Paulina Porizkova might not be worth as much as her deceased husband Ric Ocasek, but she's still a wealthy woman. According to Celebrity Net Worth, she is worth a whopping $10 million, as of 2020. As reported by the outlet, the supermodel signed a contract with makeup brand Estée Lauder that secured her $6 million annually until 1995.
While it's safe to say that Porizkova isn't penniless, there have been times where she has struggled financially. After the death of Ocasek, it was revealed that he had cut her out of his will. In a 2021 conversation with UBS' Paula Polito, Porizkova explained that she still had access to his money when they split in 2018. However, when Ocasek died, she learned that she was left with no money after he claimed that Porizkova had "abandoned" him, per Daily Mail.
"I got two mortgaged houses and the pension, but no way to pay for anything," she said. "So obviously things had to be sold, but until they got sold, I had nothing to live on. I literally went through a year of asking my friends to buy us groceries. It was not a good position to be in."
In September 2020, Porizkova sold the Gramercy Park townhouse the couple shared for over 30 years for $10 million. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the property was purchased by the duo for $2.5 million in 1989. In January 2019, it was originally listed for $15.3 million.
