Rick Mezich has a net worth of $200,000, according to networthpost. Rick was one of the captains in Deadliest Catch season one, which was released in 2005.

It is said that the fishermen and other crew members earn an impressive amount of money when they are on the job, but it may even cost them their lives.

He currently manages vessels in the UniSea/St. Paul CBSFA Central Bering Sea Fisheries Association fleet. The ship he looks after include F/V Starfish, Starlite, and Starward. However, he has been replaced as president of Starward since April 2022 and manages Starfish and Fierce Allegiance. 

He and his partner, Mary, own a 25% stake in St. Paul Fishing Company, as per their information on the website. The company manages fishing assets belonging to CBSFA, including vessels, gear, equipment, limited license permits (LLP), and certain crab, pollock, cod, and sablefish allocations.  

In addition, he and his wife, Mary, sold the 5,264-square-foot house with a pool built in 1999 on the north side of the Ancala Golf Club in Scottsdale in 2014 for $1,785,000, as mentioned in Azcentral. The couple now lives in Edmonds. 

Rick was in the first season of Deadliest Catch, where he and his crew worked the water between Russia and Alaska during the brutal '99 snow crab season, which took seven good men's lives.

Following the first season, the Tv personality did not appear again in the show. However, many fans believe that he may have earned pretty good money. An experienced deckhand could bring $25k-$50k home with the eight-week season.

According to Distractify, the captain can earn over $100k if they have a good catch. They do not get wages or salaries; they get payouts for what they bring back. Captain Kenny Ripka said he had made up to $150,000 to $170,000. However, others claim to have made millions. 

Jake Anderson claimed to have made as much as $2 million in 11 days. However, he is not even the most prosperous captain in the show. It is Sig Hansen who has around $3.5 million worth of fortune.
