Parker Schnabel – $8 Million

Parker Schnabel was not your typical teenager. When he was young, he discovered gold exploration that made him part of the hit reality TV series, Gold Rush. This led to the show’s spinoff Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail, which mainly featured Parker. This gave the now-26-year-old a lucrative career, earning him a net worth of $8 million.

Schnabel was only in high school when he was shot to stardom. At the time, he already loved everything outdoors, and it brought him places. He focused on studying geology or mining so that he could continue running the family mine business. After graduating, Parker started operating the mine. Sadly, he didn’t finish college or even get a degree for himself. Instead, he moved away from his home mining area and went to the Yukon Territory. Despite this relatively risky decision, it couldn’t be denied that Parker found success.
