Troy Landry Net Worth.
Troy a.k.a the King of the Swamp has been hunting alligators for a living from an early age. And it is this choice of livelihood that saw him approached by a New York media outlet interested in filming his experiences. Troy didn’t like the idea of cameras in his face as he hunted and so he declined.
However, he changed his mind later and allowed the camera crew to shoot a few videos. And after the media guys showed the videos to History, they returned. This time asking to film an entire series! But as you’d guess, Troy was still unwelcoming of the whole concept. His wife, on the other hand, felt it was “heaven sent” and so she accepted the offer.
Shooting began in 2009 and season one of Swamp People was released in August 2010. It was an instant hit. The first episode garnered 4.2 million views and the entire season a total of 30.6 million views. A few years ago the cast was rumored to make $25,000 per episode. One would, however, imagine that that figure has increased since.
