The deck boss of the vessel Northwestern, 43, has amassed a net worth of $1.8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

A majority of Jake’s wealth comes from his time on Deadliest Catch. He has featured in all seasons of the Discovery Channel show season 3 in since 2007. Anderson’s debut came in episode 7, titled New Beginnings, as Captain Sig Hansen’s greenhorn aboard Northwestern. At the time, he was determined to prove himself as a valuable member.

In 2012, he was promoted to deck boss and went on to obtain his USCG Mat 1600-ton fishing license, along with a Master 100-ton fishing license.

Outside of fishing, he is an avid skateboarder and scored a sponsorship with American footwear and clothing company DVS Shoes. Jake created a signature skateboard shoe with the company.

Anderson has captained F/V Saga since 2015, meaning his salary has likely increased since his early Deadliest Catch days.

Jake has been married to wife Jenna Anderson since 2012

When Captain Jake is not sailing through the rough seas, he is home with his wife Jenna Anderson, and their three children.

According to Screener TV, as reported by Heavy, Jake and Jenna first met at a festival in Seattle. He was reportedly on shipyard duty when the festival was ongoing. Jenna was among the people who approached him for an autograph, which he signed: “You’re beautiful,” and the rest is history.

The pair celebrated their 11th anniversary in May 2023.
