Adventurer and TV presenter Bear Grylls is the latest celebrity to be interviewed by documentarian Louis Theroux in his new BBC Two series, Interviews. In the 45-minute chat, the 48-year-old, who is originally from London, talks to Louis from his island - Saint Tudwal's in Abersoch, north Wales.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Bear is reportedly worth around £21 million, but he tells Louis that money is not his "motivator". Discussing his enormous wealth, he says: "Money's never been the number one motivator, but it's easy to say that once you've earned a bit. In the early days, it was a big motivator." He goes on to talk about how, following the success of his first TV show, Man vs. Wild, his financial situation changed.
"I'm not a flash cars sort of person," Bear reveals before Louis replies: "You're a parachutes guy, aren't you?" and the adventurer reveals that the majority of his money is spent on "parachutes and paragliders". He then reveals that TV is his biggest earner.
