Mark Wahlberg is both a dedicated actor and an enthusiastic entrepreneur. From doing some of the biggest movies and getting some much-loved roles to starting his own burger franchise with his brothers, there isn’t much the actor has left untouched when it comes to his goals. In such a case, it becomes integral to see just how far he has come in his life. Not only did he have a rough childhood, but he found himself in some tight spots with the law time and again.
Even with a failed career in rap, he found his calling as an actor and as a businessman. His burger company, Wahlburgers came into being and he loved the response, and from then on it grew. Not only that, but he has also invested in other ventures to support businesses.
Will Ferrell Would Never Eat Mark Wahlberg’s Wahlburger
There are often instances when celebrities go head to head against each other in friendly battles. Whether it is via rap battles or simple insults, there is no stopping them from having fun. One particular instance found Will Ferrell sitting face to face with Mark Wahlberg in BBC Radio 1’s segment, Playground Insults.
“If I was on a desert island and I had a choice between eating a Wahlburger and a raw dead fish, I would eat the dead fish.”
While bantering with each other, both of them sprouted insults, neither of them taking them to heart. However, one insult in particular shocked not only Wahlberg but also the hosts. Ferrell confessed that there would be nothing in this world that could make him eat a Wahlburger. He joked about how if he had the option to eat a dead raw fish and a burger from his company, he would rather choose the former, even if he’s on a deserted island.
Mark Wahlberg’s Family Burger Chain, Wahlburgers
According to Enterpreneur, Mark Wahlberg’s Wahlburgers has an annual revenue as massive as that $100 Million. He started the burger chain with his brothers, one of whom is the head chef of the company as well. He found Wahlburgers back in 2011 alongside his brother Donnie Wahlberg. Their brother Paul became the chef of the restaurant and all three of them got an opportunity to work together.
So far Wahlburgers has been developing greatly without a break. The company is greatly expanding and despite the hesitation that Will Ferrell showed, it cannot be denied that his business is a success.
