Jack Hannah Wiki Biography

  • Jack Bushnell Hanna, of Lebanese and American ancestry, was born on January 2, 1947, in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. 
  • He is a zookeeper who is now best known as the Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. 
  • He is also well-known as a television personality, having hosted his own program, “Hanna’s Ark.” 
  • He is also known by the nickname “Jungle Jack.” 
  • Since 1973, he has worked in the field of zoology. 
  • So, have you ever wondered what Jack Hanna’s net worth is? 
  • According to authoritative sources, Jack’s net worth as of mid-2016 was over $8.5 million, which he earned through his zoological career. 
  • In addition, he has starred in a variety of TV shows and series, both of which have contributed significantly to his overall wealth. 
  • Jack Hanna grew up on the family farm and has always had a passion for animals, volunteering for the family doctor, Dr. Roberts, when he was 11 years old. 
  • He later relocated to Saltsburg, Pennsylvania, where he attended The Kiski School before enrolling at Muskingum College in New Concord, Ohio, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business and Political Science in 1968. 
  • He had issues in college because he had ducks in his room and a donkey behind his fraternity house (The M.A.C.E. Club). 
  • Following that, he returned to his hometown, where he first opened a pet store, and thus his career started in the 1970s. 
  • On his father’s farm, he founded a petting zoo, which he had to close after a lion attacked a boy and ripped his arm off. 
  • He and his wife then relocated to Florida, where he served as the director of the Central Florida Zoo for three years before being employed by the Columbus Zoo. 
  • Gradually, his career progressed, and his interest at the Zoo grew, to the point that he ultimately became the zoo’s owner, greatly increasing his net worth. 
  • Jack soon became the zoo’s boss, and in order to raise attendance, he created a TV show called “Hanna’s Ark,” which aired on WNBS, a CBS affiliate. 
  • The Columbus Zoo gradually gained national attention, and Hanna, inspired by the success of his first broadcast, launched many more, including “ZooLife With Jack Hanna” (1992), “Animal Adventures” (1995-2011), “Jack Hanna’s Into The Wild” (2007-2015), and “Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown” (2011-2016), all of which helped to boost the Zoo’s visibility and, as a result, Hanna’s overall net worth. 
  • With the Columbus Zoo’s continued growth, Hanna’s net worth will certainly increase in the coming years. 
  • In his personal life, Jack Hanna has been married to Suzi Egli since 1968, and they have three daughters and six grandchildren together.
