David Hasselhoff Net Worth
David Hasselhoff’s net worth is a hot topic because, in May of 2016, news broke internationally, blasting his personal life, that he was broke, with only $4,000 to his name. Hoff was filing spousal support to his ex-wife, actress Pamela Bach. She was receiving an annual check of $252,000 from the Hoff. And that’s definitely while he was broke. It’s not like he didn’t try to diversify. He owns real estate.
Before the coronavirus, Hoff and his daughter Taylor-Ann worked together to sell his Los Angeles home on Listing Impossible. He is married to Hayley Roberts as of 2018.
As of the latest estimate, The Hoff is worth a tidy $10M… if you believe it.
