Duck Dynasty (2012-2017) was a reality show on A&E that focused on the Robertson family and their business, Duck Commander.
Duck Commander is an American hunting and outdoor recreation company that manufactures and sells equipment for hunting fish, ducks, and turkeys. According to Salary.com, the company’s revenue is about $10-50 million.
Besides Duck Commander, the family was also getting paid by TV network A&E. At this point, you are probably wondering what the Duck Dynasty cast salary was at the time. Another question probably lingering on your mind is, “Who is the richest on Duck Dynasty?”
First, the Robertsons (9 adults and 11 kids) collectively earned $200,000 per episode. Despite earning an almost equal salary, some Robertson members are richer than others.
Here are details regarding the Duck Dynasty cast net worth to understand why that’s the case.
1. Willie Robertson – $45 Million
Willie’s father introduced him to Duck Commander, and he went on to become the CEO of the business.
When Duck Commander first started, it was a small-scale venture. Thanks to Willie’s academic background in business and exposure to his father’s company, he transformed the small-scale venture into a multi-million dollar enterprise.
Besides being a TV star and entrepreneur, he is an author best known for his works The American Fisherman (2016) and American Entrepreneur (2018).
According to Celebrity Net Worth, the former was the 9th best-selling book that year in New York.
Thanks to his high earnings, Willie lives in Louisiana in a 5-bedroom and 6-bathroom home built on 7,849 square feet of land.
The property has a tennis court and a space where one can do their wedding. Unfortunately, not much is known about the cost of the property.
2. Kay Robertson – $15 Million
As the matriarch of the Robertson family, Kay has one of the biggest net worths in the Duck Dynasty cast.
She is best known for her lovable nature and captivating presence. That is evident when she hosts family dinners at the end of every Duck Dynasty episode.
Her love for hosting dinners led to her landing roles in cooking shows. Besides hosting cooking shows, she has written recipe books for her fans.
Before becoming part of reality shows, she had a successful career as an author in 1992.
Soon, Kay branched out from writing and ventured into several businesses, including a beauty line. Due to her success as a woman entrepreneur, she has been invited for speaking engagements domestically and overseas.
Can you believe she is doing all these ventures in her 70s, yet most people that age retire from any work completely?
3. Jase Robertson – $10 Million
We cannot also talk about the Duck Dynasty cast net worths without mentioning Jase, a professional duck hunter and COO of Duck Commander.
As a boy, he would go hunting with his dad and spend several hours in the woods. As a result, he transformed his hobby into a business that sells over 600,000 ducks each year.
Jase Robertson’s earnings from businesses and shows have seen him accumulate a net worth of $10 million.
Jase used his fame from Duck Dynasty to make a family music album called Duck the Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas in 2013.
The album was a hit as it reached #3 on the Billboard 200 chart. At the same time, he was nominated for a Teen Choice Award for Choice TV: Male Reality/Variety Star.
Jase owns a Louisianan house in West Monroe with a swimming pool. As for cars, he owns pickup trucks, a 2014 GMC Sierra, and a 2014 Ford F-150. Since he spends much time driving off-road, it makes sense why he owns these vehicles.
4. Mary Robertson – $10 Million
Although Mary wasn’t a primary cast member of the Duck Dynasty, she still managed to enjoy some financial success through her association with the Robertsons.
It all began when she married John Robertson, Willie’s son. She became a huge Instagram star thanks to her fame from the show. Currently, she has 775,000 Instagram followers.
Due to her large following, she has been approached for brand endorsements. Of course, her Instagram account is full of brand endorsements and her family photos.
Now that she was famous, she opened a clothing line with her husband, Young & Free Apparel. The business has enabled her to participate in philanthropic efforts.
For instance, she funds the Mia Moo Fund and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
5. Phil Robertson – $10 Million
Phil, a patriarch of the Robertsons, has been a duck hunter since the 1970s. At that time, he was unhappy with duck calls on the market and opted to experiment with making his duck calls.
He invented the first Duck Commander in 1972, and the company has since been successful.
Soon, he was making money from his business and the Duck Dynasty. He was so happy about his financial success that he wrote his 2013 memoir, Happy, Happy, Happy. It became a best-seller as it sold almost 1 million copies.
Phil and his wife, Kay, own two mansions on a seven-acre land in Louisiana. These homes have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. As for the living room, there is duck décor to remind you of the kind of business the Robertsons do.
6. Si Robertson – $8 Million
Since appearing on 129 episodes of Duck Dynasty, Si has executive-produced spin-offs, Going Si-Ral (2016) and Duck Commander (2019).
Amazingly, Si was not always a hunter. He was a soldier who fought in many wars, including the Vietnam War, before being employed by Duck Commander in 1993.
At Duck Commander, his role was to fashion reeds inserted into every patented duck call. He also appeared in Jase’s 2013 album which became successful.
Finally, he published his 2013 book, Si-Cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle, which received 500,000 pre-orders.
Si lives in a $238,700 house in West Monroe, LA, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms occupying 2,100 square feet of space.
Additionally, it has a kitchen with a kitchen island and an open floor plan with a foyer. Lastly, it has a traditional Southern wrap-around porch where he spends most of his time napping.
7. Jep Robertson – $8 Million
Jep’s main role in Duck Commander is recording and editing his family’s hunting expeditions for the popular viewing audience worldwide.
Soon, he would appear in Duck Dynasty’s spin-off TV series as a first-unit cameraman, Jep & Jessica: Growing the Dynasty in 2016. The show focused on him and his wife adopting a baby boy.
In 2014, Jep and his wife made enough money to start their clothing line, Calvary. This clothing line was made possible thanks to their collaboration with Australian designers Rick Caballo and Melissa Core. This clothing line not only sells clothes but also jewelry.
Jep and Jessica participate in a fundraiser called the Duck Dash race every year. This annual event strives to raise money for the Shriner’s Hospitals for Children.
Sometimes, the couple donates to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through their business.
Jep’s net worth of $8 million ranks him at position 8 on our list of Duck Dynasty cast net worths.
8. Bella Robertson – $5 Million
Willie’s youngest daughter, Bella, is known for her charming personality in Duck Dynasty.
After appearing in this reality show, some people thought she could become an actress. Amazingly, she appeared in a 2016 drama, I’m Not Ashamed as Anna.
When Duck Dynasty first aired, she was around 12 years old. She mostly played with her cousins and siblings since she was still a kid. When she wasn’t playing with her relatives, she would join her family on hunting expeditions.
Besides being involved with the family business, she has written many covers of popular songs. Despite singing her passion is in acting and modelling.
She has worked on a few projects in the two careers, which makes me think she will soon blow up and increase her net worth.
9. Sadie Robertson – $1 Million
Sadie, Willie’s daughter, is last on our list of Duck Dynasty cast net worths. She is a TV star and an author like her father.
Thanks to Duck Dynasty, she blew up as a fashion icon for teenage girls. For instance, in 2013, she helped to design and launch a clothing line of prom dresses.
Sadie’s annual salary from Duck Dynasty was about $0.5 million. As for writing, she has authored a 2014 New York Times Best Seller book titled Live Original.
She’s had a successful career since Duck Dynasty, appearing in God’s Not Dead 2 (2016) and Sun, Sand & Romance (2017).
Sadie owns some luxury cars, including a Fixer Upper Jeep Wrangler, a Mercedes-Benz S Class, and a Range Rover.
According to The Sun, she also owns a 1.32-acre plot of land in Louisiana that she bought for $20,000 in 2021. She moved to this area since her previous home had been infested with rats.
