Bill Rancic is best known as the first winner of The Apprentice. For the last decade, he has been out of the spotlight. As he gets ready to return, fans want to understand why he disappeared in the first place. The answer is sweet.
Bill won The Apprentice in 2004, becoming the first winner of the reality series. He quickly rose to fame, and he landed his own reality TV series on E! with his wife Giuliana. That series, Giuliana & Bill, followed the two navigating marriage and fertility issues. It touched on some heartbreaking and difficult topics, including Giuliana fighting breast cancer.
The series came to an end in 2014, and Bill stepped back from the public eye completely. It was like he just disappeared.

Bill Rancic Left to Raise His Son
There were a couple of reasons for Bill to step back from the public eye. The first was to raise his son, Duke, with Giuliana. Fans got to see the struggle to conceive Duke, and now they get to know that he was an active and hands-on dad.
He also focused on his restaurant chain, RPM. After all, Bill was a businessman when fans initially met him on reality TV in 2004. His restaurant chain now has several locations across the country, and he knew that they needed more of his focus and not the focus of TV crews.
The great news for those who followed the married couple is that they are still together. The two have just moved back to Chicago after living on the West Coast for many years, and they are surrounded by Bill’s family. Giuliana’s family lives in DC, making the trip to see them much easier now that they are in Chicago.
Bill Rancic Is Returning to TV
It’s taken 10 years, but the entrepreneur is back on our screens. He shared that it was just the right time. His son is now 11, and it’s time for Bill to focus on his TV career again. Well, it’s not TV this time. He is coming back with a podcast, making sure people can listen while on the go. Reach TV is bringing the podcast to airports across the country.
He’s created the podcast Dollar Bill with Bill Rancic, which debuted on July 22. As the title suggests, it is a financial literacy podcast, with interviews with Howie Mandel, Dennis Quaid, and many other celebrities and people within the financial literacy space to share their advice, tips, and insights.
This is an important topic for Bill, who taught himself about business and financial matters. He has always been interested in taking control of one’s financial future, but he admits that he’s a novice like many of his listeners. This is why having experts on the podcast is so important.
