Born in Alaska to parents Roger Schnabel and Nancy Schnabel, Parker always seemed to have a thing for gold mining.

Surprisingly he took control of the entire factory at the mere age of 16.

The primary source of Schnabel's wealth undoubtedly is quite transparent as the gold he mines. He burnt the midnight oil in a consistent manner, which resulted in the massive success of his firm in the last few years. 

In the first year itself, the Parker crew mined 34 oz gold valued at $55,000. In the last two seasons, his firm finished with 6,280 and 7,427 ounces of gold, valued at around $7.5 million and $9 million, respectively. Gold Rush recently completed its tenth season, with its final episode airing on March 6, 2020, and a record total of $10 million worth in gold.

Parker Schnabel's Earnings From Gold Rush

Parker, who happened to lose his girlfriendAshley Youle, possibly due to all the media pressure and hype around him, makes around $25,000 per episode on the show. From the show itself, he earns $500,000 every year, leave alone his earnings from the mining.

Parker Does Not Prefer Fancy Cars or House

Now, that's a shocker. Contrary to many millionaires, Parker Schnabel does not prefer to spend his hard-earned money on a luxury car or a massive villa. The Gold Rush star displays his business expertise instead, as he reinvests his income instead of making the extra expenditure.

I don't own a boat or any fancy cars or a fancy house. We made some money this season, but it's going right back into the ground.

Schnabel and his crew mean complete business as they segregate the specific sum of their earnings to buy new pieces of equipment to improve their efficiency. And he doesn't need the fancy items, presumably because he spends most of his time of the year in the middle of nowhere in search of gold.
