Split: 6
What is Tony Bates’ net worth?
Tony Beets is a Dutch-born Canadian miner and reality TV celebrity with a net worth of US$15 million. Beets was born on December 15, 1959 in Wiedennes, the Netherlands, and is best known for starring in the Discovery Channel series “Gold Rush” (2011 to present). It has become one of the highest-ranked series on the channel due to the extraordinary characters appearing on the show and the dramatic tensions that occur daily in the active gold mine.
The official “Gold Rush” website described Tony as “a maverick mining legend” and “an otherworldly Dutchman who runs one of the largest mines in Klondike”. Beets’ addiction to swear words caused his conversations to be often overlooked on the show and earned him the nickname “Tony Peep” from his hometown.
Profession
Tony has worked for his family for many years, earning money by milking, but then moved to Canada to find better career opportunities. After working in the construction industry for three years, Beets began mining in Dawson City, Yukon, in 1984. Today, he runs the Tamarak Mine, which is known for hiring local teenagers. Although many people are not qualified for this job, those who can crack it will become indispensable members of the team and the Beets family.
Tony began appearing in the “Gold Rush” in the second season of the show, when he was advising actor Todd Hoffman on drilling test holes. Beets also appeared in “Gold Rush: South America” (2013), “Gold Rush: Paying for the Dirt” (2017), “Gold Rush: White Water” (2018) and “Gold Rush: Dirt” (2013-2020) )中) and the 2013 documentary miniseries “Golden Fever”. At the time of writing, beets have appeared in more than 160 episodes of the “Gold Rush”.

personal life
Tony met his future wife Minnie when they were children. The two lived next door when they grew up in Burgwerd, Friesland, and they started dating in 1978. After Tony and Minnie were together for 18 months, he decided to move to Canada and Minnie went with him. The couple married when Tony was 24 and Minnie was 23. They had four children, Kevin, Monica, Mike and Bianca. Sadly, they also have a daughter, Jasmine, who died in 1992 when she was only 2 1/2 months old.
All Beets’ children are involved in the family business, and Minnie is responsible for the company’s paperwork and accounting. Tony and Minnie own a winter home in Arizona, and Beetroot reportedly owns a Mercedes convertible worth about $145,000. In the 2015 “Gold Rush” episode, Tony found himself in hot water. The show showed one of his employees watering his dredging pond with gasoline and setting it on fire. According to the Yukon Waters Act, he was charged for the so-called “Viking Baptism” and the employee who poured gasoline was ordered to pay a fine of $1,725.
