The TLC reality series 90 Day Fiancé has become a fan-favorite for a reason. Sure, it’s about love and international relationships, but it’s also about what happens when that love is put to the test under a strict 90-day countdown, as couples have to decide whether to marry or call it quits.
One of the more intriguing couples to watch has been Mark Bessette and his now-wife Mina Mack, who now goes by Mina Bessette.
Their dynamic has certainly caught the attention of fans, especially with some suggesting that Mina may have married Mark for his money (even his own daughter!). Because apparently, Mark is worth a lot!
Now that the two have tied the knot and Mina is officially Mrs. Bessette, fans want to know just how much money she married into. Here's everything we know about Mark’s net worth.
What is Mark Bessette's net worth from '90 Day Fiancé'?
Mark Bessette’s net worth isn’t publicly confirmed, but there’s speculation it falls somewhere between $250,000 and $1 million, though we’re betting it’s closer to the latter. Not only is he a Global 5000/6000 Captain, but he also owns his own aviation company.
According to BizJetJobs, the 2025 salary for a senior captain flying a Global 5000 or 5500 is just over $225,000, while flying a Global 6000 or 6500 brings in around $241,000. Mark’s been flying private aircraft — and working for some major companies — since at least 1999, according to his LinkedIn, so it’s safe to say he’s been bringing in big money for quite a while.
