What is Jimmy Riffle's Net Worth?
Jimmy Riffle is an alligator wrestler and reality television personality who has a net worth of $500 thousand. Jimmy Riffle grew up in Florida, and began volunteering at Native Village, an alligator zoo in Hollywood, Florida, when he was eleven years old. He fell in love with the place, and continued working there, learning from Mike "Skeet" Johns, the owner of the zoo. He became the manager of Native Village when he was 18.
He is now co-owner of Gator Boys Alligator Rescue, a company that rescues wildlife and wrestles alligators in the Florida Everglades. Gator Boys is the subject of the Animal Planet reality series, "Gator Boys", which follows Jimmy Riffle and his partner, Paul Bedard, as they answer calls from people who have wayward alligators in their backyards, pools, and even homes. The pair are known for trapping the animals humanely, usually with their bare hands, and releasing them into the wild appropriately, rather than killing them.
