Father of Kirk Norcross: Personal Life
The 57-years old property developer, Mick Norcross, was the father of popular English television personality Kirk Norcross. He gave birth to Krik with his partner Julie Lloyd.
However, Mick left his two sons Kirk and Daniel—when Kirk was five years old—with their mother to go out and become a millionaire. In that process, his sons and their single mother, Julie, lived in poverty, sheltering at a hostel.

Before Mick owned the hotel, it had a lounge at the front of the pub and had a bar at the back where there was always piano music. But with time, things started changing, fewer people attended the pub, and the building also deteriorated.
Then, Mick owned the hotel and dreamt of restoring the building to its former glory. He bought the hotel in 2011 for £4.3 million and wished to turn the ruined building into a boutique hotel, restaurant, and spa. Before leaving his former house to move on, he said:
“I've been here six years and I've completely refurbished this place.” “Now I'm ready to move on to another project,” he added.
Initially, Mick paid £1.2 million in 2005 for the house in Bulphan, near Brentwood, Essex, and spent 12 months and expenses between £300,000 and £400,000 renovating the house before settling in.
Net Worth
Mick Norcross's net worth escalated up to $12 million. However, speculations suggest that Norcross had 8 million euros of debt on his head while restoring The Grand Hotel.
