Mark Wright has claimed he has no idea how much he earned last year, as he revealed the extravagant purchase he made after finding fame on TOWIE.
The TV personality, 39, who has a reported net worth of £13,851,512, rose to fame on TOWIE in 2010.
He featured prominently in the first three series as a main cast member before leaving the reality show in October 2011, later making occasional cameo appearances in 2012, 2014, and 2016.
Since quitting the Essex-based reality show, Mark has carved out a successful career as a TV presenter and now hosts a radio show on Heart FM alongside his pal Olly Murs.
He also lives in a sprawling Essex mansion, which he built and designed with his wife, Michelle Keegan, 38.
However, despite his business savvy and property ventures, Mark revealed in a new interview that he doesn't actually know how much he earned last year, because he leaves his finances entirely in the hands of his accountant.

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.'
The presenter added that splashing out on designer clothes or buying bottles of champagne in clubs has never been his thing.
Instead, he said he prefers spending his money on golf, Barry's Bootcamp classes and putting savings aside for his daughter Palma's future.
The interview comes after Mark shared sweet Instagram snaps with his baby daughter Palma, earlier this month.
The father-of-one recently jetted off on a family winter getaway to the Middle East with his wife Michelle and their 10-month-old daughter.

Looking back on their trip, Mark wrote: 'Just the start of making memories with you baby girl'.
During the trip, Michelle revealed Palma had reached a major milestone as she shared a sweet photo of her crawling on the beach.

The family enjoyed a £2k-per-night stay at the lavish Rixos Premium Saadiyat Island hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The proud parents couldn't contain their smiles as they watched Palma crawl towards them in the sand.
Michelle is set to hit Hollywood in the film adaptation of Reese Witherspoon and Harlan Coben's new novel, and it seems preparations could be underway.
In an update shared to her Instagram Story this month, Michelle revealed she had touched down in California as she headed out to lunch.
Harlan and Reese have teamed up to write the new crime thriller Gone Before Goodbye.

As Michelle has worked with Harlan before on his Fool Me Once adaptation Reese is reportedly keen to get her back on board.
The novel sees an indomitable woman, trapped in a conspiracy she helped create but can’t understand.
She searches for the truth that could expose a conspiracy woven throughout the exclusive world of the global Über Elite–but at an unfathomable cost to Maggie herself.
Taking to Instagram, Michelle also shared her love for the Hollywood actress as she shared a sweet snap with both Reese and Harlan.
She penned: 'When two geniuses collide.. ‘Gone Before Goodbye’ is made! (I can confirm Reese Witherspoon is everything you’d imagined her to be, what a woman)'.
Reese then replied: 'So wonderful to meet you .. finally!'
Michelle starred as Maya Stern in Fool Me Once, alongside Joanna Lumley in the series adaptation of Harlan's novel, which quickly shot to the top of Netflix charts worldwide.
Harlan has previously gushed over the star's talent and has said he would be keen to work with Michelle again.
Her character's demise in Fool Me Once left Harlan 'kicking himself' and seeking a plot, no matter how far-fetched, that could see her reprise her role in the second instalment.
A source close to Michelle previously told the Daily Mail: 'Michelle and Harlan really bonded during the Fool Me Once filming and he thinks she's amazing.
'He believes Michelle is a big part of the show's stratospheric success.
'They were having a real heart to heart at the National Television Awards recently and Harlan was saying that he was absolutely gutted that he killed off her character and that he'd do anything to bring her back from the dead so that they can have a much-longed for sequel.'
Rumours of Hollywood surrounded Michelle after the success of Fool Me Once in 2024, and the star confirmed she would consider relocating if the perfect role came along.
