What Is Mark Wahlberg’s Net Worth?

Early life Of Mark Wahlberg

Mark Wahlberg was born on June 5, 1971, in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts, USA, in the family of Donald Edward Wahlberg Sr., and Elma Elaine. His mother already had six children from the previous marriage, and then gave birth to three more children, while being married to Donald – of whom Mark was the youngest. In 1982, Donald and Elma divorced, and Mark after that lived with his parents in turn.

He was a difficult teenager: at the age of 13 he was caught by the police because he used and sold drugs, and at 15 he was twice caught insulting his classmates and throwing stones at them.

Mark knew that more than anything else in the world, he wanted to get out of there and never return and that he didn’t have to break the law to do it. He sought assistance from the parish priest in order to firmly engage on the path of correction. He subsequently informed his “group” that he was leaving them, and he was subjected to several harsh beatings before being left.
