About Rick Lagina

Rick Lagina, whose full name is Richard George Lagina, is an American actor, producer, and television personality that’s best known for his work on television series and documentaries that he directed and produced with his younger brother Marty. Among some of these are The Curse of Civil War Gold, The Curse of Oak Island, and Beyond Oak Island. Even before these shows were produced (in the early 2010s), both Lagina brothers gained a ton of popularity and wealth from their additional businesses.

Retired U.S. postal worker and reality TV star Rick Lagina has an estimated net worth of $5 million dollars, as of 2023. Lagina has also been an executive producer of the series and starred in the reality TV series The Curse of Oak Island: Drilling Down beginning in 2016.

Rick Lagina rose to fame ever since his arrival on television. He was born on January 25, 1952, in Kingsford Dickinson County, Michigan. Alongside his younger brother Marty, he attended the local Kingsford High School, however, he did not pursue a bachelor’s or master’s degree after that. Instead, he began working as a postal worker for the US Postal Services. At first, he stayed in his native state of Michigan but then began exploring other states and lived in the likes of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota to name a few.

Both he and his brother became interested in the Oak Island during the 1960s after they read a story about it in the January 1965 issue of the Reader’s Digest magazine. After spending nearly five decades in other professions, the two brothers eventually decided to find out more about the mystery in the 2010s when they were both in the fifties. Prior to that, after his high school education, Rick spent most of his life working as a postal worker and occasionally helping his brother with his companies, however, he himself didn’t run any.

The reason why the Lagina brothers are so rich is their very well-liked reality television series that focuses on the infamous Oak Island. In the 2010s, after he retired from his position as a postal worker, Marty and his brother were contacted by Prometheus Entertainment for the creation of the television series The Curse of Oak Island. The show was picked by A&E Networks with whom the brothers signed multi-year contracts worth an estimated $20 million.

Both brothers invested in the television series with their own money and began working as directors and executive producers while also being on the other side of the camera. The first season of the show was a huge success as it intrigued millions of viewers and was eventually picked for some more. The story of the show focuses on the two brothers the infamous Oak Island where they are joined by other treasure hunters to find the speculated treasure or historical artifacts that are said to be there. By 2020, the show has aired seven well-received seasons and has over 112 episodes that the Lagina brothers not only starred in but also directed and produced.

The success of their first show eventually led to the creation of many other series such as The Curse of Civil War Gold, The Curse of Oak Island: Drilling Down, Ancient Aliens, and Beyond Oak Island. Besides being one of the two leading stars on the show, Rick continued to direct and produce almost all of the episodes of these projects. For the past decade, besides the original network History Canada, the realities have been on air in more than 10 countries around the world.

Beginning in the past decade, Rick Lagina has quickly established himself as a television star. Outside of their own realities, both Rick and his brother have starred in many other shows, with the most notable being The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. They have also been some of the most well-known stars on History Channel that have taken part in many television specials and documentaries.
