For many years, it was widely believed that it was a massive step down for movie stars to make the transition to headlining a TV show. More recently, however, it has become more common for major movie stars to jump into the television pool. For example, Apple TV+’s The Morning Show features an incredibly rich and famous movie star cast.
There are two main reasons why so many movie stars are making the leap to television. First off, the world is in the midst of a golden age of television and movie stars want to be a part of producing that kind of awesome content. Secondly, the top TV stars make lots of money these days as evidenced by the fact that people like Entourage’s Adrian Grenier accumulate loads of money. With that in mind, it begs two main questions, how rich is Grenier, and how does he spend his money?
How Rich Is Adrian Grenier?
During Adrian Grenier’s lengthy career, he has enjoyed a great deal of success. Most notably, Grenier starred in the HBO series Entourage from 2004 until 2011. For quite a while, Entourage was one of the most popular television shows and it won a slew of awards as well. On top of that, once the show Entourage came to an end, Grenier and the rest of the show’s cast went on to star in a spin-off movie.
Once Entourage came to an end and the spin-off movie was released, Adrian Grenier took a major step back from the spotlight. In fact, even though he recently starred in a miniseries called Clickbait, people have been left wondering if Grenier gave up acting entirely at times in the past. Due to his decision to act less, it is clear that Grenier gave up the opportunity to make a lot of money over the years. However, Grenier is still quite wealthy as he has a $12 million fortune according to celebritynetworth.com.
How Does Adrian Grenier Spend His Money?
As a result of Adrian Grenier’s impressive fortune, he has been able to make some pretty massive purchases over the years. For example, according to reports, Grenier has spent $345,000 on two cars, a Toyota Prius and a Ferrari 575M Superamerica. However, based on the fact that Grenier has posted an image of himself in the middle of a tightly packed airplane, it seems clear that he saves money by not always traveling in luxury.
To the surprise of many, after living in New York City for years, Adrian Grenier opted to move to Texas and buy a farm that is located 45 minutes away from Austin. When talking to People about his move to Texas, Grenier explained, “I want more now” in a clear reference to changing his priorities in life. As of the time of this writing, the figure that Grenier paid for his farm is unknown but he certainly spent a good amount of money.
On top of his farm and expensive cars, Adrian Grenier has been using his fortune to make investments in the future in two ways. First off, Grenier is a big believer and investor in cryptocurrencies. Secondly, Grenier partnered with World View, a space tourism company. Taking on the title of World View’s Chief Earth Advocate, Grenier works to "support World View’s mission to rediscover Earth, inspiring new perspectives on the planet and encouraging deeper respect for it as a living organism”.
How Does Adrian Grenier Share His Wealth?
In an ideal world, anyone who rises to fame and fortune would turn around to pull the people they love up with them. Sadly, however, it is no secret that some stars care so much about accumulating wealth that they don’t bother to help out the people they love. When it comes to Adrian Grenier, however, he certainly has spent a lot of money to give someone he loves a wonderful place to live.
In 2015, Adrian Grenier spent a truly staggering $2.05 million to buy a Brooklyn home for his mother. At that time, Grenier owned a home where he lived in the same neighborhood but as was previously mentioned, he has since moved to Texas. In 2021, Grenier recorded a video in which he gave a tour of the house he built for his mom. In the video, Grenier makes it clear that on top of the original purchase price of the home he bought for his mom, he has also spent money to do extensive renovations to make the home more sustainable. Amazingly enough, it has also been revealed that Grenier paid $10,000 on a special self-cleaning toilet for his mom’s house.
