How did Shane Kilcher Make His Money & Wealth?
Born on May 5, 1971, Shane Kilcher is the son of Atz Kilcher and Lenedra Carroll. One of three children, he has a brother named Atz Lee and a sister named Jewel, the latter of whom is a popular singer. According to an interview with his sister, life at home was not all too kind as their father was often abusive. Raised in the Kilcher homestead, he attended Homer Senior High School, where he was an active member of the volleyball team.Â
In 2011, it was announced that his extended family would be the feature of a new reality series titled, Alaska: The Last Frontier. While the program premiered on December 29, 2011, it wasn’t until the second season that Shane made his debut in an episode titled, The River Wild. From there, he eventually joined the main cast in season three, which began to air in 2013.
In addition to him, the show also focused on his wife Kelli Kilcher, as the two live together in Alaska, where they’re working to build a homestead. In terms of the other cast members, the series also stars Otto Kilcher, Charlotte Kilcher, Atz Lee Kilcher, Jane Kilcher, to name a few. While his sister Jewel has made a few appearances, she does not appear regularly on the program (most likely due to her busy music career).
Responsible for his rise to fame, the show has undoubtedly played a large role in his rise to fame. As of 2018, he has appeared in well over 50 episodes (though he is absent from the current season). Considering the series’ popularity, it’s likely that he’s paid a decent amount for his appearances—but how much? While the exact details have not been disclosed, it’s said that each of the Kilcher family members receives a minimum of $8,000 per episode. Doing the math, it’s obvious that the show would have earned him a considerable sum over the years!
