Pamela Bach’s net worth, confirmed

Pamela Bach was one of the familiar faces in Hollywood throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Her acting career might not have skyrocketed, but her name became remarkable due to her high-profile relationship and marriage to actor David Hasselhoff. Hence, her tragic passing at the age of 62 has revived interest in her life, particularly her financial standing.

So, how much was Pamela Bach’s net worth at the time of her death? Read on to find out.

What was Pamela Bach’s net worth?

At the time of her passing on March 5, 2025, Bach had an estimated net worth of $1.5 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. According to the outlet, though the figure pales in comparison to the $10 million fortune of her ex-husband, Hasselhoff, the late actress maintained a level of financial stability through a combination of acting residuals and reality TV appearances, among other things.

One of Bach’s most notable assets was a Los Angeles home she bought in 2009 for $1.3 million. The property has appreciated and is now worth an estimated $2.5 million. However, Bach’s finances were not without challenges. After her divorce from the Baywatch actor, they got into a prolonged legal battle over spousal support. At one point in 2017, Hasselhoff’s payments were lowered to $5,000 from $21,000 per month.

Pamela Bach’s career

While many would recognize Bach for her marriage to Hasselhoff, she actually managed to build an acting career in her own right. Born Pamela Ann Weissenbach in 1963, she pursued her Hollywood dreams in the early ’80s and eventually secured roles in television shows that defined the era.

Bach appeared in fan-favorite TV series like The Young and the Restless, Cheers, and Sirens, but it was her recurring role as cafe owner Kaye Morgan in Baywatch that seemingly put her on the map. She also had a guest starring role in Knight Rider, where she first met Hasselhoff and fell in love.

Though Bach never reached A-list status, one could say that she maintained a presence in the TV showbiz industry for decades, and that was how she slowly built her fortune. However, Bach’s career eventually went south. In 2011, she joined the U.K. version of Celebrity Big Brother to reinvigorate her public profile, but she got eliminated early.

Her failed marriage

Bach was undoubtedly well-known for her tumultuous 16-year marriage to The Hoff. The two wed in 1989 and became one of Hollywood’s most recognizable power couples of the era. They had two daughters, Taylor-Ann and Hayley Amber, according to Parade. And for years, they were a staple on red carpets and tabloid covers alike.

However, their glamorous matrimonial union deteriorated in the mid-2000s and ended in a highly publicized divorce in 2006. This was followed by legal battles, with disputes over spousal support and child custody dragging on for more than a decade. Hasselhoff even argued in court that he was nearly broke due to the $2.5 million he had paid Bach in support over the years, a claim she disputed.

Interestingly, even if they had a rocky post-marriage relationship, the two remained connected through their children and, more recently, their grandchild after Taylor-Ann welcomed her first child in August 2024. When Bach was found dead in her California home, Hasselhoff was the first to issue a statement via TMZ expressing their family’s deep sorrow and request for privacy amid the challenging time.
