Hailing from a humble background of hardworking blue collar parents, Thomas ‘Tom’ William Selleck was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. While his father was a small time carpenter ...

Wikipedia says his father was an executive and a real estate investor. It also says his family moved to Sherman Oaks, not exactly a poor town, when he was a kid.

"While his father was a small time carpenter,..."

Not a huge jump from carpenter, to builder, to real estate investor.
I know a couple of guys who went that route - lots of work, good business acumen, maybe a couple of breaks. This is America, after all.

When I lived in Westlake Village, we would see his father often at lunch. Nice man. Extremely handsome.

My boss is from Sherman Oaks and went to high school with him. She said Tom had a brother who was even better looking than he was.
