Parker Schnabel | Miner and Reality-TV Star | $8 Million

One can say that Parker Schnabel is the real breakout star of Gold Rush. It isn’t even a shocker that he eventually got his own spin-off show, Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail. His roots go deep when it comes to the mining industry—Parker’s been involved with it since he was five! The reality TV show star grew up watching and then working for his grandfather’s mining company called Big Nugget. As an adult, he was an avid outdoorsman and explorer.

He didn’t have to worry about student loans either since Parker had a designated college fund. Nonetheless, he passed on to college and used the money to start his own business. By 2020, his net worth is now at around $10 million. Who would have thought that at the age of 25, he’d already be able to earn that much and run his own business, too? Part of Parker’s success may have been brought by his grandfather, but he also did his part in making it grow.
