Baywatch hit the big screen in 2017, receiving mixed reviews but delighting fans of the original series with its action-packed scenes. Directed by Seth Gordon and penned by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift, the film garnered negative reviews and even Golden Raspberry Awards. Film Frenzy wrote, “A movie based on a show about brain-baked lifeguards isn’t going to stir memories of, say, A Man for All Seasons or The King’s Speech or even Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but within its own parameters, Baywatch knows the territory.” Rotten Tomatoes gave it a meager 17 percent. Despite the criticism, the movie grossed a worldwide total of $117 million against a production budget of $69 million, making its already wealthy cast even richer.
Curious about the net worth of Baywatch‘s cast members? Here’s a look at the three wealthiest stars of the 2017 action-comedy film.
