What is Bryan and Sarah Baeumler's net worth?
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bryan and Sarah Baeumler share a net worth of $20M. So, if just like us you too are curious about how the Baeumlers managed to amass such a massive fortune, then we got you covered. Today Bryan and Sarah may be familiar faces on HGTV, thanks to their several hit shows like 'Disaster DIY', 'House of Bryan', 'Leave it to Bryan' and 'Renovation, Inc.', but Bryan was already raking in some serious dough way before he set foot into the lucrative world of reality television.
Bryan was initially keen on pursuing a career in law after getting his degree in political science and business from the University of Western Ontario. However, his interest in construction and engineering eventually led him to divert his focus. He ran an air cargo business in Vancouver from the mid-'90s through the early 2000s. He also did some contracting work on the side. He later launched a home construction business, which paved the way to his glorious career as an HGTV host.
He made his debut in 2007 with 'Disaster DIY' on HGTV Canada, where he helped rectify failed do-it-yourself attempts by aspiring renovators. His wife Sarah also started to be featured on his later shows such as 'House of Bryan', 'Leave it to Bryan', and 'Bryan, Inc'. While Bryan focussed on the construction and operational side of the renovation, Sarah was responsible for designing and decorating the space. The couple's work soon began to be recognized, which made them even more popular.
Despite their growing popularity and flourishing construction business, the couple decided to leave their cozy lives in Canada behind and moved to the Bahamas. The couple's entrepreneurial spirit took over them, as they wanted to dip their toes into the hospitality industry by opening their own luxury resort in the Caribbean islands. Despite shelling out $10 million, and the pandemic getting in the way of drawing in more business, the couple seems to be doing just fine thanks to their other sources of income, such as their HGTV shows.
How much do Baeumlers earn from 'Renovation Island'?
Distractify estimated that HGTV might have paid at least $650,000 for the first season of 'Renovation Island'. The outlet broke down the calculations by pointing out how the stars who appear on reality TV shows are paid by the production companies that film the show. These production companies in turn are paid by the network. But Bryan and Sarah Baeumler managed to trim away a lot of expenses, as they themselves own the production company that films their show — Bryland Entertainment. The outlet also pointed out that the exact cost could fluctuate "depending on how streamlined Bryan's company was able to get the filming process down, or because of the show's high ratings". Considering 'Renovation Island' managed to do really well by drawing in large viewership and ratings, Bryan could be pocketing a lot more money for the upcoming Season 2.
Also with the travel restrictions gradually being lifted, the Bauemlers' resort might soon be able able to eventually help the HGTV hosts not only recover all the money they invested into renovating the property but also make some decent profit.
'Renovation Island' Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 20, at 8/7c on HGTV.
