Parker Schnabel – $8 Million
While some would argue that Parker Schnabel owes his family the wealth he enjoys today, this TV reality star has, over time, proven that he is his own man. Yes, Schnabel did have a good foundation, having worked in his family’s mine since he was five. After gaining the expertise needed, he branched out on his own, moved to a new mining area where he set up his firm and has been doing great ever since.
Schnabel used his college funds as seed money for setting up his mining operation, and thankfully it quickly paid off. In addition to gold mining, this star is also a TV producer and has featured on three versions of TV show ‘Gold Rush.’
