Robert Irwin's recent win on Dancing with the Stars has boosted his net worth, with estimates now exceeding $8 million AUD. The 21-year-old conservationist and TV personality took home the Mirrorball trophy on Wednesday, following in the footsteps of his sister Bindi, who won the same competition in 2015.
While Irwin's exact earnings from the show are undisclosed, reports indicate that US contestants receive a base salary of $188,000 AUD ($125,000 USD) for the rehearsal period and first two weeks. Those who advance further earn weekly bonuses, with Irwin potentially earning between $447,000 and $606,000 AUD for reaching the finale. In comparison, Australian celebrities on the local version earned between $27,000 and $100,000 AUD.
Celebrity Net Worth estimated Irwin's net worth at $7.65 million AUD ($5 million USD) in August 2024, but his recent TV appearance fee likely pushes that figure above $8 million AUD. Irwin continues to work as a manager at Australia Zoo and appears as a presenter on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Crikey! It's the Irwins.
Irwin's father Steve, known as The Crocodile Hunter, had a net worth of $15.3 million AUD ($10 million USD), much of it tied up in Australia Zoo and conservation projects. His mother Terri, now owner and chairwoman of the zoo, has an estimated net worth of $30.6 million AUD ($20 million USD), including her stake in The Crocodile Hunter Lodge.
