Daniel Stern moved away from the Hollywood lifestyle to a farm in Ventura, where he and his spouse raise cattle, grow fruit, and care for citrus groves. He said that his success in the 1980s and 1990s earned him enough money to not have to work and also gave him a sense of responsibility to make the most of his good fortune.
