Each week Duck Dynasty continued to pull in more and more viewers. Finally, it topped all previous cable reality TV shows by bringing in 6.3 million viewers.
As the CEO and main figure of the show, it can be deduced that a majority of Willie’s fame was generated from his role on the show. Although the show was cancelled, Willie and his family members remain their fame status by appearing in other TV shows such as “Billy the Exterminator”, “Last Man Standing”, and “Whose Line Is Is Anyway?”.
Furthermore, Willie and his wife appeared in a cameo for the movie “God’s not Dead” in 2014 which gained them exposure.

This award gained Willie a tremendous amount of exposure as well.

The show premiered in 2012 and ran until 2017 with a total of 130 episodes over 11 seasons. The success of “Duck Commander” led Willie to start “Buck Commander” an additional business that focuses on deer hunting rather than duck hunting.
Although Duck Dynasty has been cancelled, Willie continues to build is wealth by appearing in television shows and making cameos for films.
Although Duck Commander was created by Willie’s father Phil, when he took over the company, he was able to effectively gain profit. Willie acquired a business degree from NE Louisiana University which gave him the knowledge to efficiently take over Duck Commander. Easily, he used his knowledge to transform the company from a family business to a multimillion-dollar empire. Each year, Duck Commander brings in an estimated $2.27 million dollars in sales each year.
The success of Duck Commander was largely due to the success of Duck Dynasty; however, Willies entrepreneur spirit and knowledge also led to his financial success. His empire has expanded to include 2 companies and he has a net worth estimated to be $25 million dollars.
Before Willie’s success can be discussed, we must first discuss the success of Duck Commander. Phil, Willie’s father decided to leave a promising coaching career for his love of duck hunting. His passion was evidently passed down to his children Jase and Willie. Willie attended and graduated college and used his acquired business knowledge to transform Duck Commander.
He was able to land his family a deal on A&E which popularly became the hit show “Duck Dynasty”. Willie’s ability to think big and invoke his passion into everything he creates is what has led to not only his success, but the Robertson family’s success overall.
