Tyrus’ Lifestyle Is Way Bigger Than You Think—But Where’s the Money Really Coming From?

Tyrus—real name George Murdoch—isn’t just a towering presence on Fox News. He’s also a father of six, a former WWE wrestler, a bestselling author, and a media mogul in the making. And now, thanks to recent revelations about his wealth, fans are getting a glimpse behind the curtain of how this larger-than-life figure juggles a booming career and a blended family—all while living large.

With a net worth estimated at over $2 million, Tyrus has evolved from the wrestling ring to the news desk with remarkable agility. But how does he manage it all?

A Career That Defies Categorization

Tyrus’ journey to Fox News wasn’t a straight line. He began his public career in professional wrestling under WWE’s spotlight as “Brodus Clay.” After a successful stint there—and later in TNA as “Tyrus”—he transitioned to political commentary, a move few wrestlers could pull off convincingly.

In 2016, everything changed when he joined The Greg Gutfeld Show. With his commanding presence and dry wit, Tyrus quickly became a fan favorite. Now a regular co-host on Gutfeld! and contributor across Fox’s programming lineup, he is seen nightly by millions of viewers.

While his exact Fox News salary is not disclosed, insiders estimate he earns a six-figure income annually from his frequent TV appearances, alongside additional payments for media panels, podcast appearances, and speaking engagements.

Books, Acting, and More

Tyrus has also carved out success as an author. His first book, Just Tyrus: A Memoir, debuted in 2022 and was followed by Nuff Said in 2023. Both books climbed bestseller lists, offering candid insights into his life, career, and political views.

He’s also appeared in multiple film and television roles—from No One Lives (2012) to Stand On It (2020)—giving him yet another source of steady income and exposure.

Family Life: A Blended Household of 8

Tyrus is a devoted husband and father, sharing a blended family with his wife, Ingrid Rinck, a fitness entrepreneur and founder of Sensible Meals. The couple wed in January 2024 after a long-term relationship and share one biological daughter, Georgia, born in 2014.

Their household includes:

Three of Tyrus’ children from previous relationships

Two sons from Ingrid’s previous marriage

Georgia, their daughter together

That’s six children total, and Tyrus has made it clear that family comes first.

The family resides on a spacious farm in northern New Jersey, where they embrace a down-to-earth lifestyle despite their public status. Tyrus has often spoken about how the peace of rural life helps him recharge from the demands of television and media.

Living Large: Cars, Comfort, and Commitment

Tyrus isn’t shy about enjoying the fruits of his labor. His car collection includes a Lincoln Continental valued at $72,000 and a Ford F-150 worth around $85,000. Both vehicles are symbols of his taste for both style and reliability.

And while he enjoys the occasional luxury, Tyrus is also known for his frugal side. He’s spoken about the importance of financial literacy, especially as someone who grew up in humble circumstances.

Meeting Greg Gutfeld: The Moment That Changed Everything

Tyrus’ TV career was launched by a chance connection with Greg Gutfeld on social media. After a humorous exchange on Twitter (now X), Gutfeld invited Tyrus to appear on his show—and the chemistry was undeniable.

What started as a one-time segment became a permanent gig. Gutfeld has since described Tyrus as his “massive sidekick,” and their rapport has helped Gutfeld! soar in the ratings, often outperforming traditional late-night competitors.

A Private Life With Public Impact

Tyrus and Ingrid choose to keep their family life relatively private. While fans occasionally see sweet family moments online—especially posts featuring Georgia—they’ve made a conscious decision to shield their children from the public eye.

Still, their home life serves as a powerful counter-narrative to the often chaotic images of fame. In interviews, Tyrus emphasizes faith, structure, and mutual support as the pillars of their household.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for Tyrus?

With books, TV gigs, a happy marriage, and six kids, Tyrus is already juggling more than most. But he’s not slowing down.

Rumors of a podcast, a new book, and even a potential acting comeback are swirling. And given his ability to pivot between wrestling, media, and family life, few doubt his ability to continue surprising audiences.

In a culture obsessed with fame, Tyrus has built something rarer: a meaningful life with multiple chapters. Whether you know him as a wrestler, a commentator, a father, or an author—he’s a living example of how determination and versatility can shape not just a career, but a legacy.
