He joined the show “Gold Rush: Alaska” officially in its second season, and remained under Parker until the end of the eighth season, and from its ninth season Rick has become a mine boss. So he didn’t leave the show, quite the opposite – he became his own boss. This only increased his wealth, and he now receives $20,000 per episode of the “Gold Rush: Alaska” series.
