‘Deadliest Catch’ Star Wild Bill Wichrowski’s Net Worth is Proof That Crabber Life is Worth It

Season 20 of Deadliest Catch is creeping closer and closer to the end of its journey, and it has certainly been one for the books. The series has become a cultural phenomenon thanks to the in-depth look it provides viewers. Prior to the series, most people had no idea about the amount of risk involved in bringing delicious crab legs to our tables. Since the series premiere, fans have grown to love their favorite captains, crew, and even the fishing vessels themselves as they’ve come and gone.

One popular captain is Wild Bill Wichrowski, who is at the helm of the F/V Summer Bay in Season 20. Captain Bill joined the cast of Deadliest Catch in its sixth season as the Captain of the F/V Kodiak. Following the F/V Kodiak, he captained the F/V Cape Caution before settling in on the Summer Bay. Long before joining the Deadliest Catch, Bill had already been in the deep sea fishing industry for over 20 years. With such a lengthy career in the industry, what is Wild Bill Wichrowski’s net worth?

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Captain Bill has a net worth of $3 million. It makes sense that his net worth is so high; the dangers of deep sea fishing warrant a high paycheck, and he was in the industry long before joining the show. In fact, his time in the industry may have played a role in the strained relationship he had with his son, Zack Larson, who joined him on the show. Family is a touchy subject, especially when it is a father-and-son relationship. Now, things seem much better between them.

While Deadliest Catch fans know who Bill and his son Zack are, he also has another son, Jake, and a daughter, Delia. Zack and Jake are his children from his first marriage. Both sons are married and have kids, but not much is known about his daughter. It’s good that he was able to mend his relationship with his kids, especially since he received some very difficult news about his health. He also is currently in a relationship with Shaunta Scott, and the couple looks quite happy together.

In Season 20, one of the first episodes of the Season, viewers watched Captain Bill learn that he has prostate cancer. A cancer diagnosis is devastating as is, but the field that Bill works in makes the news even more difficult to hear. He has already had to deal with a lot of trials, especially the death of his deck boss, Nick McGlashan, in 2020. Luckily, Bill has shared that his numbers look good, and it seems that the treatments are going well.
