Willie runs Duck Commander alongside his dad Phil, brother Jase, mother Miss Kay, uncle Si and wife Korie. Just a few years ago, Duck Commander was a small time mom-and-pop operation run from the family living room. Willie's father invented their signature Duck Commander Duck Call in 1972. That first year, Phil's call earned $8000 in revenue. Within a few years that number had grown to over $500,000 as the duck call became more popular among hardcore hunters. When Willie became CEO of the company, he used his business degree and sales experience to take the company out of the living room and into the big time. Today Duck Commander is a thriving business empire that sells 600,000 duck calls a year in addition to their popular DVDs, books and other merchandise. The Robertson family are self-described "redneck millionaires" who enjoy finer things like new trucks and houses, but still wont hesitate jump in the mud on a hunting trip.
Thanks for the information and correction Paca. I didn't do the research, I was just posting what I believed was likely to have happened.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

I'll watch watch anything before that dumbarse show. One good one that comes to mind is Sons of Guns. Hoorah. Course, the drama has gotten to be a little much like most reality shows. :memorial:
