Choosing Between Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson have had just about everyone playing a guessing game for the past few weeks about whether or not they are a couple or just making it look that way as they promote their new film, The Naked Gun.

Whether or not things between them are real or for show, they’re definitely garnering plenty of headlines and leaving fans wanting to know more about them, including who has the higher net worth. Here’s the answer to that and a bit more about their “relationship.”

Who’s net worth is higher?

Anderson was born in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Canada. She was discovered in 1989 when she appeared on the Jumbotron at a BC Lions football game and was cheered by other fans in the stands. At the time, she was wearing a Labatt’s Beer T-shirt and was later hired by the company to be their spokeswoman. Anderson then moved to the U.S. and made a name for herself.

She was the cover girl on Playboy’s October 1989 issue and named Playmate of the Month in the magazine’s February 1990 issue. She went on to appear on more Playboy covers than any other model. Anderson played Lisa, the original “Tool Time Girl,” on the sitcom Home Improvement before stepping into the role of C. J. Parker on Baywatch from 1992 to 1997. Post-Baywatch, she made a slew of television appearances over the years and had the lead role in the film Barb Wire. Anderson has also authored several books and is an animal rights activist, having done campaigns for PETA. Her current net worth is $20 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Neeson was born on June 7, 1952, in Ballymena, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. He’s been in the entertainment business for more than four decades, debuting in his first film in 1978. In 1993, he was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Schindler’s List.

Neeson has been in more than 100 movies over the course of his career and in just about every genre, including the historical drama Gangs of New York, the romantic comedy Love Actually, and the Taken action trilogy. He earned a cool $40 million for starring in that franchise, and today he has an estimated net worth of $120 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

Are Neeson and Anderson dating?

As to whether Anderson and Neeson are really dating at the moment is anyone’s guess. While some outlets have reported that sources insist they are indeed a couple, others are skeptical about that, opining that the chemistry we’re seeing between them is just to promote their movie.

In an interview with People, Neeson said: “I’m madly in love with [Anderson]. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She’s funny and so easy to work with.” However, he has declared that he’s “done with dating” following the death of his first wife, Natasha Richardson.

Neeson married Richardson in 1994. They welcomed their first son, Micheál, in 1995. Their second son, Daniel, was born the following year. In 2009, Richardson died after hitting her head while taking skiing lessons at a resort in Mont Tremblant, Canada.

Meanwhile, Anderson has been married five times, including twice to the same man.

She famously wed Motley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee in 1995. They divorced in 1998 and have two sons, Brandon and Dylan. The Baywatch actress and Kid Rock tied the knot in 2006, but things were over in a matter of months. Anderson then married Rick Salomon in 2007. They separated in 2008, but decided to give marriage another shot in 2014. The second time didn’t work out either and they broke up for good in 2015. Anderson and builder-turned-bodyguard Dan Hayhurst said “I do” in 2020, but divorced after two years.
