Donnie Wahlberg has been in the spotlight for the better part of his life, and in different capacities.
Following in the footsteps of his older brother Mark Wahlberg, who first gained fame as member of the hip hop group Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch in the 1990s, the Blue Bloods alum also began his career around the same time as part of the boy band New Kids on the Block.
The band announced their break-up in 1994, and two years later, the former singer made his film debut in the crime film Bullet, which also starred Mickey Rourke and Tupac Shakur.

At 55 years old and 40 years into his career, Donnie has a reported net worth of approximately $25 million.
In addition to his work on New Kids on the Block and his acting work, which includes ten years on the beloved CBS procedural Blue Bloods, which came to an end in 2014, Donnie co-owns a line of restaurants, Wahlburgers, with his brothers Paul and Mark.
Wahlburgers is a chain of casual burger restaurants founded in 2011 and based predominantly around Massachusetts, though there are also locations in Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

In July 2025, Wahlburgers simultaneously closed 79 of its locations, though they were all technically food court kiosks within Iowa-based grocery store Hy-Vee. Per USA Today, CEO Randy Sharpe said: "It's not a full-service restaurant, and it wasn't a significant revenue driver for either side."
