Phil Robertson, known for his participation in the reality show Duck Dynasty, increased his income and, consequently, his net worth over the years. Even when his time on television came to an end, Phil remained active in politics. But in May 2025, Phil passed away at the age of 79 after battling Alzheimer’s disease.
None of the Robertson family members confirmed the exact cause of Phil’s death in their public statements. In May 2025, his son Willie Robertson and daughter-in-law Korie Robertson wrote a joint post on Instagram about Phil’s death. The couple wrote: «Today we celebrate that our father, husband, and grandfather, Phil Robertson, is now with the Lord. He often reminded us of the words of Paul: 'do not grieve as those who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him'».
In their statement, Willie and Korie added: «Thank you for the love and prayers of many whose lives were changed by his life, saved by grace, his bold faith, and his desire to tell everyone who wants to listen, the joyful news about Jesus. We are grateful for his life on earth and will continue the legacy of love for God and love for others until we see him again. We know that many of you love him and have been touched by his life. While we have a private service, we will soon share details about a public celebration of his life».
Another son of Phil, Jase Robertson, also issued a statement through X, which read: «My father went to the Lord today! He will be missed, but we know he is in good hands, and our family is okay because God is very good! We will see him again! #PhilRobertson #Jesus».
In December 2024, Jase revealed on the family podcast «Unashamed» that Phil had «some blood disease causing a lot of problems», in addition to Alzheimer’s disease.
Thanks to his years on the reality show, Phil accumulated a net worth of $ 10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Phil shared four sons — Willie, Jase, Alan, and Jules Jeptha — with his wife, Kay Robertson. In May 2020, it was revealed that Phil was also the father of a child from a romance in the 1970s. His daughter’s name is Phyllis Robertson Thomas
