Pam Anderson is a million dollars richer today, and Rick Salomon is probably a lot happier.
According to reports on gossip website, TMZ.com, the couple who had been in a nuclear battle over how the two were going to call it their marriage quits. Pam Anderson had earlier filed for divorce whereas the now ex-husband had filed for an annulment instead.
Pam allegedly held Rick's dog Bumblebee hostage for a week, and then launched into a tirade that he was bad at sex ... which didn't jive with various text messages she sent him.
According to the reports, Rick paid Pam just north of $1 million in return for the divorce. But Rick got something as well. Pam was challenging his Nevada residency, claiming he was a California resident who was trying to dodge taxes on a $40 million poker win. Nevada doesn't have state taxes.
Now that they're divorced, Pam isn't contesting Rick's residency, so she's off his back.
