Gold Rush Alaska Reality Stars Net Worth
How Much Gold has" Gold Rush Alaska" really found?
The Stars of Gold Rush Alaska |
The first season of the show was named Gold Rush Alaska and features six men from Sandy, Oregon, which is a small town located 30 miles southeast of Portland. In season 2 the show was renamed simply "Gold Rush". Todd Hoffman forfeits a lease on Porcupine Creek after "Dakota" Fred Hurt buys the claim from under him from the owner Earl Foster.
Between seasons two and three of the Gold Rush Show, Todd Hoffman and some crew members travel to a far-flung region in Guyana, South America hunting for gold during the Klondike frozen winter season. Even though the crew does find gold at the claims location, it's not worth the effort to cover the high cost of the remote mining area halfway around the world.
Season 4 began airing August 2013, but the real show was premiered on the 25th day of October 2013. It begins with "Gold Rush -The Dirt Episode" as a pre-season opener. Season 5 premiered on the 17th, October 2014 missing one of the most colorful characters on the Gold Rush Show, Dakota Fred. In fact, there was no mention of Dakota Fred coming back to the Gold Rush Season 5 found anywhere. That is until Fred himself posted a message on his Facebook page basically saying none of the Dakota Boys will be appearing on the Gold Rush Show anytime in the near future.
Fred's figured out the miners aren't the only ones finding gold on this show and apparently wants his contract renegotiated before returning for another successful season. Something tells me, like always, Fred will eventually get his way and hopefully return in Gold Rush Season 6.

Todd was willing to put his entire net worth on the line for a chance at the American Dream where you can become a millionaire in a single season. Unfortunately, after the first four Gold Rush Seasons, Hoffman's spent considerably more money compared to how much gold was recovered.
Last year in season 5 when Todd and Jack were abandoned by most of the crew, the Hoffman's were more determined than ever to prove they have what it takes to become successful gold miners. Todd Hoffman is finally starting to make a profit Gold Mining on a large scale. After finding more gold in a single year than all others combined, Todd Hoffman's Net Worth is once again approaching the million dollar mark.

Jack Hoffman is Todd's father who's been Gold Mining for over 25 years. One phrase I remember him saying to the crew in the first season and one I'll never forget is, "You're Already Millionaire's, you just have to go dig it out of the ground". Jack Hoffman's Net Worth also increased last season to an estimated $500,000.00 as he continues to dig towards the million dollar mark.

I remember Fred's house. No way someone with $3.5M and living away from the coasts lives like that. Other than that, who knows. I suspect most are south of what you say and Parker should be higher. Living at home in the off season. His expenses have to be near nil.
ReplyDeleteYou need to attribute where you get your numbers so others can fact check.
The equipment to operate these mines are worth megabucks. I can see where a person could easily have a million $'s worth of equipment to operate even a small mine. If I remember right, and I always do, Fred's home was a farmhouse. And farmland can easily be worth $10k per acre. Do you see where I'm going??? Being worth $3.5m, doesn't mean you've got $3.5m cash just laying around. It means you have assets and property totaling over $3.5m and I can see that very easily. These aren't the flashy "Duck Dynasty" guys here. For the most part these appear to be hard working, simple folks. Not flashy, showy people,
DeleteFred's house was a pre-fab, a trailer.
DeleteBILLIONAIRE Warren Buffet still lives in the house he and his wife bought over 40 years ago. He could pay CASH for any house in the WORLD!
DeleteIn fact, it's just a 1400 sq. ft. ranch. Mr. Buffet can pay CASH for any house in the WORLD!
DeleteSo did Sam Walton.
DeleteIf you think you can figure someone's worth by their home, you're mistaking.
ReplyDeleteParker has more than 1 million in equipment alone and mined 4 million in gold in two seasons alone he has to be worth double what they said
ReplyDelete$4 million in gold total over 2 years isn't profit for the 2 seasons...
DeleteAssets-liabilities=Owner Equity.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a million in assets and loans of $900,000, you are NOT a millionaire
Oh yes you are a millionaire!
DeleteNo you are not. If I purchase a house for one million dollars but have to take out a mortgage for $800,000 to complete the sale that makes my net worth about $200,000 ont counting any other assets or liabilities. The $800,000 mortgage is a liability on a net worth statement not an asset. Econ 101 people
DeleteYou need to take an accounting class or....two there ace!
DeleteSeems like Buford France, needs to retake accounting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_worth . Liabilities DO come out of ones net worth.
DeleteYou or anyone else will never know what any of these guys are really worth! Cash Money and especially gold is not traceable!
DeleteWhere do you think the money goes? Back into the operation.
ReplyDeleteI love watching Gold Rush, all the miners are my favorites. My questions, why doesn't Parker, work with his team? One more body will make more. His crew will leave him.
ReplyDeleteParker does a he)) of a lot more work than old fat azz todd!
ReplyDeleteLies! Long live Todd! Viva la Sandy!
DeleteYou don't keep getting fatter by working...you get that way from sitting on your azz and doing nothing!
DeleteTodd is so disgusting and lazy, he's really good at bossing people but it's rare to see him work, even tony beets gets down and dirty, and Todd gets fatter each show.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Todd's only part is to walk around telling people to work harder so he can beat Parker. Parker has disappointed me this year with the way he has run his crew. He is going to be on his own if he keeps it up. This area is where he comes up short and his age shows through. He has no clue how much his crew is doing for him but I fear he is about to find out.
DeleteWOW!Just WOW ...
ReplyDeleteBuford isn't real bright is he?
ReplyDeleteI don't like the way Parker treats his crew either. They kept complaining Parker wasn't around much; where was he?
ReplyDeleteTony would scare me...
I wish I knew what their operating costs were because it must be HUGE. I bet at least 75% of the profits go right back into the operation.
Buford isn't at all ๐๐๐
