At the time the reality-TV-show-turned-global-phenomenon “Gold Rush” aired in 2010, there was a young character who wasn’t quite at the center of attention. Young, baby-faced Parker Schnabel, the grandson of the now-late long-time miner John Schnabel, graced the screen, but was more of a supporting role in the first season. The older Parker got and the longer the show went on, however, his role became more prominent, and he quickly became a fan favorite. Now, 13 seasons and a spin-off of Parker’s very own later, Parker Schnabel is no mere supporting character. He has arguably become the face of “Gold Rush” itself. The 28-year-old has gone through a major character arc over the years in front of an audience of millions. He has not only lived a bold, adventurous lifestyle, but has done so with charm and apparent ease.
It should be said, too, that Parker has nothing to worry about when it comes to financial security. Through savvy business decisions related to his family’s gold mine, as well as how well he’s embraced the reality TV lifestyle, the gold-seeker has managed to amass great wealth and stability. He travels around the world seeking out riches and lives his life to the fullest. His social media page is filled with hunting excursions, motorcycles, snowmobiles, and adventures with friends in the great outdoors. But how did he get here? How is it that Parker has managed to capture the hearts of viewers everywhere and become so successful? Let’s unearth how it all began.

began it's nice to finally be on some
ground and be finding some gold and have
a good crew A lot's gone into this and
it's really cool to see it working out
and that's hopefully a sign of what's to
come
the origins of Parker Parker Schnabel
was born in 1994 in the picturesque town
of Haynes Alaska he first learned the
mining robes when he was five years old
under the watchful eye of his
grandfather John who he would go on to
starring Gold Rush with just a decade or
so later in season 1 of the discovery
series Todd Hoffman and his eager but
inexperienced crew of miners came to
porcupine Alaska to mine for gold Parker
and his grandfather helped the team
learn the ins and out often saving them
from blunders and disasters Parker's
Ernest boy's charm didn't undo the fact
that at 16 years old he had more mining
experience than all the new crew
combined it was clear that Parker wasn't
born to sit on the sidelines but to
guide a sign of things to come down the
road Parker's growth over the years Gold
Rush grew and so did Parker he quickly
grew into a Dashing Young Miner which
surely cannot harm the series ratings
thanks to his success as a fan favorite
poker Adventure received his own
spin-off in 2018 Gold Rush Parker's
Trail the series has featured him as he
travels the world to Guyana Papua New
Guinea Australia and in the newest
season New Zealand Parker continues his
quest to find gold and fans have proven
that they're willing to follow along and
watch him anywhere he goes Parker's net
worth appearances in the Gold Rush main
series and his own spin-off have proven
to be quite lucrative for the now
veteran minor pakistanable's net worth
as of 2022 is estimated to be around 8
million dollars nothing to sneeze at
Parker was born into a business that
would have oriented his mindset
naturally towards success from a very
young age Having learned the craft of
mining from his grandfather at the age
of five supposedly operating heavy
machinery before his feet could even
reach the pedals Parker grew up with a
go-getter attitude he would have been
taught to literally dig down into the
Earth and earn his financial success a
mindset that has paid off in Spain
thanks striking out when John Schnabel
eventually stepped down from big nugget
the family's Mining Company his grandson
was prepared to take the reins
overseeing miners over twice his age
Parker stepped into his own as a leader
and a businessman confident and smart
tapping into the college fund he never
used for Education Beyond high school he
decided to strike out on his own away
from his home territory to seek
undiscovered Fortunes in the Yukon
Territory in his first year he mined an
astonishing 1029 ounces of gold which
has a market value today of almost 2
million dollars it was clear that Parker
had the ability to make it on his own
and was continuing to grow in his own
right by the time he was 24 years old he
had mined over 13 million dollars his
determination was clearly outpacing his
age and the world was taking note the
leading man not only has Parker Schnabel
proven he is the main character of his
own story but he's also shown that he
can be quite the man fans have loved
watching him on screen when rumored or
actual paramours despite Parker being
notoriously shy about any sort of
on-camera affection the shyness is
likely only further captivated audiences
and their interest in who he might be
romantically linked with Parker's
success in life has allowed him to cross
paths with some intriguing women who are
successful in their own right in 2016
season 7 of Gold Rush introduced fans to
Veterinary nurse Ashley Ewell she
appeared on the docu-series after she
and Parker had met in Australia where
things down under had apparently gone
very well after they realized they had a
connection Parker invited Ashley to mine
for the summer with him in Alaska in a
2017 Maxim interview Parker shared I
don't think she gets quite enough credit
for how well the summer went she's great
to be around she's great for me and
she's just a really cool chick Parker
was also protective of their
relationship further cementing him as a
man of dignity and respect in one
episode the crew went so far as to
pressure the two to kiss on camera in
what was dubbed the big kiss competition
whatever crew member could get the
couple to share a moment of intimacy on
screen would score a bottle of whiskey
if anyone knows the value of things
though it's Parker and he refused to let
anyone cash in on something so private
sadly as the great Robert Frost once
said Nothing Gold Can Stay and after
season 8 of Gold Rush Ashley Yule was
nowhere to be seen as successful as our
season was there was for me personally
one pretty big failure Ashley and I
broke up I just never made the
relationship a priority I didn't make
her a priority and honestly she deserves
a lot better than that he admitted
during season 8 episode win big or die
trying back down under a major perk of
Parker's adventurous life is the ability
to travel around the world and travel he
has during the fourth season of Parker's
Trail shot in 2020 the young Miner
jetted down to Australia failure to seek
out more gold this time around he teamed
up with 24 year old gold miner and model
Tyler Mahoney the 24 year old miner is
the star of discovery's Aussie gold
hunters and has also appeared on Gold
Rush the dirt clearly the world wants
gold mining content and the Discovery
Channel is more than happy to oblige the
20-somethings had much in common they
were both passionate about gold mining
they look good on camera together and
they're on camera chemistry worked
viewers were hoping for a romance but
sadly the two never confirmed a
relationship while it's possible
something happened behind the scenes
between them given how private Parker is
viewers will just have to accept that
they'll never really know Tyler herself
even went so far as to clear rumors up
during a q a following their time
filming together this is the only Parker
question I'm going to answer because
I've been inundated with this me and
Parker have a very good relationship we
get on very well we chat regularly work
wise hopefully we do have a work
relationship in the future but right now
there's a global pandemic Tyler also
went on to post a cryptic photo of her
cuddling up to a handsome bloke named
Jake Bennett on Instagram in October of
2021. clearly she and Parker had moved
on onward and upward Parker is living
proof that hard work determination and
diligence is a road to success over the
course of his young life so far he's
retrieved millions of dollars in gold
from the ground and with his success in
mining and starring in and even becoming
a producer reality TV shows he's gained
a net worth of almost 10 million dollars
some might assume that Parker lives in a
large mansion and rumors did swell for a
short time that he purchased a million
dollar home in Alaska however he quickly
squashed those rumors we're buying new
equipment to improve our operation he
shared I don't own a boat or any fancy
cars or a fancy house I have a big
expensive sandbox instead luxury to
Parker is continuing to film traveling
the world in search of gold and
succeeding in his business by that
definition Parker is truly living a life
of luxury
