Lisa started in the industry as a model and later got into acting. She didn’t find that much success compared to others in the industry, but her net worth did start to increase. Eventually, her popularity started to shoot up thanks to her relationship and eventual marriage to actor Damon Wayans. Damon is part of the Wayans family of entertainers, best known for their contributions to the comedy and entertainment industry. He is mostly known for his association with “Saturday Night Live” and another sketch comedy show “In Living Color” which aired from 1990 to 1992. These shows featured numerous high profile comedians and artists including features from Jim Carrey, Jennifer Lopez, and Michael Jackson. He’s been a part of numerous films and television shows since then, including “The Last Boy Scout” and “My Wife and Kids”.
Thorner continued to stay in the background and is very private about her life. Despite that, her net worth grew with her husband’s success.

Their son Damon Wayans Jr., would have the same line of work and would become best known for the sitcom “New Girl” and voicing the character Wasabi in the animated film “Big Hero 6”. Other relatives of the family are also involved in the acting business. Her nephew Damien Dante Wayans is known for appearing in “My Wife and Kids” and “Malibu’s Most Wanted”.

For her personal life, it is known that Lisa was married to Damon Wayans from 1984 up to their divorce in 2000. The two started dating in 1982, but their marriage ended apparently due to unhappiness from both parties. They could not settle their differences and eventually Damon filed for divorce. They have four children and one grandchild. She has not remarried since then, but keeps her current endeavors away from the eye of the media.
