The insider said: “Mark and Rhea want to keep more of their money and they want to grow their fortune by helping Las Vegas become a real film and TV production hub.
‘Amazingly, it works. Mark has films made and of course they pay lower taxes. They become rich, but Rhea says this is a temporary thing. She misses their old life in Southern California.”
But now that Wahlberg’s $1.8 billion film studio in Vegas is becoming a reality, he has no plans to move anytime soon.

The couple hasn’t exactly seen eye-to-eye lately, as the action star was reportedly “furious” after his wife shared a NSFW photo without his consent.
During their vacation in Fiji last month, Durham uploaded a steamy shower photo, which showed a naked Wahlberg from behind as he showered outside at a tropical resort. However, the mother of four quickly deleted the photo.
A source said: “Even though the photo was only online for a short time it was enough to send Mark into a frenzy.

“He is extremely careful about what the public sees and what remains private. The last thing he wants is for his bare bottom to be all over the internet.”
The insider added: “Although Rhea quickly deleted the image, the short exposure caused tension – it’s a mistake she won’t make again.”
