You might not think that there's a lot of money in gator hunting, but some Swamp People cast members have managed to make a pretty penny for themselves in hunting alligators. It also doesn't hurt that they're getting paid per episode to appear in the show either, just doing what they do and walking the people watching at home through their process.
Troy Landry reportedly earns some $30,000 per month while filming Swamp People which doesn't include the money he makes off of gator hunting. He's managed to secure himself a reported $2 million net worth in the process of filming the show.

Willie Edwards, who's been featured in a whopping 262 episodes of the series, has a reported $500,000 net worth according to the same source. Tommy Chauvin reportedly earns $300,000 from the show, and Joe LaFont has amassed a $6 million net worth in his time on TV and gator hunting.
Not bad.
New episodes of Swamp People air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on History.
