Inside Mark Wahlberg’s crazy rich life: the Uncharted star’s luxury Patek Philippe watches, Lamborghini and Porsche supercars, rare Air Jordan sneakers and US$100 million Hollywood mansion
Mark Wahlberg doesn’t lead an ordinary life today, but his journey to becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest film stars had a decidedly rocky start.
“I did a lot of things that I regretted, and I certainly paid for my mistakes,” Wahlberg said of his criminal past, which even saw him sent to prison, in an interview with ABC News in 2007.
Fortunately for film fans, Wahlberg turned his life around before becoming an actor – with a reported net worth of around US$350 million and a lifestyle to match. And he’s set to top up his bank balance with the February 17 release of new action film Uncharted.
If we know anything about Marky Mark (formerly of the Funky Bunch, his pre-acting stage name) it’s that he is the epitome of living life in the fast lane. From expensive supercars to luxurious timepieces, he loves to splash his cash as much as he works hard for it. Here we take a look inside the star’s crazy rich life.
String of supercars
According to GQ, the 50-year-old star has an array of sports cars at his disposal including a Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster, Bentley Azure T and Porsche Panamera – all part of his US$2 million car collection. For a family outing, he opts for the Toyota Sienna. He described it as the “Mintmobile’’ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show due to the endless supply of mints he saved in there.
Wahlberg’s passion for cars started when he used to work as a mechanic as a teenager, and now all grown up the Max Payne actor once reportedly shelled out more than half a million dollars for his distinctive 2014 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, complete with two-tone colour scheme and rear-hinged doors.
A collection of Rolex and Patek Philippe luxury watches
From Patek Phillipe to Rolexes, The Italian Job star sure loves his exquisite timepieces. According to the D’Marge website, the actor owns dozens of Rolexes and is often the first person to receive hot new products straight from the watchmaker.
Meanwhile, his Patek Philippe Reference 6002 Sky Moon Tourbillon – the brand’s most complicated watch – has a 44mm case in rose gold with 12 complications and a front dial that combines Grand Feu champlevé and cloisonné enamelling.
A multimillion-dollar Beverly Hills manor
The Wahlbergs live in a 30,000 sq ft French-style manor in Beverly Hills, which YouTube channel The Richest has described as a “US$100 million mansion”.
It features 11 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, a full-size basketball court, pool, wine cellar, spa and golf putting green. The spacious backyard is enveloped with lush greens while the interior shows coffered ceilings, limestone floors and a fireplace.
But Wahlberg’s prized room is, of course, his state-of-the-art gym filled with every fitness equipment piece one can think of: stacks of dumbbells, cardio machines, and many more fearsome-looking contraptions.
During the 2020 quarantine, Wahlberg treated fans to a sneak peek inside his French palace-inspired home, sharing a throng of videos and pictures of his wife Rhea Durham and their four adorable children. The family moved into their purpose-built mansion in 2013 after selling his previous seven-bedroom, 10-bathroom estate, which went for more than US$12 million.
His precious Air Jordans …
While he loves his fast cars and Swiss luxury watches, Wahlberg is also a fashionista. He has often sported head-to-toe Louis Vuitton during his public appearances, but his most enthusiast collection is definitely his Air Jordan trainers. According to People, The Departed actor had well over 100 pairs of kicks, which were valued at around US$100,000 in 2015.
At a Boston Celtics game in 2020, his young son Brendan sported a pair of the rare Air Jordan IV Wahlburgers trainers – an exclusive collaboration between the actor’s restaurant chain and the Jordan brand in 2018.
He quarantined in a US$400,000 Australian mansion
When you’re Mark Wahlberg, there is no other way to quarantine but like a king. Back in 2020, while shooting a commercial for bookmakers Ladbrokes, the Boogie Nights star received government permission to self isolate with his crew at a luxury retreat outside Byron Bay, Australia. The house came with a US$400,000 fortnightly price tag, round-the-clock security team and a private ambulance on standby.
He reportedly quarantined for two weeks and insisted on bringing his own gym equipment from the US.
