Kendra Wilkinson Net Worth Salary and Earnings

Kendra Wilkinson is an engaging and playful television personality, supermodel, and professional who built her career on extraordinary beauty, luck, and a charismatic social presence. At 30 years old, her career now spans over 12 years, and has amassed a modest net worth of $6 million, as of 2015. Details concerning this wealth are largely inconsistent; though include a variety of revenue sources, including annual salaries, assets, and miscellaneous income.

Kendra Wilkinson was born June 12, 1985 in San Diego, California; however, she relocated to Clairemont, another San Diego neighborhood, after her parents’ divorce in 1994. In her youth, Wilkinson’s interests differed dramatically from her current girly-girl nature, trademark smile, and bubbling playmate personality. She was passionate about softball, and a social butterfly with a down-to-earth vibe among her peers. Everything changed for Wilkinson as she approached high school. At the age of 13, she began using cocaine with her friends, and reportedly calls this the “beginning of her drug days”. Of course, no parent can truly prepare for a child tangled with drug addictions. Guided by pure intentions, Wilkinson’s mother, Patti, resorted to sending Kendra to a local psychiatric facility. Unfortunately, the rehabilitation attempt was unsuccessful, and Wilkinson continued using through high school.

Upon high school graduation in 2003, Wilkinson began exploring a new chapter working as a glamour model. Her exceptional appearance, and bubbly personality lured the attention of notorious Playboy CEO, Hugh Hefner. Her life completely changed after receiving an invitation to Hefner’s 78th Birthday party, where Kendra agreed to become a Playboy Bunny, and permanent mansion resident. In 2005, Kendra appeared on E! Network reality television series, “The Girls Next Door”. The first episode aired in 2005, and received massive ratings as camera crews explored the in-depth lives of popular Playboy Bunnies. During this time, Kendra lived with two other playmates. Wilkinson’s television personality soon expanded to a variety of series, including “Las Vegas”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, and “Entourage”. Kendra went on to produce a few of her own series, “Kendra”, and “Kendra On Top”. In later years, she found acting roles in additional television programs and a few movies, including “Scary Movie 4”, “Scary Movie 5”, and “Dancing with the Stars”. These sources combined total almost $4 million since 2012.

The Playboy chapter ended in 2009 when Kendra married Hank Baskett to settle and pursue family life. They now have two children, Hank Baskett IV, and Alijah Mary Baskett. Kendra’s reality series, “Kendra On Top”, began its initial debut on June 5, 2015 on WE Television. Since this debut, the show has captured moments from Kendra and Hank’s personal lives and marriage, as well as an evolving Kendra Wilkinson personality as she balances motherhood and her professional life. Baskett’s net worth is $3.5 million, and includes revenue from his NFL career—he played for the Minnesota Vikings until 2010. Together, Kendra and Hank share roughly $10 million in combined net worth. Rumors of divorce and Basett’s transgender cheating scandal have echoed since October 2015, but no reports exist to solidify this.

Kendra continues to pursue her career and quality family time. She openly shares what fans consider “down-to-earth” photos, tweets, and other posts with updates and photos of her children. Her total net worth is expected to rise towards $7 million in 2016. This includes an average salary of roughly $700,000, and $156,800 from annual endorsement and sponsorship revenues.
