Parker Schnabel got rich as a prospector

 

That Parker Schnabel was able to make a career as a producer at such a young age is thanks to Schnabel’s family business. Because his son Parker was already active in the company of gold miners at the age of 16, both his grandfather and Schnabel’s father have a reputation as legendary gold miners of our time. His father also works in the construction industry and owns Southeast Road Builders.

However, Parker’s career today has largely grown on his crap. Today’s producer used the money he should have used to pay for his college education instead of starting his own mining company. It wasn’t just his role on the Discovery Channel docu-soap that made him rich. Instead, it was also his gold finds. He is said to have already mined gold worth more than 30 million US dollars (the equivalent of around 27 million euros). His talent for prospecting and his popularity in the docu-soap context has even led to his docu-series offshoot in four episodes (“Gold Rush: Parker’s Trail”).
