Who is matthew mcconaughey brother

You're going to have so many people out there trying to help you with it when they figure out you've got some, and usually they'll help you lose it'," Rooster says, adding his brother turned out to be cautious. He used to just pay his taxes and put the rest in T Treasury Bonds. It's like Shark Tank or Dragons' Den with cowboy hats instead of tailored suits. The pair invite ambitious business people from across America to come to West Texas to make their case to secure funding for their ventures.

What the hopefuls don't realise, though, is that a good product and a positive balance sheet aren't enough to get an investment from McConaughey and Gilliam. You can have a brand new car but the driver's the most important person," Rooster says. Though the businessman didn't end up graduating from college, he "made his first million at age 30 working in the oil pipe business," the bio states.

Pretty freaking impressive, we'd say. Still, Rooster wasn't so lucky, as he reportedly ended up losing it all — before he quickly began building up his wealth again. Rooster is "the sole owner of DGM Supply, an oil pipe machine shop that specializes in buying and selling used pipe. He averages two to one profit on his pipe deals and his most recent multi-million dollar oil deal profited five to one in only two years," as per his bio.

The new series is kind of like Shark Tank sound department: Robyn Gerry-Rose in that the two business partners are looking for and accepting new investment opportunities, but, according to a promo, is conducted mostly via voicemail pitches rather than panel presentations.

The show is about Rooster and Butch, and the focus stays on them. This isn't even the McConaughey brother's first television show. So plenty of audience members will be coming in to this show with a good idea of who Rooster is already. McConaughey also appeared as himself on the docuseries Black Gold producer: Lauren Dascher in for an interview.

Rooster was born in Houston, Texas in and, like Matthew and adoptive brother Patrick, he spent much of his childhood in the little Texas town of Uvalde. It's a small town tucked into the middle of nowhere, just southwest of Austin.

Rooster's the kind of guy who named his son Miller Lyte, after the beer. He has a fondness for cigars, beer, and tall tales. His mom Kay, "K-Mac" , is alive and kicking at His dad Jim died in of a heart attack brought on by some spirited lovemaking with K-Mac.

Jim, a former college and pro football player, sold oil pipes. And as a boy and young man Rooster worked alongside him, learning the trade. Rooster has starred in a couple of short-lived reality TV shows, buys and sells used piping, counts his money, and regularly shows up for Red Carpet events with baby bro Matthew McConaughey. Rooster's sidekicks are a couple of lovable bubbas called Butch Gilliam and Gil Prather.

Like Rooster, Butch made his millions flogging oil pipes. And Gil, something of a dark horse, was a Texas cowboy who occasionally turned his hand to writing country songs and acting. Rooster and Butch formed West Texas Ltd, an investment company.

They parlayed that into a little reality TV career. Think honky-tonk Shark Tank and you've got it pegged. They followed that up in with Rooster and Butch.

It was pretty much the same idea: Have money, want to invest. But it's Texas-style.
