Terri Raines Irwin is an Australian-based naturalist and author who was born on July 20, 1964 in Eugene, Oregon with a Net Worth of around $66 Million.

As a young adult, her summers were spent exploring the wilderness.

In 1968, Irwin worked in the family business then started a rehabilitation facility called Cougar Country. It was intended to re-educate and release predatory mammals and later handled 300 animals each year. She also owned fifteen cats, several birds and a dog.
