Pamala is now estimated to be worth at least $1 million, and could possibly have a net worth of up to a whopping $5 million.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s mostly thanks to her pageant queen titles, modelling work, and now, being a Netflix reality TV star. Pamala started out with a psychology degree from UCL and ended up later training at the London School of Film Production. So she&#8217;s worked really hard.<\/p>\n<p>She isn\u2019t a two-time pageant queen, but the former Miss India\u2013UK! These days, she does modelling for couture brands, and has worked with children charities Liter of Light and Earth Angels NGO. But now, she&#8217;s channelling all the drama she brings to reality TV.<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like <\/i><i><span
