American hunting enthusiast, businessman and reality television personality, Phil Robertson has an estimated net of $15 million. Phil Robertson attended Louisiana Tech where he was the starting quarterback,he actually started ahead of future NFL hall of famer Terry Bradshaw but gave up football with one year of eligibility remaining because the game and any future in it interfered with his heart’s dearest passion: duck-hunting season. Phil is the patriarch of the Robertson family which owns and operates a multi-million dollar hunting accessory company he started out of his home, which became the Duck Commander regime and led some 40 years later to the creation of Duck Dynasty, which premiered Wednesday on A&E.

In 1973 Phil invented the Duck Commander Duck Call which eventually became the gold standard duck whistle among professional hunters. He owns and operates the business alongside his four sons, and wife Kay who have all helped turn Duck Commander into the multi million dollar business it is today.
