Duane Chapman, a.k.a Dog The Bounty Hunter, became a top reality TV star in the early 2000s thanks to his A&E series and its spinoffs. Though a bail bondsman can make a lot of money, they’re never guaranteed to earn it unless they can capture a fugitive, which is no easy task. But as reality TV fans know, stars can make decent salaries while starring on television, leading to a net worth increase and financial flexibility. So, what exactly is Dog’s net worth today?

It’s unclear what Dog’s current income looks like these days, but back in the early 2000s, he had enough money to purchase a $750,000 home in Castle Rock, Colorado, in 2009, according to Celebrity Net Worth. In 2022, he listed his house for sale for $1.69 million, per the outlet.

However, even with real estate and assets, Duane may have experienced a financial issue in 2021. At the time, Dog had announced he joined the manhunt for Brian Laundrie, the deceased boyfriend of Gabby Petito, who admitted to killing her before taking his own life. That year, multiple outlets reported that Duane was facing a $1.3 million lawsuit for alleged breach of contract over his conduct while filming Dog Unleashed — a spinoff series that was ultimately canceled. He reportedly was in illegal possession of a taser, and he allegedly made homophobic and racist comments, though Dog denied the claims.
Nevertheless, Dog’s daughters Bonnie and Cecily said the allegations against their father were true.
Dog currently has a net worth of $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
