In order to sell his Million Dollar Man character, the WWE went all in with Ted DiBiase. They aired numerous vignettes of his posh manor and fancy cars. He even starred in an episode of 1980s hit syndicated series Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.

Going the extra mile, Ted DiBiase's hometown changed depending on the season. In winter, he made his residence in the Netherlands, Antilles, but during the fall he would be billed as making his residence in Bel Air, California.

In reality, Ted was born in Florida, but spent a lot of time in the St. Louis territories. He even sponsors a church across the river in the Metro East city of Belleville, Illinois. Now living in Mississippi, Ted DiBiase is enjoying a well-earned retirement, though he does have a WWE Legends contract.
