The Kansas supercross racer who funded his own career door to door, told the truth at every elimination dinner, and got eliminated by the one person he trusted.
Kevin Moranz came into The Stag saying he wanted to be honest and genuine because that is how people connect with you. He meant it. It cost him the game.
Here’s everything you need to know about the ‘Million Dollar Secret‘ player..
Who Is Kevin Moranz?
Kevin Moranz is a 26-year-old professional supercross racer from Topeka, Kansas, who has been riding dirt bikes since he was four years old. He comes from a blue-collar family — motorsports is an expensive career to chase without financial backing, and Kevin did not have any.
He went door to door and business to business asking for donations in the early days, building the sponsorship base that eventually became his own race team. He currently runs Champion Tool Storage Kevin Moranz Racing, known as KMR, competing on a KTM — a team he established in 2026. He previously raced with the Honda NILS Team in 2023.
His racing resume includes his first heat win in Wisconsin in 2018, three top-10 finishes in the AMA Supercross 250SX East Championship, and one top-10 finish in the 450 SX AMA Supercross Championship. He has 76,000 Instagram followers and races under number 78. His fan base goes by Moranz Mafia. He is, by his own account and by the evidence of his career, someone who built everything he has through sheer persistence.
Netflix described him simply as the pro athlete from a blue-collar family in Kansas who is often mistaken for Tom Cruise when he wears aviators. That description landed on screen in Episode 4 when Daisy told Kevin he looked like Tom Cruise — and Nick Pellecchia immediately echoed it with six seconds left on his agenda clock.
What He Was Like on the Show
Kevin came in wanting to play it honest. “I wanna come in as honest and genuine as possible because then people will connect with you more.” He was not wrong about the connection part — he built real alliances, particularly with Kat Ellis, and was consistently one of the more trusted voices at the elimination dinner table.
His most notable honest moment came in Episode 4 when he retrieved the trophy room clue. Peter pressed him directly — would he reveal it even if it implicated him? Kevin said he would. He was a man of his word, because the clue did implicate him. The millionaire was born in 1999. Kevin was born in 1999. He shared it anyway.
He was steady throughout the season — observant, calm, and not someone who got caught up in the emotional spirals that consumed others. He stayed off the primary suspect list for most of the game, which in a show built on paranoia is its own achievement.
Why He Was Eliminated
Kevin’s downfall came in Episode 7, when Kat Ellis drew him into a scheme to fabricate a fake clue after she retrieved the real one from the trophy room. She shared the real clue with him — the millionaire owned a clothing store and loves fashion — and they agreed to invent something vaguer that pointed at Daisy and Nick instead.
The plan worked well enough to send Daisy home. Then Kat told Daisy that Kevin had fabricated the clue. She used Kevin as the fall guy to deflect Daisy’s suspicion and protect herself. Kevin found out at the exit — Daisy exposed the whole arrangement on her way out the door.
Kevin’s exit confessional was direct: “I got blindsided completely. I put my trust in Kat. That’s where I went wrong. I cannot believe she told people that we made up the clue. I was absolutely used. But I can walk out of this chateau with my head held high because I played my butt off in this game.”
Kaleb Moon used the Episode 7 kill shot on Kevin, eliminating him alongside Daisy at the same dinner.
Why He’s Worth Knowing
Kevin Moranz built a professional racing career from nothing by going door to door asking for help, then turned that into his own team. He played Million Dollar Secret with the same approach — honest, direct, and trusting — and got burned by the one person he had decided to trust. Whether that says something about his judgment or just about Kat Ellis’s willingness to do what it took is a reasonable question.
He raced professionally before the show and will keep racing after it. The Moranz Mafia is waiting.
“Million Dollar Secret” Season 2 is streaming now on Netflix.
