Fans of the hit show “Duck Dynasty” were hit with the heartbreaking news Sunday that Phil Robertson has died.

He was 79.

Robertson, who had been dealing with several health issues recently, passed away with a net worth that might surprise some. He helped found the “Duck Commander” brand with his duck calls and hosted a hunting show by the same name. He was also a star on the reality show, and had a movie, “The Blind,” made about his life in 2023.

Robertson had an estimated net worth of $10 million when he died.That number is nothing to be ashamed of, but perhaps the real tale of Robertson’s success with money can be seen in the other Robertson family members.

His wife, Kay, has an estimated net worth of $15 million. His oldest son Alan Robertson, a pastor, has an estimated net worth of $3 million. Willie Robertson, his son and perhaps the most famous member of the family, has an estimated net worth of $45 million. Willie’s wife, Korie, has an estimated net worth of $40 million. Their daughter, Sadie Robertson, has an estimated net worth of $1 million. Another of Phil’s sons, Jase Robertson, has an estimated net worth of $8 million, while his wife has an estimated net worth of $8 million. “Uncle” Si Robertson has an estimated net worth of $8 million.

So, Phil Robertson’s work and accomplishments not only made him a wealthy man, but set the stage for his family to accumulate wealth and security.
