HGTV continues to release great content, such as 'Island Of Bryan'. Fans have become very invested into the series, wondering exactly how much it costs to stay on the island and if it is worth it?
The network continues to release new content like the series 'Moving For Love'. Someone who isn't new to the network is none other than Mike Holmes. We'll take a look at his career in the spotlight and how he spends his massive fortune of $30 million.
How Did Mike Holmes Start In Reality TV?
Making it in reality TV on a platform like HGTV was never something Mike Holmes aspired to do. However, it all started with a simple DIY project on-camera after a request and from then on, the ball continued to roll for the handyman.
Holmes does admit that until this very day, he thinks about quitting filming altogether, though what keeps him going is the fact that he's educating others out there.
Here's what he had to say about his ongoing longevity on television, "There have been many times over the course of my career that I have wanted to quit filming. Then I think of all the homeowners who are looking for education and awareness, and I feel a sense of responsibility toward them."
"When I get a message from a mother telling me she had her tiles tested for asbestos after watching an episode of my show-that makes me feel good. Or when Frank’s rant on an electrical DIY job gets people thinking twice about attempting their own electrical work, I know our message is getting across."
Although Holmes left HGTV a few times for other projects, he continues to be in the spotlight. With a net worth of $30 million, fans are wondering what the master fixer upper spends his hard-earned money on. The answer might not be too surprising.
What Does Mike Holmes Spend His Net Worth On?
Despite the boom thanks to 'Holmes on Homes', Mike Holmes remained extremely hungry and driven to expand. It is said that his producer had a different vision and ultimately, Holmes wanted to expand. His expansion worked, as his show was also picked up in the US.
In terms of his spending habits, Holmes doesn't have a history of buying fancy clothes or cars, instead, he is all about reinvesting into different business ventures. One of them, was the coffee business as Holmes ventured into Nescafé, "When they approached me about the commercial, I said if they can relate the commercial to what I do and keep it real, I'd say yes to it, because the real truth is I drink Nescafé and have for years."
According to The List, some of his other investments included launching his line of workwear, aiding in advanced green techniques in terms of building and even launching his own magazine, though that attempt did not end well...
Holmes is back on TV these days and this time around, it is with a unique twist.
Where Is Mike Holmes Now?
Mike Holmes continues with his reality TV projects, this time around he's joining his kids Sherry and Mike for the series 'Holmes Family Rescue'. The family attempts to aid families that experienced botched jobs around their homes... something most of us can say we've experienced at one point or another.
In addition, Holmes remains active on social media doing what he does best and that's aiding families. He recently gave out a great tip on being careful with contractors, especially when it comes to giving out personal stuff like your house key.
"I know a family who fired their contractor because of a number of issues. Well, that contractor showed up at their house unannounced at 10 PM, with their four daughters sleeping."
"How did he get in? He had never returned their key. We had been installing smart locks on our projects for years before that, but this just proved how important they are for security. If you lose a physical key (or give it to someone), how will you attempt to track it down? With an access code on a smart lock, you can just delete the code."
Mike is still doing what he does best and that's give out great and knowledgeable information.
