs' hometown is Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Fitness and Nutrition Businesses

Wahlberg is also invested in F45 Training, a chain of gyms with 1,700 studios and 3,300 franchises in 67 countries. The company went public in 2021 with a valuation of about $1.4 billion, with Wahlberg holding a 1.73% stake in the company, according to Reuters.

The actor also is invested in Aquahydrate, a brand of electrolyte water, and sports nutrition company Performance Inspired, which sells products such as protein powders and supplements.

Car Dealership

Wahlberg owns several car dealerships in Ohio. He first launched his car dealership, Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet in Columbus, Ohio, in 2018 in partnership with auto dealer Jay Feldman. Wahlberg has since acquired several other dealerships in Ohio with Feldman, and owned five of them in the state as of 2021.

Endorsement Deals

Wahlberg also has had lucrative brand partnerships with major companies such as Calvin Klein Inc., GNC Holdings LLC, and AT&T Inc. In 2017, for example, the actor was paid an estimated $12 million to $13 million for being in AT&T DirectTV commercials, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
