Financial problems
When Pam’s marriage with Jon Peters ended after just 12 days, he said that part of the reasons why their relationship ended was because she had to clear $200,000 of debt. However, she claims that it is entirely false.
Real Estate
In 2000, Anderson paid $1.8 million for a home in Malibu. She upgraded and renovated it, and then she listed it in March 2013 for $7.75 million.
