As a result of his unique lifestyle, Kody has become popular on social media as an animal trainer. As of 2022, Kody has more than 4.7 million Instagram followers and 28.6 million TikTok followers. Kody became popular online by posting photos and videos of wild animals from T.I.G.E.R.S. on Instagram and TikTok. He often refers to the animals as his family, as he was raised in the wildlife park and interacted with them growing up. Kody works as a trainer now.
“I was really lucky I was born into this,” Kody says in an interview with AOL. “My father started the whole thing about 35 years ago with the animals, so I was just one of them born into the litter. I had tigers as my big sisters and brothers, and I had the elephant as my big sister growing up. And it’s just been a whole life filled with animals.”

Before Netflix’s “Tiger King” even aired, Kody had millions of followers on social media and had become known for his incredible videos with wild animals. However, Kody has come under fire for his behavior with animals as T.I.G.E.R.S. has long been a target of wildlife activists for the type of park it is.
Activists say Kody and his family are responsible for the suffering of many tigers in the U.S. with their wildlife park, which is meant to tame the wild animals and keep them enclosed for human experiences.
Kody Antle’s net worth is estimated to be close to $1.5 million. His primary earnings come from his social media presence and his participation in Myrtle Beach Safari and The Institute for Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (or T.I.G.E.R.S.), while also being a trainer in South Carolina.
On his TikTok account, Kody could potentially earn upwards of an estimated $27k per post, excluding brand collaborations, and on Instagram, he could charge upwards of $15k for a brand-sponsored post. His earnings as a trainer from the wildlife reserves are currently unknown.
