Otto Kilcher was raised with five siblings by Yule Farenorth Kilcher and Ruth Helen Weber. He grew up in a small log cabin on the family’s farm in East End Road in Homer, Alaska, thus since an early age he helped in farm works. By the time he was teenager, he had become very interested in mechanics and fixing broken machinery around the farm. Starting as a hobby, over the years it became his job, as he became a master in all types of mechanical work, and is now involved in a boat transportation service, the Kenai Peninsula Cooperative Weed Management Area Council. Besides that, he is a member of the Kenai Peninsula Farm Bureau.
Before he and his family were cast in the Discovery’s reality TV series entitled “Alaska: The Last Frontier” (2011-present), Kilcher worked on his family ranch as a mechanic. However, his life changed in 2011, when he and his family were selected for the aforementioned TV series. Ever since then, his career has been in constant rise and also his popularity to the public, so without a doubt, his net worth will certainly become even bigger in the forthcoming years.

The seasons four and five are slated to have 20 episodes each, and season six is scheduled for the 2016, which will also add to Kilcher’s net worth.
