Adam Klein (born January 15, 1991) is a homeless shelter manager best known for competing on the American reality show Survivor. He was voted the winner of the show's 33rd season, Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X in 2016. At the time of the show, Klein lived in San Francisco, California.
Klein grew up in Burlingame, California, along with his parents Alan and Susie and his brother Evan. He attended Burlingame High School. After high school, Klein would attend Stanford University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in International Relations, with a minor in Spanish. While in college, he worked as an RA, an admissions associate, and a tour guide.
In 2014, Klein and his mother applied to be on the American reality competition show Survivor. They had hoped to go on the show together during the series' 29th season, Survivor: San Juan del Sur, which paired each player with a loved one. But shortly thereafter, she was diagnosed with cancer, which ended her dream of going on Survivor with her son. But he was given a standing invitation to join a future season solo.
Klein accepted his invitation for Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X, the show's 33rd season. As part of the original Vanua tribe, composed entirely of millennials, the 25-year-old survived the first four eliminations to make the Tribal Split on Day 13, which distributed the remaining castaways across three new tribes. On Day 9, he discovered a hidden immunity idol at the Millennials camp. He was moved to Takali, formerly the tribe consisting entirely of Generation X members. There, he provided the swing vote on Night 18 that broke up the alliance/romance of Taylor Stocker and Jessica "Figgy" Figueroa, by sending Figueroa out of the game.
