Bombshell revelation about Steve Irwin’s financial situation as Robert Irwin’s inheritance revealed
Steve Irwin’s legacy faced financial strain despite global fame
He was one of Australia’s most prominent household names and was loved by people across the world, but despite his incredible success, Steve Irwin had little money to leave his family at the time of his death.
The Crocodile Hunter was just 44 years old when he was killed by a stingray’s barb piercing his chest while filming in the Great Barrier Reef.
His sudden and tragic death left his wife Terri — who was 42 at the time — to look after two young kids Bindi, who was eight, and Robert, just two years old, while also continuing to run Australia Zoo on her own.
But she soon found herself in debt, with Steve re-investing all his earnings into conservation and leaving his young family with a life insurance policy worth just $200,000.
Speaking about the surprisingly small sum in 2024, Terri told the Australian Financial Review that it “didn’t even cover half of one week’s payroll” at Australia Zoo.
Terri said she was however grateful that Steve had an “ironclad will” that prevent “some crazy person (from sweeping) in from some distant family connection and trying to take everything”.
It’s understood Steve’s kids, who are now 21 and 27, will inherit Australia Zoo.
Both Robert and Bindi have followed in their dad’s footsteps, becoming wildlife warriors.
Robert has publicly spoken about navigating life since his father’s tragic passing.
“When I see a picture of my dad or footage, I actually love having his presence around,” he said in a podcast last year.
“Living in Australia Zoo, he’s everywhere – the images and pictures, the videos and the sound, he’s still a part of every day for me.”
