'The Challenge': What is Wes Bergmann worth? Contestant says he can be voted to elimination because he's 'rich'

Wes was pushed to the edge when his name came up. He proudly said that since he was 'rich' everyone could vote him out, putting him a step closer to losing the battle early in the competition

'The Challenge: Double Agents' has introduced a handful of twists this season, a string of which were rolled out in the premiere episode itself. The voting system for instance allowed every pair a chance to push another pair closer to elimination. 

In this week's episode, two teams ran the risk of being thrown into elimination. Wes Bergmann and Natalia Anderson and Big T and Joseph Allen. While The former pair come with experience and are ready to get the targets off their back, the latter came off as confused. 

Big T was done with Joseph not taking the game seriously and therefore, conspired against her own teammate. Right before the elimination round was "activated" she went and had quick chats with most people asking if they could cast their elimination votes against her and Joseph because that was the only way to get rid of him. 

Later, when the contestants grouped at an area to discuss the elimination, Wes was pushed to the edge when his name came up. He proudly said that since he was "rich" everyone could vote him out, putting him a step closer to losing the battle early in the competition. 

So, how rich is Wes and what's his net worth? According to Celebrity Net Worth, Wes' net worth is at $500,000. He is a "decorated veteran" and has won quite a few seasons, which explains the money. Meanwhile, fans have weighed in with their two cents on the matter with some believing that he was nowhere close to being rich.  

"Wes doing himself no favors by calling himself rich like that. #TheChallenge36," a fan tweeted while another shared: "I feel like Wes was being sarcastic when he said 'I am rich'... and some people just cant take sarcasm #TheChallenge36." "I am indeed rich. I love Wes #TheChallenge36," another pointed out. "Darrell: He’s not rich. Real ballers don’t tell. #TheChallenge36," a user pointed out. "Wes is rich! Ok...#TheChallenge36," another posted.
