Speaking to The Times, he said: 'I don't actually know, because my accountant deals with all of that. I just do it job by job. I put my money into a savings account, which I don’t ever touch.'
He continued: 'Over the years my earnings have been up and down, but they’ve always been in the same ballpark. They’ve never really gone too high or dropped too low and ever since (TOWIE) it’s been a comfortable wage.'
When asked whether he is a saver or a spender, Mark admitted he has 'never been extravagant' - aside from one flashy purchase when he first found fame.
He said: 'I was a 23-year-old lad, so I bought myself a nice sports car, but I only kept it for a year as the insurance was expensive and I didn’t really want to be flash.'
