Pamela Anderson has found herself in possession of quite a significant sum of money after her ex-husband left her $10 million in his will.

The 55-year-old reportedly received the whopping figure from her former partner, 77-year-old Jon Peters - a film producer who was married to the Playboy cover star for just 12 days.

Peters and Anderson reportedly met during the 1980s, with the pair apparently marrying in 2020 - though Anderson revealed to The Hollywood Reporter days after that the marriage was not legally binding. "We have mutually decided to put off the formalization of our marriage certificate and put our faith in the process," she stated.

She did say that while their relationship was not meant to last, there were "no hard feelings," per Metro UK.

Evidently, there are only good vibes between the former couple after it was revealed that Peters left the mom-of-two $10 million in his will - something she wasn't even aware of until recently.

Speaking to Variety, the former hairdresser stated: "I will always love Pamela, always in my heart [...] As a matter of fact, I left her $10 million in my will. And she doesn't even know that. Nobody knows that. I’m just saying it for the first time with you. I probably shouldn't be saying it."

He added: "So that's for her, whether she needs it or not."

Anderson has also spoken highly of her ex-partner, stating: "He's great and has been a huge influence on my life [...] I love him to death."

Following their 2020 nuptials, Peters stated (via PEOPLE): "Pamela has never seen her full potential as an artist. She has yet to shine in a real way. There is much more to her than meets the eye, or I wouldn't love her so much.

"There are beautiful girls everywhere. I could have my pick, but - for 35 years - I've only wanted Pamela. She makes me wild - in a good way. She inspires me. I protect her and treat her the way she deserves to be treated."

The former Baywatch actress - who has been married five times - has been in and out of the headlines during the past few months following the release of the Hulu series Pam and Tommy. That show centered on the tumultuous relationship Anderson had with Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, and the fallout from their leaked sex tape.

"When I first heard about the Pam & Tommy series, I think everyone just protected me from it. I wouldn't get involved. And that's… yeah… I don't know [...] I just think it was interesting to hear about it. It didn't make me happy," she told Variety about the series.

Watch the trailer for Pamela, a love story:

As previously reported, Anderson's recently released documentary was a chance for the former model to take ownership of her own story. The latest project is described as "an intimate and humanizing portrait of one of the world's most famous blonde bombshells," and will follow "the trajectory of Pamela Anderson's life and career from small-town girl to international sex symbol, actress, activist, and doting mother."

Pamela, A Love Story is available on Netflix now.
