Nastassja Kinski Net Worth $20 Million

Nastassja was born to German actor Klaus Kinski and actress Ruth Brigitte Tocki, his second wife, of part-Polish descent. Her parents divorced when she was seven, and Kinski saw her father only rarely after that, as her mother brought up her and her siblings in Munich. As a teenager, Nastassja started working as a model, but began acting soon after, when actress Lisa Kreuzer recommended her for a role in Wim Wenders’ film “The Wrong Move“. She later reappeared in other Wenders’ movies, in 1984 in “Paris, Texas“ and in 1993 in “Faraway, So Close“. However, her first major roles came in an episode of the TV series “Tatort“, and then the British horror film “To the Devil a Daughter“ (1976). She landed a different type of role in the 1978 Italian romantic movie “Stay As You Are“ which brought her recognition in the US the following year, as the film was internationally released by Columbia Pictures. Her net worth was crtainly well established.

Having met director Roman Polanski in the mid ’70s, she started studying method acting, and was offered the title role in his 1979 movie “Tess“, which proved to be a great successs as the film was nominated for six awards including the Best Picture Award at the 53rd Academy Awards. Posing nude for the October number of US Vogue in 1981 she confirmed her status as a sex symbol, and her other notable ventures during the years include “One from the Heart“ (1982), “Cat People“ (1982), “Unfaithfully Yours“(1984), “Maria’s Lovers“(1984) and “Torrents of Spring“(1989). Kinski appeared in numerous films of American production during the ’90s, cooperating with the likes of Mike Figgis and Charlie Sheen. In 2006 she starred in Davyd Lynch’s film „Inland Empire“. Her more recent activity includes appearing in Rotimi Rainwater’s youth awareness film “Sugar“(2013), and competing in the German “Let’s Dance“ show in 2016.

Privately, Nastassja was married to Egyptian filmmaker Ibrahim Moussa from 1984 to 1992 with whom she has two children. She then dated musician Quincy Jones with whom she also had a daughter, Kenya Kinski-Jones who is now a professional model. In an interview in 2001, Kinski stated that she suffered from narcolepsy, a sleeping disorder.
