He’s a savvy saver! Retired Sunrise host and multi-millionaire Kochie still driving his trusty $19,000 MG hatchback

Retired Sunrise host and financial guru is living by his own penny-saving advice. 

The 67-year-old, who has built a media empire out of sharing budgeting advice, was spotted driving around in Sydney’s Norther Beaches on Tuesday in a humble MG Hatchback worth around $19,000. 

While his former breakfast TV rival Karl Stefanovic is known to splash out on flashy sports cars, Kochie appeared perfectly content as he zipped around in his canary yellow ride. 

The multi-millionaire was spotted parking his car in a busy carpark, before pulling several pieces of luggage out of the boot. 

Looking suave, Kochie sported a black suit and light blue button-down shirt, paired with sunglasses and patent dress shoes. 

It was no surprise to see Kochie driving an MG.

The journalist is the chairman of the Port Adelaide Football Club, which signed a multi-year deal with MG Motors in February 2020. 

Kochie is quite the petrol-head, as he also owns a restored and modified 1967 GT500-style Mustang.

He paid just $60,000 for the vehicle including restoration costs, and was previously known to drive the muscle car to and from work at Channel Seven. 

The longest-serving breakfast TV anchor in Australian history stunned viewers and the industry in May by announcing he was leaving the program after 21 years to spend more time with family and pursue other interests.

The finance journalist-turned-broadcaster was reportedly earning $1million per year in the hosting gig.

Kochie also had a series of lucrative side hustles on the go throughout his career, including a swag of media gigs outside TV and wise investments in a range of business ventures and start ups.

He has also written several practical books on family and business financial management, and has also published a book of jokes compiled from his daily joke segment on TV.

On Thursday, Koch announced he has teamed up with Australian sugar-free drink brand Nexba and its parent company Goodness Group Global as a shareholder and advisor.
