Mark Burnett is a British-American television producer and businessman. He is the chairman of United Artists Media Group and the founder of Mark Burnett Productions. Burnett is best known for producing the reality television shows Survivor, The Voice, and The Apprentice.

Burnett was born on July 17, 1960, in London, England. His parents were Catholic immigrants from Ireland. Burnett has three siblings. He was educated at St. Benedict’s School, a Catholic boys’ school in London. After graduating from high school, Burnett worked as a salesman for a London-based company that sold T-shirts.

In 1982, Burnett moved to the United States to pursue a career in television. He started out working as a nanny and a security guard. He eventually landed a job as a production assistant on the set of The Gong Show. Burnett worked his way up the ladder, and in 1987, he became a producer on The Newlywed Game.

In 2000, Burnett created the reality television show Survivor. The show was an instant hit, and it launched Burnett’s career. He has since produced such hit shows as The Voice and The Apprentice. Burnett has also produced several films, including the 2012 film version of Survivor.

Burnett has been married twice. His first marriage was to Dianne Henning, with whom he has three children. His second marriage is to Roma Downey, an actress best known for her role on the television series Touched by an Angel.

Burnett has an estimated net worth of $430 million.

Quotes

#Quote
1I don't know what 'reality TV' means, but unscripted dramas are made on a pretty large scale, with multiple helicopters and a crew of about 400.
2What I always thought growing up, which I think a lot of people feel, was that the Bible was like a rule book and - if I stepped left or right - a lightning bolt might hit me. But actually it's a love story. I'm hoping that, while 'Son of God' is an epic movie and a political thriller, it's still got this intimate, personal love story.
3When I arrived [in America] a friend of mine had a chauffeur job in Beverly Hills and it seemed like an easy thing, except for there were no jobs. The only position I could get was childcare. I thought I'd do it for two weeks. It was two years later before I moved on from nanny.
