Suzanne Somers.
Suzanne Somershas revealed how much she’s made thanks to her famous fitness device, the ThighMaster.
During Wednesday’s episode of theHollywood Rawpodcast, Somers, 75, opened up about the success of the product, which was first released in the nineties.
When asked how much she’s made from ThighMaster alone, the actress said, “I grew up poor. And I live a good life … $19.95 x 10 million, so kind of do the math. We’re probably at 15 million now.”
After a brief calculation, co-host Dax Holt discovered Somers made $299,250,000.

“We had partners - 50/50 - and they got drunk on money when it all started selling,” she explained. “They overspent to the point where they could no longer afford to be in their side of the business so we bought them out. We have 100 percent.”
“Anybody can do it,” she said of her ThighMaster success. “People are always calling me and wanting to know ‘How do I this?’ You can’t decide to make money. You have to have a passion about whatever you’re selling. It has to be a fit. I can’t sell baseball bats. But I wanted to keep my legs looking great for those Manolo Blahnik shoes. So there was a weird, kind of strange, passion there.”
Adding: “All the other things we sell now, I have a passion about. I don’t want to put chemicals on my skin. I don’t want my brain over there shrinking. I want to keep my brain. For someone who played the dumbest blonde on television, I have a really good brain.”
