Donata Melina Nicolette “Dina” Sullivan was born on 15 September 1962, in New York City, USA of Italian (mother) and Irish (father) ancestry, and is a somewhat controversial reality television personality, best known as the mother and manager of the equally controversial actress and pop singer Lindsay Lohan, and her other daughter – the model, singer and actress Aliana (Ali) Lohan – having drawn her share of criticisms for her role in the lives of her two daughters.
So just how rich is Dina Lohan? Authoritative sources estimate that as of late 2016, Dina has a negative net worth of (minus) -$1.3 million, built-up from living well beyond her means, largely in mortgage for her house in Merrick, New York, which comes to $1.1 million, and then her apparent inability to repay $300,000 to a former business partner. Dina reportedly has to borrow money from her daughter, Lindsay, to make ends meet. It can be said with certainty that the reality television star has seen better days, and it remains to be seen how – and even if – Dina Lohan will recover from her bankruptcy.
Dina Lohan Net Worth (minus) -$1.3 Million
Dina Lohan spent her whole childhood living in the Big Apple, where she has in fact lived for most of her life, and that is where she and her husband, Michael Lohan, raised their most famous daughter, Lindsay. The Lohan marriage itself is a troubled affair, having been broken off twice – once temporarily in 1985, and then again in 2005 when Dina filed for a divorce. The divorce was finalized in 2007, and the $16,000 that Dina Lohan reportedly owes her divorce lawyer is just the tip of the iceberg that is Dina’s debts.
By and large, Dina Lohan’s main claim to fame is as a manager of her actress daughter, Lindsay. It was in connection to Lindsay (and Ali) that Dina made her television debut on the 2008 reality series “Living Lohan”, broadcast by the American cable and satellite network E!. “Living Lohan”, which revolved mainly around Ali Lohan’s show business debut, and Dina’s role in it, was almost universally panned by critics – raising a storm of controversy over whether or not it was ethical to pressure her younger daughter to follow in Lindsay’s footsteps. Most famously, well-known American journalist Anderson Cooper publicly called it a horrid affair, widely quoted for his remark on the chat show “Live with Regis and Kelly” – “I cannot believe I’m wasting a minute of my life watching these horrific people.” Needless to say, Dina Lohan was less than charmed, issuing a statement that Cooper was simply being unnecessarily cruel. Whatever the reception, and regardless that the viewing public seems to be fascinated by the antics of the whole family, Dina’s net worth certainly received a boost from her time on the show, but it does not seem to have been enough to keep her out of debt.
Today, Dina Lohan lives divorced from her former husband, Michael, who she married in 1985 and with whom she has four children – Lindsay, Michael Jr., Ali and Dakota (otherwise known as Cody Lohan).
