Monica Beets, born on the 7th of November 1993 in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada, is a Canadian reality television personality and gold miner who became famous through the show Gold Rush on the Discovery Channel. She became known as the twenty-something girl who became a supervisor of her family’s gold mining company, instructing men twice her age on what to do.
Beets is the daughter of Tony and Minnie Beets and came from a big family with four siblings. Her younger sister, Jasmine, died soon after birth. Her older sister, Bianca, and younger sister, Mikayla, survived, as well as her brother, Kelvin. Nothing is known about her educational background, but her involvement in the family business suggests that she forewent college education. Beets’s family has always been involved in the gold mining business, so it’s no surprise that she also became a part of the family business.
At age 12, she was already learning about heavy machinery and was being trained by her father. By the time she was 16, she was already working full-time in her father’s mining operation, which certainly helped establish her career and net worth.
Monica Beets continued to work for her father, and by the time she was 18, had become a supervisor at Paradise Hill. When she was 21, her life became even more interesting when her family joined the cast of the reality Discovery Channel show Gold Rush. Originally called Gold Rush: Alaska, it is a reality television series following the lives of a group of gold miners and their families around Dawson City. The show premiered in December 2010 and instantly became a huge hit for the network.
Beets’s family joined the show in its second season and immediately became a well-loved part of the show. Monica eventually joined the show in its fifth season and became a favorite among the cast and viewers. Beets became one of the members of the Beets crew in her family’s gold mining group at Paradise Hill. She took care of the daily routine of the group and was also tasked with resolving any obstructions to their gold mining business. She also became popular for bossing around men twice her age. The show’s popularity catapulted her to fame and increased her net worth tremendously.
Today, Beets and her family are still part of Gold Rush, which continues to attract a huge following on the Discovery Channel Network. Monica has blonde hair and hazel eyes. In terms of body measurements, Beets is five feet four inches (1.62 meters) tall and reputedly weighs 135 pounds (62 kilograms). Information about her vital statistics, shoe, and dress size isn’t known. As of mid-2018 and based on authoritative sources, Beets’s net worth is reported to be close to 1.5 million dollars, acquired from her profession as a gold miner as well as her income from the reality television show Gold Rush. It was reported that she earns around $200,000 per season, which has helped increase her wealth.
In terms of her personal life, Beets is a married woman. Before settling down, Beets was known to be the crush of fellow Gold Rush cast member Parker Schnabel, but any relationship didn’t blossom into a romantic one. She was also known to have dated Brandon Harper, another fellow cast member in Gold Rush, but that relationship also ended. Finally, she met Taylor Mays, and they tied the knot on the 11th of August 2018 in Dawson City. Her beautiful hometown served as the perfect backdrop to their rustic wedding, attended by family, friends, and colleagues.
Aside from being a gold miner, Beets is also interested in becoming a primary care paramedic, but so far, she hasn’t been able to take time to pursue this passion of hers. She has a pet dog named Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein, named after her favorite musician.
In terms of social media presence, Beets is active on various platforms. She has a Twitter account with over 40,000 followers, 45,000 on her Instagram account, and a Facebook fan page with over 120,000 followers.
