Bering Sea Gold Season 15 is here, and this reminds us that it’s already been over 4 years since we last saw Ken Kerr on the show (if we don’t count his appearance in S13E02). And also, since his time on Discovery was short, this reminds us of a lot of unanswered questions like: is the reality star married? – which we will talk about next.
Read on to find out all about Ken Kerr’s married life.
Ken Kerr’s Wife: Is the “Gold of the Bering Sea” Star Married?
Yes, Ken Kerr is married to Laura Jean Kerr. Or at least it was the last one we reviewed.
Additionally, at the time, the duo owned 1,812,096 square feet of undeveloped land (with over 20 acres that had the potential to be developed for further use) in Bakersfield, CA. His property is valued at a total of $47,000 with an annual tax of about $5.5,000.
The Bering Sea Gold star’s wife, Laura J, was born on November 18, 1956. Together they have a son named Daniel Gabriel Kerr, born in 1987.
Unfortunately, Ken never discussed his married life in public. So we don’t have much information about his wife.
In fact, he never likes to talk about his personal life. But for someone who likes to keep low-key, it certainly hasn’t avoided controversies like the time Bering Sea Gold season 9 came in the context of an ongoing lawsuit against Ken’s company, Arctic Sea Mining LLC.
In case you missed it, in November 2019, two Nome high school students filed a lawsuit against the company for injuries they sustained during a previous collision with one of the company’s bulldozers.
The incident occurred in late October 2018. Two sisters and their friend were driving on Port Road in Nome. They hit a cable stretched along the road. One end of the cable was connected to a construction charger and the other was connected to the legendary Bering Sea gold dredge Myrtle Irene (Kenn’s estate).
How old is Ken Kerr?
Ken Kerr was 62 years old in 2023.
He is four years younger than his wife Laura Jean Kerr.
Ken Kerr pays in Bering Sea Gold
Ken Kerr appeared on Bering Sea Gold for all three seasons (10, 11, and 12). So considering the cast was paid between $100,000 and $250,000 per season, Ken could earn a salary of over $350,000.
Unfortunately, after season 12, he only appeared once on season 13 of the Discovery show. For that season, Ken’s opponent Shawn was the new captain of Myrtle Irene, and fans had some interesting theories as to why he left the show.
But Ken admitted that he wanted to focus on beach mining at the moment, which obviously wasn’t a satisfying answer, since it was such a big part of the previous seasons. Also, if he did in fact leave the show, wouldn’t he or the producers make an official statement in his stead?
Now speaking of the fan theories, the most interesting one is that the producers don’t want him on the show anymore due to the lawsuit (discussed above). In addition, another theory said that because of the incident with the cable, Ken lost the credibility of the Golden King. So they fired him!
Ken Kerr Net Worth
Bering Sea Gold star Ken Kerr flaunted a net worth of over $2 million in 2022.
This reality star owns the famous Myrtle Irene excavator, a 600-ton dredging machine. In addition, according to some reports, he owned around 380 patented mining claims and had 900 acres under lease.
Its dredge, the 120-foot-long Myrtle Irene, is currently the largest in Nome, Alaska, and its land mine is currently one of the largest in the country. (Shawn Pomrenke is said to have replaced Myrtle Irene.)
In addition, Ken also built the Arctic Sea and Arctic Gold Mining companies with business partner David (Dave) Young. These two large mining corporations conducted offshore and onshore mining operations.
Prior to the Arctic Gold Mining name, the company was known as Nome Gold Alaska. Following the name change/sale, ownership of the land and all Nome Gold Alaska equipment was also transferred to Arctic Gold Mining. And then Ken and David became two of the five new principal owners of the business.
In addition, Ken was also listed as the owner of Windriver Holdings (now defunct) and Ken Kerr Automotive Equipment Ltd.
