Lola Falana had a robust showbiz career all through the 1960s and 1970s. While performing in Las Vegas at The Sands, The Riviera, and MGM Grand hotels, The Aladdin (now Planet Hollywood Las Vegas) made her an offer of $100,000 per week to perform. This amount, in addition to her earnings from other engagements, made her the highest-paid entertainer in Las Vegas with a salary of $2 million in the 1970s.
While appearing at Bally’s hotel and casino in Atlantic City in 1983, Lola Falana played baccarat and won a minority stake in the New York Mets. By the time she eventually sold the stake in 1988, she became 14 million dollars richer.
Although Lola’s net worth of $10 million was mostly gotten through her entertainment career, a little part of it also came from the few modelling jobs she did.
