Rick Lagina—if you’ve seen The Curse of Oak Island, this name is almost certainly familiar to you. Rick Lagina, born Richard George Lagina, is an American actor, producer, and television personality, best known for directing and producing television programs and documentaries alongside his younger brother Marty. Some of these include The Curse of Civil War Gold, The Curse of Oak Island, and Beyond Oak Island. Even before these performances were developed in the early 2010s, the Lagina brothers had amassed a lot of popularity and riches through their various businesses. Rick Lagina became well known after appearing on television.

Let’s start with his early life. He was born on January 25th, 1952, in Kingsford, Dickinson County, Michigan. He attended Kingsford High School with his younger brother Marty, but did not go on to obtain a bachelor’s or master’s degree. Instead, he started working as a postal worker for the United States Postal Service. He began by living in his home state of Michigan, but later moved on to Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota, to mention a few. He is still involved in several businesses, which he manages during the off-season, while enjoying hobbies like wood turning and reading about history.

He and his brother became interested in Oak Island in the 1960s after reading about it in the January 1965 issue of Reader’s Digest. After nearly five decades in various fields, the two brothers resolved to learn more about the enigma in the 2010s when they were both in their 50s. Rick spent the majority of his time after high school working as a postal worker and occasionally assisting his brother with his businesses, but did not operate any himself. The Lagina brothers’ wealth stems from their popular reality television series about the infamous Oak Island. Marty and his brother were approached by Prometheus Entertainment in the 2010s, after retiring from their jobs as postal workers, to create the television series The Curse of Oak Island. The show was picked up by A&E Networks, with whom the brothers secured multi-year contracts for approximately $20 million.

Both brothers invested their own money into the television series and began working as directors and executive producers, as well as actors. The first season of the show was a big success, capturing the attention of millions of viewers and earning another season.
