Joe Millionaire: Why Fans Think Kurt Might Also Be Wealthy
The big Joe Millionaire twist was revealed during the first episode by the show's posh Brit host, Martin Andrew: "One of these men is worth over $10 million. However, the other one is not." The 19 contestants (minus Caroline Campbell, who had been dismissed the night before due to an unexpected prior social media connection with bachelor Steven McBee) reacted to the news with excitement, shock, and even a few «whoo's.» However, viewers have been quick to pick up on what the English butler didn't say. He did not say the other was not wealthy as well.
While the women competing have been kept in the dark as to which bachelor is which, audiences have known from the beginning that Steven, CEO of the McBee Farm and Cattle Firm, is the multi-millionaire. However, that doesn't mean that Kurt Sowers doesn't have a sizable bank account of his own. Some fans are not so sure he isn't wealthy. Many speculate that the man-bun sporting Mr. Sowers may also have a lot of money. However, it just might be less than $10 million!

The speculation is not without merit. While details of Kurt's company are being kept very private in order to maintain the show's premise, it is known that he is the CEO of a construction and development company based in Charlotte, North Carolina. According to a Zippia search of Charlotte-based construction companies, even a smaller construction company employing only around 50 people boasts an annual revenue of $36.0 million. Therefore, it is conceivable that a CEO of a construction company in that area could pull in a handsome salary.
