Lisa Thorner’s Early Life and Career

Not a great deal of information is known about Thorner’s early life, as she prefers to keep her personal life out of the public eye. She is known to have worked as an actress and a model back in the day as the source of her net worth, but again there are virtually no details regarding much of her work.

Lisa Thorner’s Net Worth

As of late 2018 and based on authoritative sources, Thorner’s net worth is reported to be $20 million. She was able to acquire such wealth from her years working as an actress and a model, but probably more as a result of her divorce from Damon Wayans.

Quotes

#Quote
1Television is a thing that people get very familiar with. They want to hear your voice in their head.
2I was always the class clown and got kicked out of class at least once a day for just being a goofball. Not suspended or anything, just sit outside and look at the tree on the bench. I got benched a lot. You keep one foot on the bench and try to get as far away as possible.
3Even in real life, sometimes you find that person you click with that you get irritated by every other person in the world but you can be around this person every day and you'd be fine with it.
