What Is 'Swamp People' Star Daniel Edgar's Net Worth? Probably Higher Than You'd Think

History's series Swamp People is like a peek into an alien world. With mangroves sporting roots that reach above the water, airboats, alligators, snakes, and murky brown water galore, the series allows the average person to enjoy a glimpse of a world that only the hardiest and toughest people inhabit.

People like Daniel Edgar, patriarch of the Edgar family on Swamp People. Daniel is a champion swamp survivalist who doesn't spare words, but what is his net worth? Here's what we know about Daniel's net worth and the way he works with his family on Swamp People.

In 2011, Daniel co-founded Louisiana Bait Products with his son, once again capitalizing on his family's skills and generational knowledge. With a combination of family business and reality TV, Daniel's estimated net worth is around $4 million.

Daniel was born in Louisiana in 1949 to a family of fishermen and trappers. According to TheCelebsInfo, his family boasts at least three generations of outdoorsmen before him.

Daniel decided to keep the family tradition going, working as a commercial fisherman from a young age, and passing that tradition on to his children; Joey, Dwaine, and later daughter Danielle.

The crux of Daniel's life has always been the swamp and his pursuit of outdoorsman careers. He and his father, Rufus Edgar, grew their fishing company and founded later St. Mary’s Seafood Incorporated in 1986.

And speaking of his son Joey, the two work together on Swamp People.

Joey works hard to prove his mettle, ensuring his father believes in him to carry on the family name when it comes to their generational outdoors pursuits.

In 2025, it was announced that Joey's daughter Kallie would be joining the series, making it a three generation career for the Edgar family. Which, if you ask the fans, is exactly what people were hoping on. When it was announced that she would be joining the series, one of the series' executive producers had something to say about their newest Edgar addition.

Brian Cataline sat down with TV Insider and shared his thoughts.

"We’re getting to witness him bring her into the family business through alligator hunting, which is a very important step in the evolution of that family. [Kallie] is a remarkable young lady. I’ve known her for a long time. She really embodies a lot of what folks value about the show. She has an amazing work ethic. She is tough. She is smart. She is very polite and a very well-developed young lady." He added, "You see her out there on the boat. I think she will blow a lot of people away."

Not only are the Edgars extraordinarily skilled at what they do in the Louisiana wilds, but they're also endearing and charming in their own way.

While Daniel is clearly proud of Joey, he doesn't coddle him. In the series, they occasionally butt heads as Joey vies for independence and Daniel asserts the knowledge he has learned over the decades.

Whether you're tuning in to watch Joey, Daniel, Kallie, or one of the other Swamp People legends, the show's cast has something for everyone. Skill, generational knowledge, courage, and of course the occasional humor.

Or not-so-occasional, depending on which swamp person you're talking about.
