Parents
Born in Columbus, Ohio to Seth and Julia Bonder, who later divorced, she was raised in Saline, Michigan. Her father Seth, an American engineer who founded Vector Research, Inc., was born in the Bronx, New York to Russian emigrants who worked in the garment district.

Change of name and son
She married Tom Kreiss on 10 January 1988, and changed her surname to Bonder-Kreiss. She and Kreiss have a son named Taylor Jennings Kreiss. She divorced Kreiss to marry billionaire Kirk Kerkorian in 1999 whom she divorced within one month.

Daughter
Bonder was involved in a high-profile child support lawsuit with Kirk Kerkorian, her ex-husband of 28 days. Kerkorian, 48 years her senior, suspected that Steve Bing, Bonder's ex-boyfriend, was the father of her daughter. Kerkorian hired Anthony Pellicano, "private eye to the stars", during the dispute. Pellicano took used dental floss from Bing's discarded waste to obtain DNA paternity testing, succeeding in confirming that Bing was the father. Pellicano also wiretapped Bonder's phone calls. Pellicano subsequently was convicted on various charges, including wiretapping and racketeering, involving this case and many other cases, and he received a 15-year prison sentence. One of Kerkorian's attorneys was convicted of racketeering for hiring Pellicano to tap Bonder's phone and received a three-year prison sentence, later confirmed on appeal.
