History
Since finishing eighth on SURVIVOR: PEARL ISLANDS, Rupert Boneham had been
preparing for his second chance to become the Sole Survivor but failed only to win the popular vote
and the second million dollar give away. So Rupert is now a Millionaire.
He will open his own youth center in helping out kids, now that he has the money. Way to go Rupert.
Born in Detroit, Rupert moved with his parents at a young age to Indiana
where he eventually attended Haworth High School in Kokomo. He then moved
to Texas to study nursing at Cisco Junior College and San Angelo University.
He currently resides in Indianapolis, where he works as a vocational and
clinical mentor for troubled teens. He also drives camera trucks for college
football during the season. He previously worked as a gravedigger and
a bartender. His hobbies include scuba diving, camping and coin collecting.
His favorite sport is racquetball. He describes himself as strong, smart
and brave. He is proudest of becoming independent/self-employed and being
able to care for his family while not having to live in the nine-to-five
world.
Rupert and his wife, Laura have one four-year-old daughter, Raya. His
birth date is January 27, 1964.
History
From Past Survivor Rupert got betrayed in the last Pearl Islands Survivor
because he trusted too much. He did not play the game well and lost but
was the most popular character then and is still the most popular.
