When it comes to the game of Big Brother, there are only a select few contestants who have managed to excel in the competition with legendary status, Dan Gheesling being one of them!
Dan Gheesling first came to prominence back in 2008 when he joined the cast of Big Brother in its tenth season. The star not only surprise fans with his cunning sense of humor, but Dan proved himself one of the greatest by snagging the season win.
In 2012, Dan returned to the BB house for yet another go at the winning title, however, Gheesling was the runner-up losing to newbie, Ian Terry. With nearly a decade since Dan's last appearance on the show, here is what the iconic player is up to today.
Where Is Dan Gheesling Today?
Dan Gheesling absolutely dominated his time on BB10, not only proving himself to be worthy of the win but easily one of the few contestants to have quite literally studied Big Brother down to a science.
Dan's win in 2008 allowed him to take home the $500,000 and for a 24-year-old Catholic school teacher, that was quite a lot of money for Gheesling to walk away with.
Following his first season, Gheesling was deemed the best player of all time, mainly due to his beautifully thought out plan and strategy. While winnings competitions, which Dan did plenty of, is important, one's social and mental game is just as critical, which Gheesling certainly knew about.
After returning to the series 4 years later, Dan proved his skill set yet again, soaring to the final 2 only to lose out on the half a million a second time around by Ian Terry, who claimed to have learned the game through Dan Gheesling.
While the star still holds the Big Brother game near and dear to his heart, his days in the BB house are long gone, or so we thought! When All-Stars was announced in place of BB22, fans speculated Dan would be returning, however, that wasn't the case! Today, Dan is not only a TV personality, but the star has taken his talents online!
Gheesling started a YouTube channel back in 2018 centered around his love and passion for gaming. His channel has since amassed nearly 100,000 subscribers and has catapulted his live-streaming audience.
Considering his grand prize win and runner-up check, Dan earned quite a lot from CBS, which in turn came in handy with investments, and businesses, allowing Gheesling to earn himself an impressive net worth of $5 million!
As if being a teacher, live streamer, influencer, and Big Brother legend wasn't enough, Dan is also a full-time dad!
Dan and his wife, Chelsea, currently share two kids together, 5-year-old Desmond and 3-year-old Miles, who have all made appearances on Gheesling's social media.
Well, it appears as if the couple is expanding the family after revealing that they are expecting their third child! The duo announced back at the end of May that they are excited for baby number three on an Instagram post holding the sonogram.
