Robert Irwin<\/a>\u2019s moves on Dancing With the Stars<\/a> are turning heads, and so is his paycheck.<\/p>\n The 21-year-old is competing in the U.S. version of the show and, like other celebrities this season, has secured a major payday.<\/p>\n According to Variety<\/a>, each cast member collects about $125,000 for rehearsals<\/a> and the first two weeks of performances. Contestants who last longer reportedly earn additional bonuses.<\/p>\n In past seasons, the maximum take-home for a celebrity ranged between $295,000, Variety reported in 2019, and $360,000, according to Good Housekeeping earlier this year.<\/p>\n His tango with professional partner Witney Carson drew high marks this week, with bookmakers tipping the pair as frontrunners.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Everything was reinvested into conservation work,” she said. “I was in debt… and Steve\u2019s life insurance, I think, was the sum total of $200,000, which didn\u2019t even cover half of one week\u2019s payroll.”<\/p>\n Terri explained that she and her husband had drawn up a long-term plan to keep the zoo running. She added that Steve also secured the family\u2019s future with a firm will.<\/p>\n He left what she described as an “ironclad” document that prevented “some crazy person [would] sweep in from some distant family connection and try to take everything.”<\/p>\n Steve Irwin died on September 4, 2006, after being struck in the chest by a stingray barb while filming in the Great Barrier Reef with Philippe Cousteau Jr.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.the-express.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robert Irwin\u2019s moves on Dancing With the Stars are turning heads, and so is his paycheck.
