Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner’s net worth as it’s claimed Theresa Nist ‘wants a prenup’
Golden Bachelor star Gerry Turner’s journey to wealth is a surprising one, from owning a burger joint to starring in reality TV. In the first season of The Golden Bachelor, Gerry was on a mission to find love, meeting 22 hopes vying for his heart.
Gerry Turner took part in The Golden Bachelor in a bid to find new love, but it wasn’t without its drama. A tearful goodbye with Leslie Fhima and his proposal to Theresa Nist marks the end of his journey.
But the drama doesn’t stop there, with an insider telling OK! Magazine that Theresa Nist has asked the Golden Bachelor for a pre-nup, due to her own huge net worth.
The first season of the spinoff on ABC sparked interest in Gerry’s life off-screen, especially his financial status. Here’s a look at how Gerry built his fortune.
What is Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner’s net worth
Gerry, a father of two, started his TV love adventure with a net worth of around $1.5 million, according to Life and Style Magazine. Before his TV days, he was a retired restaurant owner.
His business past includes owning a burger place, Mr. Quick, in Iowa, which he sold in 1985. After his restaurant career, Gerry began working at Gannon Pools, installing hot tubs.
Now, Gerry lives in Indiana in what he calls his “dream home”. He bought this 2,000-square-foot $637,000 property with his late wife, Toni, in 2017, just before her sudden passing.
Every star of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette gets paid, with their earnings ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 per season. Gerry’s exact earnings from his time on the series aren’t known.
It’s likely Gerry made a good amount on The Golden Bachelor, similar to previous stars. And his paychecks from ABC are not ending there. He and Theresa are set to marry on TV on January, 4, 2024.
