Born on March 26, 1975, Shawn “Mr. Gold” Pomrenke is a gold miner and a reality television personality. His father, Steve Pomrenke, dreamt of becoming a gold miner in Alaska while growing up on a Minnesotan dairy farm. He worked hard and several decades later launched his first gold venture, which unfortunately failed. However, he did not lose heart and tried again with his son, Shawn. The father-son duo moved to Nome, Alaska, when Shawn was only 13, and thanks to his father, he started working as a gold miner as a teenager the following year.
Shawn and Steve’s last-ditch effort worked, and they literally struck gold. The father-son duo ended up establishing themselves in the gold mining industry. When it comes to Shawn’s relationships, there are a lot of rumors; however, during a Reddit AMA, the gold miner clarified that he is not married. But since 2016, there is little information about his relationship status, and Shawn is notorious for keeping his personal life away from the public eye. However, his career as a gold miner and television personality has been quite impressive, and he has earned considerable fortune. But before we go deeper and look into that, here’s an overview of his career so far.
How Did Shawn Pomrenke Make His Money?

Over the years, Shawn has starred in several television shows like ‘Bering Sea Gold: After the Dredge,’ ‘Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice,’ and ‘Gold Rush: The Dirt.’ Plus, he has been in numerous episodes on ‘Bering Sea Gold.’ Apart from being a reality television star and a skilled gold miner, Shawn is also a savvy businessman.
