However, while his father is looking for loans to keep his company afloat, Dr.Phil’s son, Jordan, who is engaged to Morgan Stewart has paid $10 million in cash for a 6,500-square-foot mansion in the exclusive Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills.
Although a link between Dr.Phil’s loan and Jordan’s purchase has not been established, TV sources wondered why the reality show host obtained the loan from the government.
Dr.Phil is yet to comment about the speculation.
