Let’s be real: Dawg has not been perfect with his money. He filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy back in the 1990s. That’s like saying, “Oops, I spent all my bounty money on cowboy boots and bail bonds.”
He also had a massive tax lien for over $1.5 million in 2016. The IRS doesn’t care if you’re a TV star—they want their cut, dog.
And after his beloved wife Beth passed away, he admitted to spending way too much on grief-related expenses. Money can’t fix a broken heart, but apparently, it can buy a lot of muscle cars.
The “Dawg” Empire Today
These days, Duane is still hustling. He does live appearances, sells merchandise, and even has a podcast where he gives life advice. You know, typical bounty hunter wisdom.
He also runs a bond enforcement agency in Colorado. So even if the TV money dries up, he’s still got a crew of guys in tactical vests ready to kick down doors.
And let’s not forget his reality show reboot on WETV, “Dog Unleashed.” It’s like the original, but with more gray hair and fewer chases (but just as much yelling).
