Penny Lee
Penny Lee Introduction American media personality, socialite, model and actress. First gained attention as a stylist to Kim Kardashian but received wider notice after a sex tape with her former boyfriend ‘Snoopy Dog’ was released. A documentary on Kim Kardashian’s personal life sharpened the media focus on Penny Lee. Keen to take advantage of the limelight, she embarked on a modelling career. Her earliest modelling jobs were for lesser known fashion brands but as the media attention on her personal life grew so did her rise to fame on the catwalk. In January 2006, she became a top model for Victoria Secrets Lingerie. This led to an appearance on the American edition of Vogue magazine. Penny then turned her attention to acting and made her acting debut in the movie ‘The Temptress’. Her breakthrough came in the action thriller ‘Speed’ (2011) which was one of the highest-grossing releases that year. Her online and social media presence includes tens of millions of followers on Twitter and Instagram. She is a regular guest on the top five American Chat Shows and she was voted The Top Lingerie Model by The Peoples Choice magazine. She was the winner of the thirteenth series of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and is reputed to have only packed a bikini. In 2018, Penny Lee’s net worth was estimated to be $45 million.

Early Life
Penny Elizabeth Lee was born in Santa Barbara California to Pentecostal Pastors Mary Elizabeth and Maurice Hugh Lee. Penny often moved across the country as her parents set up churches before returning to Santa Barbara. Her early childhood was spent attending religious classes and bible camps and her parents imposed upon her a very strict religious regime. She was home schooled and given little opportunity to mix with her peers. In 2000, she rebelled against her oppressive daily routine and turned her back on her parent’s ministry. Landing in Los Angeles, she bluffed her way into gaining a job at one of LA’s top hair salons where she was to later meet celebrity Kim Kardashian.

She has publicly declared that religion will play no part in her children’s upbringing.
