What is Lindsay Wagner's Net Worth?
Lindsay Wagner is an American actress who has a net worth of $15 million. Lindsay Wagner is best known for leading her role in the 1970s TV show The Bionic Woman.

Early Life
Lindsay Wagner was born on June 22nd, 1949 in Los Angeles, California. Her mother was named Marilyn Thrasher, and her father was named William Wagner. In the 1960s, Marilyn's brother Ed Thrasher married actress Linda Gray. That technically made Linda Lindsay's aunt.
She would eventually move back to Los Angeles to pursue a career as an actress, but the next few years would take her further north. Lindsay's parents divorced when she was seven; she moved with her mother to Northeast California. After a move to Portland, Oregon, Lindsay was able to put down roots and attend high school.
During her time in high school, she participated in a number of school plays, sparking her passion for acting. After graduating, she spent two years traveling through France before enrolling at the University of Oregon for one year. She then moved to a community college before dropping out. She realized that her true calling was acting, and she moved back to her birthplace of Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment world. It proved to be a very smart choice.
