Erik Cowie’s net worth is believed to be between $3 million and $5 million. Erik purportedly worked as a culinary artist at Michael’s Grill, which is located at 2824 W Country Club Dr. in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. He is the chief zookeeper for Jeff Lowe and his wife Lauren Lowe as of 2020.

Erik had worked at Greater Wynnewood Animal Park for at least five years. During his time at the zoo, Cowie had cared for tigers called Samson, Delilah, Lauren, Cuddles, and Trinity.

Erik was one of the witnesses summoned to testify at Exotic’s trial. Cowie described how Joe slaughtered the elder animals to build a cage for the younger creatures. “It’s apparent that the loss of tigers took a toll on Cowie,” Eric added.

Erik stated in a new special episode of the Netflix series in April 2020 that Joe Exotic should not be recalled from exile. The documentary series centered on ex-zookeeper Exotic, who was sentenced to 22 years in jail in 2019 on two counts of murder for hire directed at Big Cat Rescue’s Carol Baskin. He was charged with eight Lacey Act breaches and nine Endangered Species Act offenses.
