There is not a lot of information available on the early life of Robin Christensen-Roussimof; she was largely sheltered from news outlets.

When Robin was 10 she had the choice of living with her father but declined to do so and this was because she did not have a great relationship with her father.

Sadly, both of Robin’s parents are no longer alive. Robin Christensen-Roussimoff’s parents met while Andre the Giant was still a wrestler, the two became close because of the work she did in the wrestling industry, particularly working in Public Relations.

Robin Christensen-Roussimoff Had No Real Relationship with her Father?

Robin Christensen-Roussimoff’s father died when she was still a child but even before his death, the two were not very close. The two had no real relationship and before he died they had only ever seen each other 5 times which would have been hard for a young Robin Christensen-Roussimof who did not see her father in person but saw him on the news and on tv.

When Robin was born Roussimoff was not certain about the paternity of the child and worried that he was not her birth father. This led to court proceedings and a paternity test, and the results of the test confirmed that she was indeed his daughter.

When she still gave interviews Robin Christensen-Roussimoff would avoid conversations about her father. Regardless of their estrangement, when her father died he left his entire estate to her.

Robin Christensen-Roussimoff’s Net Worth

Andre, the Giant’s daughter is said to be worth about $10 million. When Andre the Giant died, leaving his estate to his daughter, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff was only just a child then. But as she became an adult she quickly took over the running of his estate, regardless of the stilted nature of their relationship.

In 2018, the estate under her control and leadership worked on creating the Andre the Giant documentary which was basically a story about the life her father lived. During this time, she had to work with some of his old friends to get better insight into who he was as a man and the type of career that he had.

As the sole owner of this estate, Robin has earned a lot of money from the royalties of using the “Andre the Giant” name, image, or likeness in films, video games, or action figures. This has given her a huge net worth, which is believed to be about $10 million.

During Robin Christensen-Roussimoff’s father’s career, he was one of the highest-paid wrestlers in the world and according to the Guinness Book of World Records, he was the highest-paid wrestler in the history of the world.

Robin Christensen-Roussimoff’s Height

Robin Christensen-Roussimoff is 6 feet tall. When she was born, there were legal battles surrounding her paternity which came out to be positive for Andre Roussimoff after a paternity test was conducted.

At the height of his career, he was defined as one of the wonders of the world because of how large and big he was. This feature has also trickled down to his daughter, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff who is 6 feet tall and weighs 96 kg- a feat that is not achievable for many women. There was a time when she tried to have a wrestling career, just like her father. The reason for this has been speculated with some people saying she was paying homage to her father, but unlike her father Robin Christensen-Roussimoff was unsuccessful.

This is not the only career she had tried to be an actress and just like the attempt at wrestling this was also not a very successful venture.
