George and Rande have been friends for years, and they often spend time together as their wives Amal Clooney and Cindy Crawford, though the women seem to have sat out their afternoon drive.

The old pals struck pay dirt in 2013 when they co-founded the tequila label Casamigos, meaning 'house of friends' in Spanish, with fellow friend Mike Meldman.

Rande revealed to CNBC in 2017 that the idea for the company was sparked when he and the Out Of Sight star were building neighboring vacation homes in Caba San Lucas, Mexico.

Whenever they were both in town, the two would visit bars and sample different tequilas to find the drinks that best suited their palettes.

'As you do when you’re in Mexico, you drink a lot of tequila,' Rande said. 'After a couple of months trying a lot of different tequilas, George turned to me and said, "Why don’t we just make our own? One that’s perfect for us to drink?"' 

The trio sold their tequila to British beverage conglomerate Diageo in 2017 for an astounding $700 million, with an additional $300 possible if the brand performed well through the next decade.

Their liquor joined some of Diageo's other iconic brands, including Smirnoff vodka, Johnnie Walker Scotch, Guinness stout and Moët & Chandon champagne.

Earlier this month, George and his wife Amal were reported to have spent a stunning $112,000 on a playhouse for their children, only a fraction of the $1 million renovations their California home has been undergoing.

According to The Sun, the playhouse will feature running water and include a large toy giraffe the children can ride on.

Adult guests will be able to enjoy a pool designed to look like a prohibition-era speakeasy. 

The couple share the two-year-old twins Alexander and Ella.

They got engaged in April 2014 and married in September of that year in the UK.
