Alex has also appeared in several other similar-themed shows, such as "Ice Pilots NWT", "IRT: Deadliest Roads" and "Ice Road Truckers Canada". He is also the author of the book "King of the Road: True Tales from a Legendary Ice Road Trucker".
Have you ever wondered how much wealth this "John Wayne Driving a Truck" has accumulated so far? How rich Alex Debogorski is? According to celebrity dot money, it is estimated that the total amount of Alex Debogorski's net worth, as of late 2017, exceeds the sum of 700,000 dollars, acquired through his now over 36 years-long truck driving career, and TV appearances.
Alex was one of five children of Irene and Stanley Debogorski, and is of British and Polish descent. He grew up on a farm, and later enrolled at the University of Alberta. Prior to discovering truck driving as his life calling, Alex worked on several jobs, including positions such as a club bouncer, taxi driver, coal miner, oil rigger as well as a tire store proprietor. For some time he was a diamond prospector, as well as a mobile homes ’flipper’. All these jobs provided the basis of Alex Debogorski's net worth, as well as an opportunity to eventually buy his first truck in 1980.
Although he began his truck driving career in the early 1980s, Alex only came to prominence in 2006 when he was approached by History Channel's film crew with an offer to join the cast of the new reality TV show - "Ice Road Truckers". The show, which began airing in June 2007, follows the lives, daily activities and routines of truck drivers operating on seasonal routes in Canada's remote Arctic territories, abundant with frozen roads, lakes and rivers. Alex featured as one of the show's main figures throughout its ten seasons before the show was discontinued in December 2016. Not only that, this engagement has helped him to reach legendary driver status, and has also provided the majority of Alex Debogorski's revenues over the past 10 years, so significantly increasing his net worth.
Apart from the show, Alex is not just a regular trucker, he is also a public speaker focused on topics such as risk taking and change management, as well as treasure hunting. In 2010, Alex released his first book - "King of the Road: True Tales from a Legendary Ice Road Trucker", a biographical mix of Alex's stories, anecdotes as well as his childhood memories. Alex also regularly contributes articles to local newspaper "The Yellowknifer". It is certain that these accomplishments have helped Alex Debogorski to further increase the size of his wealth.
Despite not being able to watch him anymore on "Ice Road Truckers", Alex will likely stay remembered as the show's most respected driver, of the most charismatic persona with his never-ending stories as well as his infectious laugh.
When it comes to his personal life, Alex has been married since 1972 to Louise with whom he has 11 children. When he is not on the road, he resides with his large family, currently including 14 grandchildren and counting, in Yellowknife, in Canada’s North West Territories.

Disappointed Ice Road Truckers has been cancelled. An honourable man,and an inspiration. Sorry that we wont see you on the screens any more. It pales into insignificance though,when considering he lost his disabled son in a house fire a few weeks ago. Our prayers go out to the family.
