Every Cast Member Of Ice Road Truckers' Net Worth | TheRichest
The History Channel is one premium TV channel that delivers reality-based shows and hit series like no other. From Forged in Fire to Vikings, this channel rarely lets its viewers down. One good example is the reality show Ice Road Truckers. While these drivers roam frozen lands, there's nothing cold about their ratings and their fan base.
The show aired for 11 seasons from 2007 to 2017, and in that decade we've come to know and got invested in its real-life characters. Ten years in a show is a long time, but now that the series is over, how did the people who appeared in Ice Road Truckers fare in this 11-season run? Reportedly, they weren’t paid a great deal for appearing on the show. Here are ten of them and their net worth.
10 Alex Debogorski
Alex Debogorski is the one and only driver that's been with the show from the beginning to the very end. This only tells us the dedication of the man and that he is truly an ice road trucker. His years driving the cold is just six more than the number of children and grandchildren he has.
He's been at it for 26 long years and is one of the most reliable truckers in the game. With the money he's getting from this perilous service, he's able to come home to his nine grandchildren and give each of them a nice gift from Pop-pop! We'd think that his net worth would be up the charts, but it's a decent $400 K according to Celebrity Net Worth.
9 Lisa Kelly
Not only is Lisa Kelly the longest-tenured woman driver in the show, she is also one of the most tenured drivers after Alex Debogorski. Having joined the show primarily in Season 3, she saw it through until the end except for the sixth season. A fan favorite and a great driver, Lisa Kelly has long earned the respect of her fellow drivers, even before she joined the show. How many people can say they know a woman ice road trucker, let alone a great one? Lisa Kelly is both and more as we consistently saw in the show. Her net worth according to Celebrity Net Worth is $500,000.
8 Darrell Ward
Darrell Ward joined Ice Road Truckers in Season 6, and was Lisa Kelly’s partner. He would have finished all the way to the last season had it not been because of a plane accident that took his life. He was born and grew up in Montana, and that's where his plane crash-landed on an airfield near Rock Creek, Montana. US Weekly reports that Ward just attended the 2016 Great American Truck Show in Dallas, mingled with some fans, and was headed back to Missoula when the tragic plane crash happened. It was just him and his pilot, and there was no evidence of any foul play after the official investigation. Before this Ward's net worth was about $500,000, rest in peace Darrell.
7 Art Burke
Art Burke was one of the new drivers that joined the show later in the 7th season. He may be a bit secretive about his personal life, but his story on the show was there for us to witness. We also know for a fact that he has a family and a granddaughter. He started out with the company VP Express under Hugh Rowland but was fired and has since been driving for Polar, where he continued to lend his services and skills until the final 11th season. Polar had a powerhouse driver line-up alongside Burke: Debogorski, Steph Custance, and Todd Dewey. In five seasons with Ice Road Truckers, Art Burke's net worth ballooned to upwards of $500,000 according to E Celebrity Facts.
6 Todd Dewey
Todd Dewey's story in History's Ice Road Truckers is kind of like Art Burke's. Both were new drivers coming into the seventh season and both held on till the last episode of the reality show. While Burke is from Newfoundland, Dewey is a Washington native. Both truckers have an approximated net worth of $500,000.
Earlier in January 2019, Overdrive reported that Todd Dewey had been in a road accident in Washington. He was lucky to have no injuries in the fatal accident, but the people in the car that crashed onto his log truck was not so lucky, killing both the passenger and driver. Everyone involved wore seat belts and nobody was under the influence.
5 Rick Yemm
Rick Yemm was part of the original drivers of the reality hit show Ice Road Truckers as he was in the roster for the first and second seasons. He was so memorable and fans loved him so that the only smart move was to go back later in the 5th and 6th seasons. Yemm may just be the most distinctive of all the drivers, not just because of the blue mohawk hairstyle he sported, but also with his apparel and personality. His blue mohawk is just an intro to the rich persona the man has portrayed in the show, making him an easy fan favorite, and leading him have a net worth of $600,000 according to Aussie Celebs.
4 Drew Sherwood
Fans of the History reality hit show Ice Road Truckers who tuned in later in the series may not know who Drew Sherwood is. But those lucky enough to have been fans since Season 1, Episode 1, know very well who Drew Sherwood. Sherwood is a veteran trucker but his first stint in the show was also his first year as an ice road trucker. He soon finds out how harsh the ice is on the road and especially on the drivers. He continued with his hard luck through Season 2 but he is still one of the cast members with a higher net worth that's approximated at $650 K. We can also see his other TV appearances in his IMDB profile.
3 Steph Custance
If you found Lisa Kelly to be an unbelievably beautiful ice road trucker, then you might go crazy learning that there's another bombshell that joined the truckers in Season 10 of Ice Road Truckers. The model's name is Steph Custance, a very young driver in ice road trucker standards, and young in real life at 22-years old when the show started featuring her. We can't really compare Steph to Lisa, they are two different women, aesthetically and professionally. Lisa Kelly is a hell of a driver, Steph Custance is a hell of a learner. She's just getting the hang of truck driving when she was hired by Polar. But this challenge did not stop her from getting a net worth of $800,000 according to Aussie Celebs.
2 Hugh Rowland
When it comes to net worth of all Ice Road Truckers drivers, the big frozen kahuna is Hugh Rowland. The man has come a long way from being just in the original cast of drivers for the History Channel's reality show, he's been doing a lot of other stuff besides braving the frozen roads and maneuvering slippery slopes. Rowland's net worth according to TV Over Mind is at an impressive $2 million, being the main man of the show from Season 1 through 8, he wasted no time with his popularity and position. The unfortunate departure from the show is the only thing that's not good news about Hugh Rowland and Ice Road Truckers as it involved a lawsuit, unfortunately.
1 Thom Beers
That voice we hear on every start of the show telling us about the mission and the challenge in Season 1 is none other than Thom Beers. He may not have driven a single truck or traveled on the ice in any one of these shows, but he is certainly a big part of the show as much as any driver in it ever was. As producer of the show, it was his vision that pushed the show to become a reality. Thom Beers is not just known for Ice Road Truckers, and this is why he has a net worth of $25 million as reported by Celebrity Net Worth. He was also known for shows like The Deadliest Catch, Storage Wars, and Ax Men. His brand as producer are shows that have a dangerous side to them.
