Over the last few years celebrities have been gravitating toward the Tequila business in the hope of following in the footsteps of George Clooney who back in 2017 sold his Casamigos brand for a reported $ 1billion to Diageo .
Fans of the Transformers actor will know that Mark Wahlberg is a devote family man and fitness fanatic but over the past few years he ’ s also been building up his investment portfolio , investing in fitness gyms , burger bars and fashion so venturing into the booze business seemed liked a progressive step forward for the business mogul .
A lover of golf it was by chance that Wahlberg met Aron Marquez a professional golfer and co-founder of Flecha Azul - an ultra-premium line of tequila .
Realising that the pair shared a lot in common including a devotion to faith , family and hard work , Walhberg visited the brand ’ s distillery in Jalisco , Mexico , which has been owned and operated by the family since 1840 and knew he wanted to partner with them to help build Flecha Azul into a global brand so cut a cheque and the rest they say is history .
