Kristian Alfonso Net Worth $5 Million Dollars
Born in Brockton, Massachusetts USA, Alfonso is the youngest daughter of Italian parents Gino and Joanne. During her younger years, she spent most of her time falling in love and training as a figure skater; eventually at the tender age of 13, she became a gold medallist in the sport at the Junior Olympics. Unfortunately, due to a tobogganing accident that resulted in a leg injury, Alfonso was forced to quit figure skating. However, upon the end of her figure skating career, a new one emerged in the form of modelling. During her high school years in Brockton High School, she was discovered by the famed modelling agency Wilhelmina.
At the age of 15, she became a full-pledged fashion model, gracing the covers of prominent magazines like Vogue, Seventeen, Sports Illustrated and Bazaar. At a very young age, she was already making a name for herself and building her net worth. After a successful run as a model, she shifted to acting, debuting in the movie “The Starmaker” at the age of 16.
Alfonso’s acting career catapulted to success when she was cast in the television series “Days of our Lives” playing the role of Hope Williams Brady. The character became a hit among fans and Alfonso was able to play the part for four seasons until she left the character in 1987. The show made her a household name and helped raise her wealth tremendously.
Alfonso went on to other projects, starring in the drama “Falcon Crest” in 1987. After two years she left that show, and made a comeback for a limited time in “Days of Our Lives”. She also appeared in various television shows like “Full House”, “Who’s the Boss?” and “Melrose Place”. Alfonso also ventured in to film and starred in several movies including “Joshua Tree”, “Army of One” and “Blindfold: Acts of Obsession”.
Four years after leaving “Days of Our Lives”, Alfonso came back in 1994, this time playing the role of Gina, who later on turned out to be her old character, Hope, and Alfonso is still playing the role to the present day.
Aside from acting, Alfonso is also an entrepreneur and a jewelry designer, starting her own jewelry line “Hope Faith Miracles” in 2006, which has also become a source of her wealth.
In terms of her personal life, in 1987 Alfonso married Simon Macauley, to whom she had one son. Unfortunately the union only lasted for four years. In 2001, she married long time boyfriend Danny Daggenhurst and are still together, with two sons.
