Robert Irwin is in hot demand as his television career continues to skyrocket.
And now a new report has revealed the incredible sum that networks will have to pay if they want the Wildlife Warrior fronting their shows.
The 22-year-old’s fee could be as high as $3 million per season, according to New Idea.
‘That’s genuinely the ballpark he’s playing in now,’ an alleged insider told the publication.
The source claims that American television has come calling, with many keen to ink deals with the handsome star after his winning run on Dancing with the Stars US last year.
‘A lot of American shows approaching him are hovering around that figure,’ the insider said.

Robert has recently been working on the Australian edition of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and he is keen to return for future seasons.
That may include overseas editions, the insider says.
‘He just loves the franchise. He knows how special it is. If Network Ten green-lights more seasons and schedules line up, don’t rule him out. He’d happily talk about coming back,’ they said.
It comes after Robert yet again sparked romance rumours following some secret phone calls on the set of I’m A Celebrity.
The celebrity conservationist has raised eyebrows among production staff as insiders claim he’s been requesting more private time to chat on the phone.
Sources tell Daily Mail his co-workers believe he may be calling up a new ladylove, adding that his upcoming Christmas plans may reveal the truth of the matter.
‘It wasn’t just a quick check-in,’ a source close to production claims. ‘People noticed. And when he came back to set, there was a definite vibe shift.’
According to insiders, the calls set tongues wagging among crew and co-stars, with many assuming Robert could be quietly seeing someone away from the cameras.

‘Everyone started talking,’ the source says. ‘There’s a feeling it could be something new brewing.’
There’s also talk the entire Irwin family may choose to remain in South Africa over the break, opting for time together before filming resumes.
Jungle filming was expected to wrap on December 23, before the celebrities return to Australia.
Insiders say Robert and co-host Julia Morris are then due back for pickups and reshoots in early January to wrap the season.
For now, Robert is keeping quiet but fans are watching closely.
‘Whatever he does next will be analysed,’ the source says. ‘That’s just the territory when you’re Australia’s golden boy.’
Daily Mail has reached out to Robert’s representatives for further comment.
