Alex Lagina | Bio, Family, Marty Lagina's Son, Death, Net Worth, Job, the Curse of Oak Island, Wife, Age 32

Overview

The Curse of Oak Island strikes a certain uncertainty in some people, so much so that they are connecting "the curse" to the death of people related to the cast members in recent years. Dan Blankenship, a shareholder, was the latest one, however unrelated, to have passed away in March 2020 at the age of 95. Another stakeholder, Craig Tester's son Drake Tester passed away aged 16 in March 2017 due to a seized disorder he had since birth. But it wouldn't be right to make up Rick Lagina [net worth: $11 million] or Alex Lagina's death. Yes, the false rumors have been talked about so much more often than you think (discussed later).

Born in 1987, in Traverse City, Michigan, Alex Lagina is the son of younger Lagina brother, Marty Lagina [net worth: $110 million], with wife M. Olivia Lagina. He has a sister, Maddie Lagina, a Resident Physician at Michigan Medicine. A name, Lauren Mari Lagina also popped up in the obituaries for Alex's grandmother Ann & grandfather George, as well as his maternal grandfather Ivan Cooper (M Olivia's father).

And if you don't know Mari is the name of the Lagina brothers' grandmother, whom Marty's Mari Vineyard is named after. They haven't talked about Lauren yet, but she passed away a long time ago possibly as a young girl, because she's mentioned as deceased in all those obituaries. She is most-assuredly Alex and Maddie's other sibling.

Alex Lagina's Before Oak Island, Education & Job/Profession

Like his sister, Alex Lagina also grew up in his hometown of Traverse City, Michigan, and moved on to study at the University of Michigan. Like his father, he also has a background in Mechanical Engineering as he graduated from university in 2008. Before that, he likely attended the Traverse City Central High School like his sister Maddie and family friend Craig's son Drake.

Since 2009, he's returned to Traverse to be a part of the family business. He was appointed the General Manager of Mari Vineyards, owned by his father, as Marty pursued on to fulfill his brother Rick's dream of treasure-hunting in Oak Island. The 64-year-old had bought the majority stake in Oak Island Tours, Inc., in 2006 for the sake of his brother.

Mari Vineyards is located at 8175 Center Rd. in Traverse City and spreads across 30,000 square feet, which not only includes the finest local wine-producing facilities but features many of Michigan products like the stone from the Upper Peninsula, wood and repurposed local materials. There's even a mural made out of 15,000 corks on display at the winery, showcased the tasting room.

The Lagina son is busy managing the winery, but who could escape the chance to get some of that glam fame. He's not strayed from his position in Mari, but he has appeared on The Curse of Oak Island, as well as it's spin-offs Drilling Down and The Curse of Civil War Gold as a series regular cast member. Of course, the paychecks adds to his net worth, but not really the point of it. Alex is actually all about finding things that already have a significance rather than having some sort of mystery behind them. And there's a lot, check them out.
