My Little Dig into Ashley and Michael Cordray's Money Situation
So, the other day, I was flipping channels, landed on one of those home renovation shows. You know the ones. And there were Ashley and Michael Cordray, working on some old house in Galveston. Got me thinking, these two seem to be doing alright for themselves. How much are they actually packing, you know, net worth wise? Curiosity, it’s a thing with me.
First thing I did, just a casual search online. Typed in their names, "net worth," all that jazz. You get a bunch of results, right? But half of it looks like pure guesswork. So, I thought, okay, let’s try to be a bit more methodical, like I usually do when I wanna figure something out.
I started looking for information about their actual business. They've got this company, see? It's all about bringing back these super old homes, like from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That’s not cheap work, and they’ve been at it for a while. That right there told me they’re not just playing around; it’s a serious operation. They own it, Save A K Saloon, or something like that, no, that's not it, their actual company, they own it, so the value of that company itself is a big chunk of whatever they're worth.
During my little online expedition, I stumbled on a few bits and pieces. Like, Michael, he wasn't originally from Texas. Turns out he was born in Brooklyn. Not really related to the money, but it’s one of those details you pick up along the way. Makes them seem more like real folks, I guess.
Then I tried to find some, you know, hard numbers. And this is where it always gets tricky with people who are on TV but aren't like, mega Hollywood stars.
- No one's publishing their tax returns, obviously.
- A lot of the "net worth" sites just copy each other, seems like.
- You gotta look at what they do and what they own, try to piece it together.
I read somewhere they live on that beautiful island, Galveston. And they mentioned this one house just "wandered right into our life" and it was "the perfect spot for our growing family." That tells you they're investing in property themselves, not just flipping for others. Good sign, usually. Owning property, especially historic stuff in a place like that, adds up. They said moving wasn't in the plans, but it happened. Sounds like they’re doing okay to make a move like that work.
So, after all that poking around, what’s the bottom line? Well, there’s no official figure stamped anywhere. That’s the truth of it. I saw some folks online throwing around numbers, maybe a couple of million, some say more, some say less. It’s all speculation, really. But when you consider their TV show, their renovation company that's clearly successful and specializes in these historic homes, and the properties they've likely bought and sold or hold onto... they’re doing fine. They are definitely comfortable.
My best guess, based on everything I pieced together from my afternoon of digging? They’re probably sitting on a decent pile. Not like billionaire status, but definitely what you’d call successful entrepreneurs. It’s the kind of wealth built on hard work and smart business, restoring those beautiful old places. It’s not just TV magic; there’s a real business there. That’s my take after spending some time trying to connect the dots. It’s always interesting to see what’s behind the TV screen, isn't it?
