How much was the net worth of Dale Robertson? It has been reported by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $5 million, converted to the present day. Film and television were the major sources of Robertson’s modest fortune.

To begin with, the boy was raised in Harrah, and was educated at the military academy. In order to be able to pay for the college and his education there, he did odd jobs and temporarily fought as a boxer. Then, he enlisted in the army in September 1942, and served as a tank commander during the war, being twice wounded in campaigns in North Africa and Europe. During his hospital stay in San Louis Obispo, California, he created a portrait for the Amos Carr studio and hung it up for advertising purposes in the shop window. There, Robertson was recommended to try a theatre career and followed this advice. After his discharge from the army in 1945, Will Rogers Jr. advised him to rather avoid formal training as an actor, and instead rely entirely on the charisma and naturalness of his own personality.

In 1948, Robertson made his film debut in the role of a cop in Joseph Losey’s film comedy “The Boy with Green Hair”. In 1949, he was already playing minor parts in Randolph Scott’s Western films including “Fighting Man of the Plains” and “The Cariboo Trail”. In 1951, he co-starred with Jean Negulesco in the drama film “Take Care of My Little Girl” alongside Jeanne Crain, and partnered with Mitzi Gaynor in Lloyd Bacon’s musical film “Golden Girl”, which is considered as his breakthrough as a male lead actor. In the following years, he mainly made a career as a western hero in films such as “The Outcasts of Poker Flat” (1952), “Devil’s Canyon” (1953) and “Dakota Incident” (1956). In the middle of the 1950s, he expanded his repertoire as an intrepid protagonist in adventure and war films, starring in Ted Tetzlaff’s films including “Son of Sinbad” (1955) and in Lewis R. Foster “Top of the World” (1955). From 1956 onwards, Dale Robertson was seen parallel on television, becoming more widely known and popular as Jim Hardie in “Tales of Wells Fargo” from 1957-61, which also significantly increased his net worth.

In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, he made numerous guest star appearances in popular American series such as “Iron Horse”, “The Wild West”, “Fantasy Island” as well as “Love Boat Dallas”, and in the mid’70s starred as Melvin Purvis, a legendary FBI agent, in “Melvin Purvis: G-Man” and “The Kansas City Massacre” – made-for-television movies,. He also appeared in the first series of “Dynasty’, and in 1994 he was seen in the series “Go West”.

Among a variety of awards, in 1985 Dale Robertson received a Golden Boot Award, has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and is in the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Great Western Performers in Oklahoma City, and won the award from the American Cowboy Culture Association in Lubbock, Texas in 1999.

Finally, in the personal life of the actor, he was married four times, firstly to Frederica Jacqueline Wilson (1951-56) – they have a daughter. In 1956 he married Mary Murphy, but they divorced a year later. He was also married to Lula Mae (1959 -77), and had two daughters in this marriage. In 1980, he married Susan Robbins with whom he lived until his death. Dale Robertson died from lung cancer at the age of 89 in San Diego, California on 27th February 2013, having lived his later years on his ranch in Oklahoma.
