How Did Rooster McConaughey Make His Money?

Rooster McConaughey is a self-made man, who started working at the age of 12 with his father in the oil fields of Texas. McConaughey believes in the saying, “High risk means high reward.” It was while working with his father that he gained knowledge about the petroleum industry.

McConaughey briefly attended Stephen F. Austin University in Texas to become a wildlife conservationist. He then enrolled himself at the University of Texas but didn’t complete his studies there, either.

Rooster & Butch

The show’s “About Us” section reads, “Living life by the “Golden Rule,” Rooster and Butch are eager to help other folks get a leg up the same way others helped them along the way.

“A pretty balance sheet will only get you so far in West Texas—these good old boys will only throw their money down after they’ve tested the true measure of an entrepreneur’s character. Integrity first; idea second.”

Brief Stint in Movies

Besides investing his time to become a millionaire, like his brother, McConaughey also tried his hand in movies. He has appeared in the films, The Newton Boys and Call for Fire.

In 1984, McConaughey walked down the aisle for the second time with Georganne Hurt. The couple has two kids together, Miller Lyte and Margarita Olympia McConaughey.

McConaughey continued, “My wife gets pregnant and all my buddies are going, ‘Hey man, get ready. Your life’s gonna change. You can’t go be riding ‘round with that Miller Lite all the time. Because you’re gettin’ ready to have a kid.’ And I went, ‘You know if things work out, I’ll be able to take Miller Lite to church.’”

“And I sure as hell did! [My son is named Miller Lyte. But it’s] L-y-t-e. And so, I got away with it. So my wife gets pregnant again and she goes, ‘I’m naming this [one] and you stay out of it,’” McConaughey further added.

McConaughey’s wife decided to name the baby Margarita, after her grandmother. But in the meantime, they couldn’t come up with a middle name. He explained, “She looks over at me and goes, ‘Can you help us come up with a middle name?’ I said, ‘I thought y’all didn’t want me to have none ‘do with it!'”

He added, “So I threw out Olympia. They jumped all over it. Little did they know that was the name of a beer. I named my little daughter after a dead beer. But now they’re making it again. And as I tell Miller Lite, if y’all don’t start sponsoring us, I’m gonna start drinking Olympia again.”

Reportedly, Rooster McConaughey is not with his second wife anymore and is currently married to Erica McConaughey.
