Have you ever wondered how rich was Dan Haggerty? It was estimated from authoritative sources that the overall size of Dan’s net worth was as high as $2.5 million, which had been accumulated through his professional career in the entertainment industry, as he appeared in over 60 titles.

Dan Haggerty was born to Donald Paul Haggerty and Ruth Elaine Leonhardt and he grew up in a family which owned a small wild animal farm, so since an early age he raised wild animals – one of them was a black bear that performed tricks. While in high school, he decided on a career in the acting world. Thus, Dan’s professional career began in the 1960s, when he was cast as Biff, the muscle man in the film “Muscle Beach Party” (1964) and his net worth was established. This appearance was followed by a string of small roles in films such as “Girl Happy” (1965), “Sail To Glory” (1967), and “Easy Rider” (1969). Until his big breakthrough in 1974, Dan also appeared in the films such as “The Tender Warrior” (1971), “Bury Me An Angel” (1972), and “When The North Wind Blows” (1973). His net worth was rising.

1974 was a turning point of his career, as he was selected for the lead role of James Capen Adams in the film “The Life And Times Of Grizzly Adams”, and ever since then his career went only upwards, and so did his net worth, until his death. Three years after the film, a TV series with the same name was launched, airing for two seasons throughout 1977 and 1978, largely increasing Dan’s net worth.

Before he left the entertainment industry, Dan appeared in the films “Motocross Kids” (2004), “Big Stan” (2007), “Dead In 5 Heartbeats”, and most recently “40 Nights” (2016), and “Untold Story” (2016), which also benefited his net worth.
