Rick Salomon’s Tumultuous Marriage with Pamela Anderson
Rick Salomon’s most famous bride was Pamela Anderson. The two were wed in Las Vegas in 2007, allegedly during a break in a show that Anderson was performing in at the time. However, the marriage would prove to be short-lived as the couple filed for a divorce ten weeks later.
Anderson’s fans were left guessing when she posted a message on her website that suggested she was reconciling with Salomon. However, the marriage was annulled by 2008. Six years later, Rick Salomon and Pamela Anderson would get married once again. Approximately six months later, Anderson filed for divorce a second time.
Their divorce filings were quite messy. Salomon claimed in his filings that Pamela begged him to impregnate her, then aborted two babies after she became pregnant. He also claimed Pam did the same thing multiple times to Kid Rock. In a counter filing, Pam claimed that Rick faked being a Nevada resident for tax purposes and spent most of his time living in California.
She further put Rick’s finances on blast, claiming that he won $40 million playing poker against ONE GUY, a Dallas real estate tycoon named Andy Beal. He apparently won $16 million from Andy in a single weekend.
Pam eventually received a $1 million payout from Salomon and the divorce was finalized.
