Man vs. Wild star Bear Grylls has actually got quite a few side projects that help keep that cash flowing even when he's not in front of the camera.
《荒野求生》的主演贝尔·格里尔斯其实已经有了一些业余项目，即使他不在镜头前，这些项目也能帮助他保持现金流。
Here are some of the highlights from his financial journey over the years that have helped him mint his fortune in spades.
以下是他多年来财务旅行的一些亮点，这些经历帮助他赚了不少钱。
While it isn't everything, the successful survivor's television career has obviously served as a critical piece in founding his financial fortune.
虽然这并不是一切，但这位成功的幸存者的电视事业显然才是他创造财富的关键。
Man vs. Wild, his first blockbuster show, was watched by over a billion viewers.
他的第一部轰动一时的电视栏目《荒野求生》吸引了超过10亿的观众。
But in more recent years, the Discovery Channel sensation managed to leverage his growing popularity into several other shows, including Running Wild, in which he's taken numerous celebrities with him on his adventures in the wilderness.
但近年来，这位探索频道(Discovery Channel)的红人成功地利用了他日益增长的人气，推出了其他几档节目，包括《越野千里》(Running Wild)，在栏目中，他带着众多名人一起在荒野探险。
According to The Richest, it's estimated that Grylls raked in a whopping $30,000 per episode and that was just during his stint on Man vs. Wild.
据《The Richest》估计，格里尔斯每集的片酬高达3万美元，而这还只是他在《荒野求生》中的片酬。
Since then, the numbers only seem to have gone up.
从那时起，这个数字似乎只增不减。
Needless to say, there's no doubt that Mr. Grylls' personal fortune has received a healthy boost from the years he's spent in front of the camera.
不用说，毫无疑问，格里尔斯在镜头前度过的岁月为他的个人财富带来了良性增长。
Television career aside, Grylls has also made several savvy real estate investments over time, the most impressive of which has to be the island he owns in Wales.
撇开电视事业不谈，随着时间的推移，格里尔斯还进行了几笔精明的房地产投资，其中最令人印象深刻的是他在威尔士拥有的一座岛屿。
But we're not talking about a dirt-rich celebrity dropping a ton of cash on a fancy new island just for fun.
但我们说的并不是一个身无分文的名人为了好玩而在一座豪华的新岛上砸下一大笔钱。
According to The Telegraph, Grylls actually bought the island in 1999, over five years before Man vs. Wild started up.
据《每日电讯报》报道，格里尔斯实际上是在1999年买下这座岛屿的，比《荒野求生》(Man vs. Wild)开播早了五年多。
The island, which he considers one of his best investments, covered 20 acres that came with a cottage in need of renovation.
他认为，这座岛是他最好的投资之一，占地20英亩，还附带了一间需要翻修的小屋。
He spent the four years following the purchase scrimping and saving up enough money to make repairs.
在购买之后的四年里，他精打细算，攒足了钱进行维修。
In 2008, Bear estimated he'd spent 100,000 pounds on the project and that it was worth a cool million.
2008年，贝尔估计他在这个项目上花费了10万英镑，价值100万英镑。
Call it old school if you'd like, but when The Telegraph asked how he preferred to pay for things, Gryll's answer was short and simple:
如果你愿意，可以称它为老派，但当《每日电讯报》问他更喜欢用什么方式付账时，贝尔的回答简单精炼:
"Debit card because then there's no risk of getting into debt."
“借记卡，这样就没负债风险。”
Even when he was still getting started, Bear refused to fall victim to the "swipe and forget it" mentality that plagues the modern consumer-driven world.
即便是在贝尔刚刚起步的时候，他也不愿成为困扰现代消费驱动世界的“刷了就忘”心态的受害者。
While he may have the gusto to buy a fixer-upper island, that doesn't mean the man spends money at the drop of a hat.
虽然他可能有兴趣买一个更高级的岛屿，但这并不意味着他会马上花钱。
In fact, he's demonstrated an ability to be cautious enough to ensure that his personal fortune remains in the black.
事实上，他已经表现出足够谨慎的能力，以确保他的个人财富保持盈利。
Mr. Grylls has carefully curated his persona as a tough-as-nails survivalist, but he's also built up an impressive side career as an accomplished author.
格里尔斯小心翼翼地塑造了自己的形象，他是一个像钉子一样坚韧的生存主义者，但作为一名有成就的作家，他也建立了令人印象深刻的副业。
His lengthy list of book topics includes survival tips, lifestyle advice, his own personal experiences, and even a number of children's series.
他的书单很长，主题包括生存技巧，生活方式建议，他自己的个人经历，甚至一些儿童系列。
A catalog of books that big by one man is an incredible sight to behold on its own nevermind the fact that for Grylls, it's a side hustle.
一个人写的这么大的书单单看就是令人难以置信的景象，更不用说对格里尔斯来说，这只是副业。
Sure, he might already own an island and be paid tens of thousands of dollars per episode,
当然,他可能已经拥有一个岛和支付数万美元每集,
but when you consider the fact that he'd reportedly sold over three million copies of his books by 2015, the amount of influence that "Bear Grylls the author" has played in building his fortune becomes a bigger deal than just some cash on the side.
但是当你考虑,据报道,他在2015年售出三百万本他的书,的影响“Bear Grylls作者”在构建他的财富变成了一个更大的交易不仅仅是一些现金。
For a man who's spent much of his life showing off his skills by surviving with next to nothing,
对于一个一生中大部分时间都靠几乎一无所有的生存来炫耀自己技能的人来说，
the guy seems to have managed to make bank on his merch sales.
这个家伙似乎已经靠他的并购销售赚到了钱。
According to the Evening Standard, he was estimated to have brought in over three million pounds in merchandising in 2015 alone.
据《Evening Standard》报道，仅2015年一年，他就为公司带来了超过300万英镑的销售收入。
So what exactly does a man who eats maggots and pees on his clothes sell?
那么，一个吃蛆虫并在衣服上撒尿的人到底卖什么呢?
As it turns out, the Bear Grylls merch line includes everything from his famous Bear Grylls Ultimate Pro Knife to a water bottle that also serves as a lamp and power source.
事实证明，贝尔·格里尔斯的merch产品线包括从他著名的贝尔·格里尔斯终极专业刀到一个水瓶，它还可以作为灯和电源。
While merch sales are hard to pin down on a consistent basis, there's no doubt that the sale of his own products has created some lucrative side income for Grylls.
虽然合并销售很难在一个稳定的基础上确定下来，但毫无疑问，他自己产品的销售为格里尔斯创造了一些有利可图的副业收入。
While there's no doubt that Grylls has a boatload of money, he's made it clear from early on that just because he has more than he needs doesn't mean he throws money away with the little transactions.
虽然格里尔斯毫无疑问有大量的资金，但他从早期开始明确表示，仅仅因为他的需求超过了他的需要并不意味着他会因为小额交易而抛弃资金。
As he told The Telegraph, he's tried not to convert the money he earns from his U.S. shows into British pounds because he doesn't want to lose cash in the transition.
正如他在接受《每日电讯报》采访时所言，他一直试图不把自己在美国演出中赚到的钱兑换成英镑，因为他不想在换购外汇过程中损失现金。
Instead, Grylls put his U.S. dollars into an international investment fund, where it can gain value without the need to go through any switch over to U.K. currency.
相反，格里尔斯将美元投资于一只国际投资基金，这样美元就可以增值，而无需转换成英镑。
While it seems like a small detail, it comes from a mind that is clearly focused on making the best possible decisions at every turn.
虽然这看起来是一个小细节，但它来自于一个在每一个转折点都专注于做出最好的决定的头脑。
