Discover Parker Schnabel’s Net Worth

With a net worth of $8 million, Parker Schnabel is an American gold miner and reality TV personality. His claim to fame stems from his appearances on the popular reality show “Gold Rush” and its spinoff, “Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail.”

Background Information

Born on July 22, 1994, in Haines, Alaska, Parker Schnabel is the son of Roger and Nancy Schnabel and has a sibling named Payson. His immersion in the mining industry began at the remarkable age of five, as he worked for his grandfather John Schnabel’s mining entity, Big Nugget. His proficiency in heavy machinery was evident even before he could reach the pedals.

While in high school, Schnabel excelled as part of the varsity basketball team. Initially inclined towards geology or mining studies in college, he eventually took charge of the family mine upon graduation. His pivotal role in the operations commenced as his grandfather relinquished his daily responsibilities. Handling a team of significantly older miners, Parker showcased his expertise in gold discovery. His decision to bypass college for pursuing new opportunities in the Yukon territory was funded by his own college trust fund.

Parker’s presence on the Discovery Channel’s series “Gold Rush Alaska,” also known as “Gold Rush,” started in 2010. By 2023, the show had aired 330 episodes over 13 seasons. Notable episodes include his endeavor to assist miners at the Porcupine Creek claim, revealing their lack of expertise. The fourth season documents his decision to venture independently from his family’s mining operation. In his debut year as a mine owner, Parker discovered a remarkable 1029 oz of gold. Alongside, he was part of “Gold Rush: The Dirt” from 2012 to 2016 and led the spin-off series “Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail” in 2017, serving as a producer across all three projects.
