PARKER SCHNABEL – EST. $8 MILLION

Gold Rush became Parker Schnabel’s ladder to success. He is best known as a part of the long-running reality television series and its spinoff, Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail. He is one of Gold Rush Alaska’s subjects, which started to hit the small screens in 2010. In the show, he gets credit for helping the miners at the Porcupine Creek, only to find out that they know nothing about it. In the show’s fourth season, Schnabel decided to go on his own way.

In his first year of working on his own mining operation, he managed to find a whopping 1,029 oz of gold. Aside from being a reality star, Parker also plays as the producer of three shows. He has mined a total of more than $13 million worth of gold and has a net worth of $8 million. Unlike other celebrities, Parker didn’t squander his fortune on high-end cars and homes but bought new equipment to improve his gold business operations.
