April 2024 · 2 minute read

What is Jack Hanna's net worth today? The beloved zookeeper is worth $5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. It's an impressive figure to have clawed up, but perhaps even more impressive is the star's impact on his zoo and on the masses. According to that outlet, during Hanna's 42-year tenure at the Columbus Zoo, they, "made the transition from cage-like enclosures to habitat environments, and the annual attendance... increased by over 400%." According to Columbus Dispatch, during his later years at the zoo, Hanna wasn't overseeing day-to-day operations but "always draws a crowd" when visiting.

Hanna has plenty of options for where to enjoy his retirement. The Emmy-winner and his wife, Suzi Hanna, own a secluded cabin near Glacier National Park in Montana. The cabin arguably reflects Hanna's humility. According to Cabin Life, it's "truly petite" at just 700 square feet. "When we were building it, we really didn't know what we were doing," he told the outlet. "But I figured, hey, it's a cabin – four walls, one room downstairs, a loft upstairs, put a kitchen in, and that's it."

According to Hanna's website, he still calls "Central Ohio home" and also has a home in Rwanda, "that we [he and his wife] visit every year." According to the Columbus Zoo press release for his retirement, Hanna will now "spend more time" with his grandchildren.
