Bindi Irwin has never been so famous. 

After her Dancing With The Stars victory, the 17-year-old Australian is now a hugely sought-after star whose value has likely multiplied 'four or five times'.

Bindi is at least US$230,000 (A$320,000) richer after winning the US reality dance show on Tuesday night, but that it just the beginning of her earnings.

Celebrity industry experts predict The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's daughter will likely rake in far more in endorsements in the coming months.

Sean Pickwell from Waterfront Entertainment Marketing told Daily Mail Australia that Bindi Irwin had brand appeal even before her win - but now she has international potential. 

'She was well known beforehand, but now she's known by general everyday people as opposed to those who were fans of the family,' Mr Pickwell said. 

'Now she's really on the map. The big money is in global deals and I'm sure she'll be well sought after - she's a wholesome, great girl with a lovely personality and super talented. Middle-America would really love her.'

Mr Pickwell said the Dancing With the Stars win could 'certainly put her into the millions', though it would depend on the deal.

'In general terms, her value has probably multiplied four or five times,' he said. 

Celebrity manager Max Markson agreed, and claimed Bindi's brand has become so valuable after her win that a single television advertisement is likely to earn her millions of dollars.

'If she wanted to do a TV commercial she'd make a couple of million dollars at least,' Mr Markson said.

'Any brand in the world would want her - Apple, Google, food, drinks, anyone.'

He speculates a deal with a major company like Apple would be worth 'millions of dollars' or possibly translate to tens of millions of dollars if she chose to 'take a cut of the action'.

Mr Markson says this is just the beginning for Bindi who can 'literally can do whatever she wants.'

'Dancing With The Stars is one of the biggest TV shows in the world… This has shot Bindi into another stratosphere as far as fame and stardom goes,' Mr Markson told Daily Mail Australia.

'It's built a profile for her. They (Americans) already knew her because of her late father. Now she's not just Steve Irwin's daughter.'

'Right now she is so hot as a star in America.'

While Hollywood calls, Bindi will head home to rural Queensland with mum Terri and brother Robert

But while Hollywood is knocking for the outgoing dancing queen, an Australia Zoo representative confirmed that her plans are to come straight back to rural Queensland with her mother Terri and younger brother Robert to resume her studies and conservation work.

'What will it mean for her in Australia? By Saturday she'll be back at Australia Zoo and probably cleaning out poo from cages!' laughed Mr Markson, describing the Irwins' down-to-earth, hands on nature. 

Her end goal is to take over her family business, Australia Zoo, according to Fairfax.

After a much-deserved break she will resume her business degree which she is studying through TAFE Sunshine Coast.

A spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia Bindi will continue to use her profile to advocate for conservation.

However, Hollywood is also on the cards, with an Australia Zoo spokesperson telling Fairfax: 'watch this space... The world is her oyster.'

Mr Markson believes Bindi's appeal to both the youth and young adult market is strong as she is aspirational, clean cut, heartfelt and evades controversy.

Bindi will undoubtedly be inundated with lucrative offers, meaning she will be spoiled for choice as the teenager plans her next move.

'She could have her own TV show, I wouldn't be surprised if ABC want to use her,' said Mr Markson.

'There'll be so many offers for commercial endorsements. She's an internationally known teen, environmentally aware… There are tremendous possibilities.'

Her success will also undoubtedly transfer to a fantastic boost for Australia Zoo, with Mr Markson speculating her appeal would be an even stronger draw card than that of her father Steve Irwin - the Crocodile Hunter.

'She has incredible stardom which is an enormous draw card for Australia Zoo. For years they've had Steve as a focal point but Bindi is a much bigger draw card. She's young, she's current.'

The dust is still settling around the Aussie darling, and a spokeswoman from the Irwin family's Australia Zoo told Daily Mail Australia that it's too early to tell what more the win of season 21 will mean for Bindi. 

For previous winners of the bi-annual show, they have taken away far more than the initial pay check.

Alfonso Ribeiro, known for his role in '90s American sitcom Fresh Prince of Bel Air, enjoyed a spike in his career after winning season 19 last year with professional partner Witney Carson.

Following the win, Ribeiro hosted the national Dancing With the Stars Live tour.

The following year, the 44-year-old was announced as the new host of America's Funniest Home Videos. Within the U.S., the program experienced a dip in its ratings when Ribeiro took over in May – dropping from an average of 6.14 million viewers in season 25 to 5.284 million viewers in season 26. However, America's Funniest Home Videos had been experiencing a decline in ratings prior to Ribeiro coming on as host, TV Series Finale reports.

Robeiro also co-hosts Dance Battle, a fellow reality television program which premiered on America's ABC in September.

He also returned to Dancing With the Stars in season 21 as a guest judge, and later substituted for host Tom Bergeron.

In the short year since his Dancing With the Stars win, Ribeiro also won the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach Pro/Celebrity Race for charity, and had a cameo appearance in a music clip for pop rock band R5's 'All Night'.

He also now hosts the Food Network's Unwrapped 2.0, directed an episode of Young and Hungry, and appears to have a sponsorship deal with American snack food brand Chex Mix.

Following Ribeiro, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Rumer Willis took the Dancing With the Stars crown during season 20 earlier this year.

The 27-year-old broadway and film actress and singer has since endorsed skincare brand Clinique as well as cleaning agent Febreze.

Certainly, the Dancing With the Stars win brings more than just the US$230,000 – or AU$322,000.

Bindi Irwin triumphed with Derek Hough over celebrity runners-up Nick Carter and Alek Skarlatos on Tuesday's two-hour finale.

The teenager was said to be guaranteed a fee of $125k for appearing on the show, but her pay packet got a boost thanks to her winning the compeition.

After getting to weeks three and four she got an additional $10k per week, which rose to an extra $15,000 for week five and to $20,000 for weeks six and seven.

Bindi, who was partnered with Derek Hough on the show, went on to make it to week eight, which added an extra $30k to the pot, and then danced her way through to weeks ten and eleven where she was said to bank a whopping $50,000 a week.

If the reported totals were correct, Bindi's pay was in the region of $230k.
