Mike Rowe Doesn't Have A Mansion Of His Own
For a person with such an amazing professional career, everyone would think that he's living a lavish lifestyle with a grand home, numerous cars and much more.
Despite being so rich, you may not believe about the fact that Rowe doesn't own a mansion to live. For past 16 years, he's been living a very simple life in an apartment.
He revealed this when one of his fans asked him if he lives in a mansion. He said,
"I don’t live in a mansion. I house sat in one once, and I kinda liked it. But I’ve never owned one, and have no plans to. My current apartment is very modest, relative to the zip code. It’s the same one I’ve come home to for the last 14 years."
"With the exception of a small smokestack that partially obscures Treasure Island and Alcatraz, the view is the best thing about it."
It would be perfectly appropriate for him to spend much of his income in a big house, cars and other luxury items.
