The final showdown was intense. It came down to Alix Earle & Val Chmerkovskiy vs. Robert Irwin & Witney Carson—and the competition was fierce. While Alix and Val scored a perfect 90 out of 90 from the judges, Robert and Witney weren’t far behind with 89 out of 90. But in the end, the audience votes sealed the deal, and Robert took home the iconic Mirror Ball Trophy, worth USD 10,000.

And yes, this win makes it a proud second DWTS victory for the Irwin family, following his sister Bindi Irwin’s Season 21 win. The legacy of the legendary Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, lives on in style.


Let’s talk numbers, because they’re wild. At just 21 years old, Robert already had a reported net worth of USD 5 million even before joining the show. While he comes from a famous family, his journey hasn’t been easy. After Steve Irwin’s tragic death in 2006, the family received only USD 200,000 in insurance, pushing everyone—including young Robert—to work hard for their future.

Today, one of Robert’s biggest income sources is Australia Zoo, which reportedly generates USD 38 million annually, where he works full-time as a conservationist and wildlife photographer. Add to that his popular Animal Planet show “Crikey! It’s the Irwins”, and you’ve got serious earning power.

9.9 million followers on TikTok
8 million followers on Instagram
Through brand deals and digital promotions, he reportedly earns USD 25,000 to USD 40,000 per month from social media alone. No wonder his net worth hit the USD 5 million mark so early in life..jpg)
Now comes the real glow-up. With his DWTS win, Robert is expected to earn up to USD 345,000 from the show, and reports suggest he received AUD 606,000 just for joining Season 34. And that’s not all—he already has new projects and brand campaigns lined up.
He’s also set to appear in “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” and is reportedly involved in “Zootopia 2”, which could push his earnings even higher. While his new official net worth hasn’t been disclosed yet, insiders believe his USD 5 million fortune is about to rise fast.
