What is Pamela Anderson’s Net Worth?
Name: Pamela Anderson
Age: 49
Net Worth: approx. $8 million
Income Sources: modelling, TV work and films
A Canadian actress born 1 July 1967, Pamela is perhaps most famous for her role in Baywatch alongside David Hasselhoff. At its peak, it is rumoured that Anderson was taking home $300,000 per episode. Compared to other actresses appearing regularly on cult shows, this figure is surprisingly low. She went on to appear in many TV series and films including the 1996 film Barb Wire.
Income from Modelling and Acting
But before her acting career, Pamela was a model enjoying various commissions from local and national companies. For a short time, she worked as a personal trainer until she was spotted and enticed into the world of Playboy. She enjoyed a Playboy career that spanned 22 years, during which time she elected to increase her breast size to a D cup, followed by a larger size some years later. These assets, along with her chiselled jawline and platinum blonde hair made her instantly recognizable.
Leaving Playboy behind, she has appeared on several reality TV appearances to boost her coffers, including a stint on the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss, as well as an appearance on the Bulgarian version and a guest slot on the German version alongside David Hasselhoff. As well as pantomime roles, she has appeared on Dancing with the Stars in the U.S as well as other appearances on various reality US TV shows.
She is known to have a sense of humour and is possibly why she is in such demand for roles in films and TV. She has made several appearances in comedy sketches, and in some recent films, has poked fun at her tabloid image. She also makes several appearances to promotes brands and products, and is known to is known to love the slot machine or blackjack table, thus she could likely be found behind the reels of the Mermaid Millions slots.
She is back in the spotlight in the 2017 film ‘The Institute’ and with many other projects in the pipeline, Pamela could yet see her net worth increase significantly.
Other Activities
Away from the cameras, she is an active campaigner against animal cruelty. She is heavily involved with PETA, often fronting their controversial campaigns as well as meeting many politicians and world leaders to persuade them to outlaw cruel hunting methods.
She is active in other ways too and is involved with various AIDS and HIV charitable foundations.
Investing Wisely
It is easy to belittle Pamela and her career, her sassy blonde hair but she herself is acutely aware of the celebrity world she lives in. “I don’t think I am an actress,” she is once quoted as saying, I think I’ve created a brand and a business”, a mantra not lost on other celebrities. Isn’t that something we should all be doing?
