Mark Wahlberg | Actor, Entrepreneur, and Producer | $300 Million

We first met the actor as Mark Wahlberg in the ‘90s, during which he played many small roles, including Basketball Diaries with Leonardo. Finally, he won the Oscar nomination for best supporting actor with The Departed and began to embark on a new life journey. But Mark Wahlberg’s transition to acting proved to be the real game-changer for his career track.

Since then, he has starred in some of the most successful blockbusters—including The Basketball Diaries, The Italian Job, Transformers: Age of Extinction, and The Departed, for which he received a Golden Globe nod. Wahlberg also found success as a producer, funding many of the films he has starred in. He gets executive producer credit for the show Entourage—a gig that helped him earn $3 million annually. The show was on the air from 2004 to 2011.
