12 richest Baywatch stars – the OG’s net worths, ranked: from iconic cast members Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff and Carmen Electra, to Aquaman Jason Momoa, RHOBH’s Lisa Rinna, and Sofía Vergara
- Pamela Anderson’s character was so iconic, she cameoed in the 2017 Baywatch movie alongside Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron – now she’s worth US$20 million
- Many stars went on to appear in other long-running shows, like Mariska Hargitay in Law & Order: SVU, Jason Momoa in Game of Thrones and Sofía Vergara in Modern Family
On July 17, David Hasselhoff, or “The Hoff” as he’s affectionately known, celebrated another milestone by turning 70. The American actor skyrocketed to worldwide fame when he played LA County lifeguard Mitch Buchannon in the iconic 90s show Baywatch.
The show was axed after a single season by NBC, but the showrunners – and The Hoff – wanted to continue, and decided to produce the second season independently. The rest, as they say, is history.
Baywatch went on to become the world’s most-watched TV show and ran for 11 seasons (beating out Friends by one season). The show earned an estimated weekly audience of 1.1 billion viewers in 142 countries in 1996, according to Guinness World Records’ website.
We thought we’d take an ocean-spray-soaked jog down memory lane and rank the show’s stars by their current fortunes, as listed on Celebrity Net Worth.
12. Yasmine Bleeth – US$2 million
Bleeth’s character Caroline Holden captivated audiences during her four season run between 1993 and 1997. Known as Stephanie Holden’s (played by Alexandra Paul) youngest sister, Bleeth was asked to return as a regular after her initial one-episode deal.
The former model and soap opera actress ranks the lowest here due to her sabbatical from acting. She was last seen in Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (2003) before returning in 2021 with B-movie Whack the Don. A horror movie, Beautiful Evil, is slated to be released this year, according to IMDB.
