What Is Kelly LeBrock’s Net Worth and Salary?

With a net worth of $10 million, Kelly LeBrock is a well-known American actress and model. Her modeling journey began at the age of 16, where she quickly captured the fashion industry’s attention. LeBrock gained fame after starring in a Pantene shampoo commercial, famously stating, “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.”

Her film career launched with “The Woman in Red” (1984), where she starred alongside Gene Wilder. This role cemented her status as a sex symbol and a lead actress in Hollywood. LeBrock’s most memorable performance was in John Hughes’ teen comedy “Weird Science” (1985), in which she portrayed a dream woman created by two high school misfits.

In 1990, she appeared in the action-comedy “Hard to Kill” opposite her then-husband, Steven Seagal. However, as the 1990s progressed, her acting career slowed as LeBrock shifted her focus to her family. In subsequent decades, she made sporadic appearances in films and television, including reality TV shows.

Career

At 16, Kelly started her modeling career in New York City, and by the age of 19, she was featured in a 24-page spread in “Vogue.” Shortly after, she signed a contract with Christian Dior, which mandated her to collaborate with the brand for 30 days annually. LeBrock appeared on numerous magazine covers and became a spokesperson for Pantene shampoo, famously delivering the line, “Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful.” She made her acting debut in “The Woman in Red” (1984), written and directed by her co-star Gene Wilder. In 1985, she was “the perfect woman” in “Weird Science,” and in 1990, she co-starred with Steven Seagal in “Hard to Kill.” Subsequently, in 1993, she was in “Betrayal of the Dove” and lent her voice to Clara in the animated film “David Copperfield.” She starred in the 1995 Western “Hard Bounty,” followed by a role as Lauren Goodhue in the comedy “Wrongfully Accused” alongside Leslie Nielsen in 1998.

Personal Life

In 1984, Kelly tied the knot with film producer/restaurateur Victor Drai, but their marriage ended in divorce by 1986. Subsequently, on September 5, 1987, she married actor Steven Seagal. The couple welcomed their daughter Annaliza on May 20, 1987, and later had son Dominic on June 21, 1990, followed by daughter Arissa on July 24, 1993.

Kelly and Steven’s marriage concluded in 1996, after which she entered into marriage with Fred Steck, a retired investment banker, in July 2007. However, reports indicate that Kelly and Fred divorced in 2008. Following the death of her brother that same year, LeBrock felt compelled to volunteer her time for the terminally ill. She has taken on the role of spokesperson for the charity Club Carson, which supports children facing cancer.

Real Estate

After separating from Seagal, Kelly opted to leave Hollywood behind, settling on a ranch located in California’s Santa Ynez Valley. She reflected on the choice stating, “Hollywood wasn’t a place where I wanted to raise my children. My divorce was very much in the press. And I’m just not a Hollywood girl. Never have been. I never really liked the attention. I wanted to have dirt in my nails and be in the outdoors.”

The ranch, purchased by Seagal and Kelly for $2.85 million in the late 1980s, was expanded with an additional 100 acres acquired for $1.75 million in 1990. To this day, Kelly retains ownership of the property, leasing at least 50 acres to wineries for grape cultivation.
