Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan divorce: Inside their assets and how split will affect their $25M net worth

Leah Remini and Angelo Pagan divorce: Inside their assets and how split will affect their $25M net worth

As a long-time fan of Leah Remini’s work, I must say it’s always fascinating to follow the lives of our beloved celebrities. Leah, with her undeniable talent and unyielding spirit, has graced our screens for decades, from The King of Queens to her fearless documentaries criticizing the Church of Scientology.


After 21 years of being married, Leah Remini and her spouse Angelo Pagan have decided to part ways. This raises the question of how their accumulated wealth will be distributed.

Actor and restaurant owner, Pagan (who shares a business venture in a well-liked LA brunch eatery with Remini’s stepfather), is thought to have a net worth of approximately $25 million.

Simultaneously, Leah Remini appeared in the popular sitcom “The King of Queens” between 1998 and 2007. It is said that she earned nearly half a million dollars per episode during the final two seasons.

At this point, it remains unclear if Remini and Pagan entered into a prenuptial agreement, which means the division of their assets remains uncertain.

On Thursday, Remini and Pagan publicly declared their friendly parting of ways. This announcement came exactly a week after Jennifer Lopez initiated the divorce proceedings with Ben Affleck.

In 1996, that’s when the pair initially crossed paths, a full two years before she embarked on her career-defining journey playing a character in the popular TV show “The King of Queens,” starring opposite Kevin James.

In 2003, they held their Scientology-themed wedding in Las Vegas. A full ten years later, they and Leah Remini’s mom parted ways with the Church of Scientology.

That same year, In Touch magazine reported that Remini had bought a mansion in Studio City, Los Angeles, for around $3.75 million.

In 2023, Remini initially attempted to put the property up for sale, just as her and Pagan’s daughter, Sofia (aged 20), embarked on her college journey. The property was listed with a price tag of $12,499,000.

Despite multiple attempts to sell it, she lowered the price by two adjustments during the year 2023, yet managed to struggle with finding a purchaser for her home.

After a while, she managed to offload her 1.5-acre property valued at $9,300,000 on July 1 of this year. This sale took place merely weeks prior to the public announcement of her and Pagan’s separation, as reported by The Blast.

Currently, both Pagan and George Marshall co-own the vibrant brunch spot known as Vivian’s Millennium Cafe in Studio City.

Back in 1963, Vivian and Walter established Vivian’s Cafe. In 1999, the business was taken over by a new pair, Pagan and Marshall, who gave it the additional title of ‘Millennium’.

Studio City is recognized as a haven for Hollywood industry workers, and during Pagan and Marshall’s management, the restaurant became their favorite hangout spot.

Regarding Remini’s earnings from acting, it remains undisclosed how much she receives in royalties from the re-broadcasts of her hit series, The King of Queens, which spanned over nine seasons.

Prior to the eighth season, Remini managed to secure a salary increase that brought it up to nearly equal James’ earnings, which were over $400,000 per episode, as reported by Variety. In simpler terms, she negotiated to earn roughly the same amount as James for each episode they both appeared in.

After the show concluded in 2007, Leah Remini has made appearances in several films, one of which is the comedy “Second Act,” where she shares the screen with her good friend, Jennifer Lopez.

As a devoted advocate, I’ve penned a highly successful memoir titled “Troublemaker” and produced several hard-hitting documentaries that offer unsparing critiques of the Church of Scientology.

In a delightful reunion, Remini and James appeared together again on the television series “Kevin Can Wait,” but unfortunately, the show was taken off air by CBS in 2018 following only its second season.

Apart from being an actor, Pagan is known for his roles in films like the 2001 thriller “Swordfish”, and for making frequent appearances on the sitcom “The King of Queens”.

The couple both starred on the TLC reality show Leah Remini: It’s All Relative for two seasons, along with Remini’s mother Vicki, sister Shannon and stepfather Geroge.

On Thursday, Remini and Pagan released a joint statement, choosing a harmonious tone as they shared reasons for their divorce.

In simpler terms, they explained that over time, we both evolved, much like people often do, and found ourselves playing parts that no longer suited us appropriately.

After much thought and tireless dedication, I’ve made the decision to embark on this new journey, one that truly embodies my current self. My connection with this entity remains unwavering; it’s merely transformed into a form that’s distinct yet equally profound.

They acknowledged feeling ‘sorrowful’ over the divorce, yet emphasized that they view their marriage as a ‘triumph’ and consider each other as ‘cherished friends.’
