Not mentioned in the story are the release in October of their first children’s book,Builder Brothers Big Plans,which joins two other published tomes, or their numerous brand partnerships, including aSuper Bowl spot for ADT.
Jonathan also confirms that the brothers are making bank.
“There are probably less than 100 actors who make more than we do across our empire,” he told the magazine. “We thought it was the bee’s knees to be a successful actor, but pursuing that would have never opened up this world to us.”
But that wasn’t always the case. Before they made it big, Drew admits, he was in $140,000 of debt. After high school, the Canada-born star headed to Vancouver to try to make it as an actor. But after a year, he ended up with a huge credit card bill and only a handful of small parts.
“It was the first sleepless night I’d ever had,” Drew says. Soon after, he headed home and back to the burgeoning house-flipping business he’d started with Jonathan. “I went back to my roots.”
