The Richest Survivor Contestants May Surprise You

Given the $1 million prize, it's shocking to learn that only two of the top 10 richest "Survivor" contestants actually won the show. Along with Richard Hatch, Rob Mariano also won the show after appearing on four different seasons, including "Survivor: Marquesas," "Survivor: All Stars," "Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains," and "Survivor: Redemption Island," which landed him the grand prize. After his win, and his runner-up win on "All-Stars," Mariano appeared on another reality hit, "Amazing Race," and is now said to be worth about $1.3 million (via The Richest).

The other richest contestants have earned their net worth via other ways, many of which joined the show with a few millions already in the bank. Candace Smith appeared on the show in 2009 and while she didn't win, she went on to compete in the 2013 Miss USA pageant and star in "The Millionaire Matchmaker." With a few movie and TV credits, along with a successful career in commercial real estate, she is said to be worth about $1.5 million (per Celebrity Net Worth).
