Even after gaining such popularity back with Baywatch, her career in Hollywood never really took off. But she never really got out of focus from the media. There was a time when almost every other day, she used to hit the headlines for her high-profile marriage with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee and their controversial leaked s*x-tape, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
In 2020, she again made it to the headlines when she made an appearance in Broadway’s Chicago as Roxie Hart and released her memoir and Netflix documentary. During the same year, her then-husband Jon Peters claimed that he cleared all of Pamela Anderson’s debt, which was around $20,000. They parted ways soon after their marriage, and later, in 2023, Peters stated that he kept aside $10 million for Pam in his will, (via CNW).
Despite being such a star, Pamela Anderson never really got paid well since the mid-1990s. She earned $1,500 per episode in the first season of Baywatch. However, after that, her salary didn’t see a huge jump in the later seasons, but she got $300,000 per episode. That was not enough, as she couldn’t pay her taxes, and by 2009, she appeared on the state of California’s list of Top 500 Delinquent Tax Payers when she had to pay $1.7 million for unpaid taxes. In 2012, she was once again called in for unpaid taxes for the year 2011. According to CNW, the IRS claimed she owed $260,000, and the state of California claimed that Pam owed $112,000.
In 2013, Pamela Anderson tried to sell her Malibu apartment for $8 million, but at that time she didn’t find any buyer. Years later, in 2021, she sold it for under $12 million. She got her biggest Hollywood break with The Naked Gun (2025), and suddenly her life turned around. She is also currently dating her co-star Liam Neeson, as per reports. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pamela has an estimated net worth of $20 million.
