When it comes to her own personal protection detail, the model and actress Pamela Anderson is living the real-life Bodyguard experience. When Anderson and her bodyguard Dan Hayhurst (who also works as a contractor) were trapped inside together during the year 2020, she confessed that the two were infatuated with one other and fell in love. Anderson and Hayhurst are both from the same little Canadian village where Hayhurst grew up. Her simple wedding was documented in a few images, and she expressed her satisfaction with the fact that she is “exactly where [she] needs to be.” This year, Anderson and her fiancé were married on a farm that Anderson had purchased from her grandparent’s twenty-five years before, a moment she characterized as “full circle.”

Queen Elizabeth

Star’s Net Worth: $480 million*
Annual Protection Cost: $138.42 million*

Queen Elizabeth is the head of state of the United Kingdom, thus it is only natural that she would have her own bodyguards protecting her. Her Royal Highness is literally protected by a team of infantry troops, known as the Queen’s Guard, who have been recruited to do so. The mansions in the United Kingdom are guarded by these soldiers. There have been some rules and policies governing these guards in force since 1660, according to some sources. She is protected by three officers and forty ranks when she is in residence, which is three times the normal number. Buckingham Palace and St. James Palace both have sentries stationed there. The Queen’s Guard and additional security staff engaged to safeguard the Royal Family are anticipated to cost more than $138 million per year, according to government estimates.
