12 days of marriage could bring Pamela Anderson $10 million. In the will of short-term husband Jon Peters, the 55-year-old gets as important a place as in his heart. Anderson apparently found out about the windfall at the same time as the public.
Pamela Anderson’s short-term husband, film producer Jon Peters, left the actress a large sum in his will. The two were married for 12 days in 2020, though she later clarified that they were never legally married but remained friends.
In a new interview with Variety, the 55-year-old said of Peters: “He’s amazing and has had a huge impact on my life. I love him more than anything.” Jon Peters also gushed, telling the magazine: “I will always love Pamela, she is always in my heart. In fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn’t even know it. Nobody knows. I’m saying it now for the first time in front of you. I probably shouldn’t say it. So that’s up to her whether she needs it or not.”
After her surprise wedding in 2020, Peters told The Hollywood Reporter, “Pamela never saw her full potential as an artist. She has yet to really shine. There’s a lot more to her than meets the eye otherwise she wouldn’t I don’t love her that much. There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could choose any one, but for 35 years I’ve only wanted Pamela. She drives me wild – in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her like as she deserves to be treated.”
A few days later, Anderson also confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that they called off the marriage and never submitted any formal papers. “Life is a journey and love is a process,” she said at the time. “With this universal truth in mind, we have collectively decided to postpone the formalization of our marriage license and place our trust in the process. Thank you for respecting our privacy.”
Later that year, Anderson affirmed that she was “never legally married to Peters,” adding in a statement on social media that the now 77-year-old is a “lifelong family friend.” She added, “No offense – no marriage, no divorce… just a bizarre theater dinner.”
Pamela Anderson has two 25-year-old sons, Brandon and Dylan, with her ex-husband Tommy Lee, whom she married in 1995. She also married Kid Rock, Rick Salomon – whom she married twice but one of the marriages was annulled – and Dan Hayhurst. Marriage to him lasted less than a year and ended in 2021. Currently single, Anderson lives in her grandparents’ former farmhouse on Vancouver Island, surrounded by their five dogs, books, garden and the sea.
