Net worth: $5 million
Bryant "Dragon" Arnold is a recurring cast member of The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch.
The popular History channel series features investigators and scientists working in tandem in order to explore the high strangeness occurring on the mysterious property. It's been reported that each cast member earns about $5,000 per episode of the series; however these figures can vary greatly from show to show.
As of this writing, the History channel show is entering its sixth season. And seeing as how it's a highly watched cable TV show, it's probable that cast members on the series negotiated for higher per episode rates for future seasons.
The owner of Skinwalker Ranch, Brandon Fugal, purchased the property in 2016 from Robert Bigelow, who owns the Budget Suites hospitality chain. Additionally, Bigelow runs his own aerospace firm, which is named after him.
He's helped fund research highlighting the anomalies present at Skinwalker Ranch after selling it.
Fugal's net worth is estimated to stand at a whopping $450 million, which wasn't amassed by his appearances on the show. The TV personality's foray into media seems primarily predicated on his passion for research, not necessarily a business endeavor.
Fugal amassed his wealth as a real estate developer. In addition to being featured on The Secrets of Skinwalker Ranch, he is the CEO of the realty business Colliers International, where he purportedly earns a $700,000 per year salary.
He's a licensed private security officer in the state of Utah and has published several books. Currently, Arnold has taken a hiatus from the series to focus on private family matters, namely, caring for his son.
Physicist Erik Bard who operates as the Skinwalker Ranch team's chief investigator has collaborated with Fugal for years as well, thanks to his specialty in physics. He helped design the surveillance system meant to monitor the property's activity and is said to have an identical net worth to Dragon's at $5 million.
Dr. Travis Taylor is largely associated with the program, but is a lauded aerospace engineer. He's worked with the Department of Defense and NASA and has applied his lifetime of knowledge to deciphering some of the weird occurrences at the ranch. His net worth is estimated to stand at around $19 million.
