Robert Irwin: How Much Is Steve Irwin's Son Actually Worth?
While we'll always remember the late Australian zookeeper and television personality Steve Irwin, the family's next generation continues to make the wildlife community proud. While Irwin's daughter Bindi, 22, is a conservationist with a television career of her own (via Australia Zoo), 17-year-old son Robert's resume is just as impressive. As per Discovery, Robert co-hosted the show "Wild But True" on Discovery Kids in 2015, and has since become a household name as a television personality. Combined with a serious career in wildlife photography, it seems Robert's talent has no bounds — and he has a stunning net worth to go with it.
According to IMDb, Robert has appeared on television since childhood, and shows no signs of stopping. After "Wild But True," Irwin's son appeared on Animal Planet's "Wild Times" in 2018, a show all about his family's antics and their love of animals. Only continuing Steve Irwin's legacy, Robert, Bindi, and mother Terri currently appear on Animal Planet's "Crikey! It's the Irwins," a docuseries that follows their earth-shaking, seriously-untamed adventures. Apart from shows based on his family's life, Robert has branched out into late night TV. The teenager regularly appears on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," where he brings animals like adorable baby black bears, apart from "The Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Entertainment Tonight." Sharing his animal expertise with the world, his TV appearances undoubtedly contribute to his hefty net worth.
