Mark Wahlberg is doing the unlikely — making absolute bank in Las Vegas — but rather than gambling his fortune away, a source exclusively tells In Touch he’s been making savvy casino and resort investments to add to his booming business empire and it’s all thanks to a 20-year-old chip on the actor’s shoulder.
“Mark is playing the long game when it comes to his residency in Nevada and his relationships with a number of casinos and resorts there,” says a friend of the actor-turned-businessman. “He is earning these companies’ trust, day by day, and not by accident.”
The Departed star, 53, officially moved his family from Los Angeles to the City of Sin in 2022 for what he told People at the time was a call ultimately made for his children. “It’s a place where my kids can thrive and do their thing and pursue their interests,” he told the outlet in March 2024.
