Netflix celebrity Wes Saunders had a successful career in sports before venturing into reality television. The 37-year-old is currently a contestant on the latest season of “Outlast: The Jungle,” a survival competition where 16 strangers vie for a $1 million prize by enduring the challenges of a jungle environment in Panama.

Among the participants are influencer Halle Cooley and former NFL player Wes, who began his professional football journey with the Pittsburgh Steelers in July 2011 as an undrafted free agent. Despite facing setbacks, including a suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy due to a positive test for Adderall, Wes managed to secure significant earnings from his sports career.

Estimates suggest Wes Saunders’ net worth is around $1.5 million, with reports from sources like The Tab indicating a net worth of $5 million. Regardless, he stands as one of the top earners on the Netflix show. The competition is still ongoing, with a few contestants remaining in contention for the grand finale scheduled for next week.

The current cast includes Sarah Awad, Abby Chu, Morgan Colburn, Braxton Fish, Pharaoh Gayles, Nikki Hru, Maddy Jones, Leiya Pillitteri, and Wes Saunders. Showrunner Mike Odair teased that this season presents a particularly intriguing group dynamic, with the setting in Panama adding a new layer of challenge and excitement to the competition.

“Outlast: The Jungle” Season 3 is available for streaming on Netflix, with the series finale set to air on Wednesday, June 17. Viewers can tune in to witness the culmination of this intense survival showdown.
