Also working in the later spin-offs, Ask This Old House and Inside This Old House, he offers his solutions to viewers’ problems and also occasionally visits their house. He is also an avid boater who owns a boat that has been with him for a while. Although his job is prone to accidents, he has not yet suffered any serious injury.
How much is Richard’s Net Worth?
He continues to serve the Boston community with his family business which his father started in 1902. He is the primary person behind one of the longest running shows on television and has definitely earned an impressive amount of net worth from it that could amount to millions of dollars.
Along with that, he is the proprietor of one of the longest running companies in his area. Trethewey Brothers Co. Ltd has been operating for 105 years now. He is an advocate for professionalism in building trade and is president of a manufacturer’s representative company, RST (Thermal) Inc.
How is Richard’s Wife?
That’s a good question to ask and also the one someone doesn’t easily get an answer to. It’s a known fact that Richard is a married man. There’s no need to wonder about it as he has two grown up children who appear alongside him on the television and work as their father does.
His two sons, Ross and Evan, are also involved in the business, and they are continuing the legacy started by their grandfather Ron. Although they don’t feature on the show regularly, they appear sometimes and are more active behind the camera.
And again, talking about his wife, there’s very less to nothing to know about her. The reason for such anonymity could be the unwillingness of the woman to come before media. It could also be possible that he wants to keep her away from the spotlight to avoid unwanted attention.
