Gene Cheeseman – Active Since 2017 – $1 Million

Gene Cheeseman is another miner who found success after joining the “Gold Rush.” He was first introduced in the show at the start of season four in 2017. Cheeseman was known for working as a foreman on the Parker Crew at Scribner Creek Claim and as skipper on the Viking Dredge for the Beets Crew on the Eureka Creek Claim.

He left the series in 2020, and although his stay was not as long compared to others, he was able to earn a net worth of $1 million. We can still catch his expedition on the 2020 episodes of “Gold Rush.”
