Bindi Irwin is the 17-year-old daughter of the late Steve Irwin, as well as an actress and an animal activist and she has a net worth of approximately $3 million. Born in 1998, the young woman is the oldest child and only daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter. Her father was killed when she was only 8-years-old after being stung by a sting ray. His death shocked the entire world. The man was beloved by all, an no one thought that the man who spent so much time up close and personal with crocs and alligators and the world’s most dangerous animals would pass away because of a sting ray and its barb, but that’s exactly what happened. When the crocodile hunter was killed, his daughter was the one who gave his touching eulogy.
Now she’s all grown up and living her own life. Her net worth is a result of a long and very profitable career. She’s been appearing on television since she was only 2-years-old when she made guest appearances on her father’s television show. She’s had animal specials, she’s starred in movies such as “Return to Nim’s Island,” and she’s even been in daytime television. In 2008, she made history as being the youngest person to ever win a daytime Emmy for her role in a daytime television show in Canada.
As a child, she always preferred animals to anything else. Very much like her father, Bindi Irwin is not afraid to get up close and personal with animals, though her mother and those in her life today make sure that the animals with which she spends her time are less dangerous than the ones her father dealt with throughout the course of her life. She’s not a famous actress by any means, but her animal shows, her fitness DVD and her roles in television have made her famous enough to amass an impressive net worth for a girl her own age.
And if you didn’t think you’d see much of her in the United States, think again. She just announced that she is one of the contestants in the upcoming 21st season of the hit reality series Dancing with the Stars. Bindi Irwin is not a dancer, but there is a good chance she might make it far enough throughout the show to really get to know her since fans have a very amazing love for this little girl who lost her father at such a young age.
In her personal life, she is very private. She has a younger brother who was only a few years old when their father was killed. She and her mother are very close, and she’s currently dating. She’s not someone who cares much to discuss her personal life with the world, so she will only leave it at that there is someone special in her life at the moment. There is some speculation that the young man she is dating might be an athlete, but the world remains fairly in the dark.
