Sarah Ludden Net Worth And Earnings

Unlike her parents, Sarah has taken a different career path. She is an athlete and must have made significant earnings in her career. Hence, Sarah Ludden’s net worth is estimated to be a considerable sum.

Before starting her athletic career, Ludden was an audiologist and dancer. But later, she developed an interest in martial arts and pursued a career in karate. It also led her to meet her future business partner, a business owner, Nancy Lanoue.

In 1991, Sarah moved to Chicago and joined Thousand Waves. It is a martial arts and self-defense center established by Nancy and her late business partner Jeannette Pappas. They had started the Women’s gym, a feminist health club and the forerunner of Thousand Waves.

When Ludden joined the institute, she was studying Seido Karate and was teaching Kajukenbo kung fu, a second martial art. Sarah and Nancy, the founding co-director and head instructors, began with very few people, and over the years, the number gradually doubled. She even founded the Thousand Waves Scholarship Fund, which provides more than $100K of tuition assistance to her students.

By 2019, they had decided to step away, and since then, Sarah has continued to participate as an active training member. Some of the sites have even reported that she has already retired and is now living a relaxed life.

As per Zip Recruiter, a karate instructor in the USA earns $55,157 annually as a base salary. So, Sarah must have pocketed significant money. As a result, Sarah Ludden’s net worth must be a massive amount.

As for her dad, Allen Ludden’s fortune at the time of his death was $5 million. Similarly, her stepmother, Betty White had a staggering net worth of $75 million at the time of her death.

Is Sarah Ludden Married?

Sarah came into the limelight from a very young age as she was born in an entertainment household. Being born to an actor dad, many people want to know about her personal life. However, it seems as if Ludden has learned the art of living a private life away from media scrutiny.

As stated above, Sarah and her business partner, Nancy, were involved in opening a small karate school. However, some sites have claimed that apart from the professional relationship, the partners were also involved romantically.

As per Closer Weekly, the duo reportedly dated for quite some time before getting involved in the business. But, neither of them has spoken about the truth of their relationship. Hence, whether Nancy was Sarah Ludden’s girlfriend remains a mystery.

Similarly, in January 2022, Sarah wished a woman named Patricia Broughton, saying, “Happy Birthday, Love.” She shared the picture of them learning karate together. However, it is not sure if Patricia is her partner or student.
