What is Shauna Sand's Net Worth?
Shauna Sand is an American actress and model who has a net worth of $1 million. Shauna Sand was originally focused on pursuing a career as a classical dancer. She began her dance training when she was five, attended a performing arts magnet school through much of her elementary and middle school years, and began receiving dance scholarships to study with major companies when she was in her early teens. However, she also started modeling when she was in elementary school, and signed with her first major modeling agency when she was fifteen. Dance ended up taking a backseat. She subsequently moved to Paris, but it was not to further her career. Instead, she took some time away from modeling and completed her B.A. in International Business Administration at The American University of Paris. After returning to the United States, she caught the attention of Hugh Hefner, and, in May 1996, she became the Playboy "Playmate of the Month". Her modeling work led to roles in various film and television projects, including "Renegade", "The Chosen One: Legend of the Raven", "Air America", "Dark Realm", "Charmed and "Las Vegas." Sand's biggest acting role was on the French soap opera "Hollywood Girls" from 2012 to 2014. Shauna is also known for having been married to actor Lorenzo Lamas from 1996 to 2002.
