Cha-Ching!Find Out How Much Bindi Irwin Earned for Winning ‘Dancing with the Stars’
Bindi Irwin got quite the big paycheck for taking home the Mirror Ball Trophy on Dancing with the Stars!
According to a new report, the 17-year-old champion earned more than $350,000 for winning the reality competition with her pro partner Derek Hough, 30.
Court documents containing Bindi’s contract for the show — obtained by TMZ — were finally approved earlier this week after the TV star’s payment was previously halted because she is a minor.

Under LA law, both of a minor’s parents must sign a contract stating their child has full ownership of their monetary earnings. But since Bindi’s father, Steve Irwin, passed away in 2006, a judge reportedly required Steve’s official death certificate be presented to the court as proof of his death.

So what does Bindi plan to do with her DWTS paycheck? According to the young star, she’s giving it to charity! “[My family and I] donate everything back to wildlife conservation. So everything that I make goes straight back to [that cause], which is really wonderful,” Bindi said during a previous interview.
