Mark Wahlberg, the well-known actor, is setting a new stage for success in Las Vegas. He’s planning to build a Hollywood studio in the city, a move that’s projected to create about 10,000 jobs. Wahlberg’s goal is not only to provide a more affordable lifestyle for his family but also to equip locals with skills needed both in front of and behind the camera. This way, they can seize the career opportunities his studio will offer.
His proposed studio is set to significantly boost the average salary in the region by $100,000. This is fantastic news for locals, as it promises an enhanced standard of living. Wahlberg envisions his studio as a magnet that will draw people to Las Vegas in search of a better life.
In search of this improved lifestyle, Wahlberg and his family have moved from California to Nevada. The cost of living in Nevada is considerably lower than in California, allowing his employees to upgrade from a three-bedroom house to a six-bedroom house at half the price.
“When I moved here, I brought probably like 15 or 20 people that work with me also moving here,” shared Wahlberg. “They went from three-bedroom houses that they were really struggling to pay rent for. And now they have a six-bedroom house. And it’s, you know, half the cost.”
“And, you know, they walk their dogs,” he continued. “They’re in a gated community. They’ve got the school right there two blocks down the road.”
“It’s just a much better lifestyle here and more affordable.”
In addition to providing economic benefits, Wahlberg has commended Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo (R) for promoting job creation outside the traditional gaming industry. Wahlberg sees immense growth potential in Nevada, with job creation serving as a catalyst for regional economic development.
Wahlberg, a devout Catholic, often attributes his personal growth and success to his faith.
“[Faith] it’s everything. It’s afforded me so many things. God didn’t come to save the saints, He came to save the sinners. We’ve all had things and issues in our lives. We want to be better versions of ourselves, and through focusing my faith, it’s allowed me to do that.”
Wahlberg’s studio isn’t the first of its kind outside Los Angeles. Tyler Perry, the creator of the successful Madea movie franchise, operates a 330-acre studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
