Mark Wahlberg, the versatile A-list actor and adventurous entrepreneur, recently made real-estate waves by selling his lavish townhouse at The Summit Club in Las Vegas for a cool $16.6 million.
Wahlberg’s representatives have been tight-lipped about the reasons behind the sale — and whether the actor-turned-businessman has any plans to uproot from Southern Nevada, where he has resided for a little over a year.
This enigmatic move has left many speculating about what’s next for the 52-year-old, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
The townhouse, a sprawling 7,327-square-foot, two-story residence, was never intended to be Wahlberg’s long-term primary abode. Instead, it appears to be just one piece of his real-estate puzzle.
Wahlberg also holds a substantial 2.5-acre plot of land within the same community, indicating that his real estate portfolio in Las Vegas remains substantial.
Wahlberg, accompanied by his wife, the model Rhea Durham, and their four children — Ella (20), Michael (17), Brendan (15), and Grace (13) — seems to have found a comfortable niche in Sin City. The family’s reported affinity for the city suggests that they may not be packing their bags anytime soon.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, Wahlberg has been fervently pursuing his “Hollywood 2.0” vision, a mission to establish studio facilities and create 10,000 jobs in the Las Vegas region.
His diverse business ventures include owning multiple F45 fitness centers in Las Vegas, promoting his successful Municipal apparel brand, and overseeing the Wahlburger restaurant franchises at Grand Bazaar Shops at the Horseshoe and Mandalay Place. Wahlberg even showcased his bartending skills, pouring his own Flecha Azul Tequila at various events.
In addition to his entrepreneurial endeavors, Wahlberg has been actively involved in the local film scene, shooting two movies, “The Family Plan” and “Flight Risk,” in and around Las Vegas. His ambition is to have “The Family Plan” premiere in Las Vegas during the holiday season, a move that solidifies his commitment to his newfound home.
Wahlberg’s deep-rooted connections in Las Vegas and his relentless pursuit of business opportunities in the region make his potential departure seem like an unlikely plot twist.
The Post has reached out to Wahlberg’s representatives for comment.
Meanwhile, Wahlberg sold his longtime California estate for $55 million early this year following a $32.5 million price cut.
