#31: Bindi Irwin
The world first got to know Bindi through her father, wildlife expert Steve Irwin, known as “The Crocodile Hunter.” Bindi and her younger brother frequently appeared on their father’s adventure TV show. Her father was tragically killed when she was eight, but she followed in his footsteps. A year later, she starred in Bindi, The Jungle Girl, a children’s nature documentary.
Bindi continues to honor her father’s legacy every day through her conservation and zoology work. In 2020, Bindi married professional wakeboarder Chandler Powell in a ceremony at the Australian Zoo. Several months later, they announced they were expecting their first child, and their daughter was born on March 25, 2021, on the couple’s first wedding anniversary.
