Stephen Collins has an estimated net worth of $14 million. He is an American actor-musician and writer-director best known for his role on the long-running series, "7th Heaven." In October 2014, Collins was investigated by the New York City Police Department after an audio tape leaked to the media revealing an admission of past sexual abuse of a minor.
The "7th Heaven" actor, Stephen Collins, who has a $14 million fortune as listed by Celebrity Net Worth, had been recognized for his role as a righteous dad and pastor on the long-running television series. But his image has been tainted by shocking reports of sexual misconduct with minors.
Based on the December 2014 interview with People magazine, 67-year-old Stephen Collins admitted his inappropriate sexual conduct with three female minors in 1973, 1982 and 1994. In his lengthy statement, Collins explained how he had an urge to act out in such a way in the last 2 decades.
Though Stephen Collins has remained out of the public eye since TMZ released a recording of his child molestation confession, he has maintained his net worth value. And before his Katie Couric interview that will air Friday, The Daily Mail reported Collins admitted his sexual misdeeds and explained that he has addressed his problems through faith.
"I had dealt with them very, very strongly, and committedly, in my private life, but I think, I'm a human being with flaws and I've done everything to address it," Collins said in the interview. "One of the main things about the Christian faith, is you know, Christ said in so many ways, 'bring me that ... which about you is broken, bring it,' and most people are broken in some way."
Stephen Collins, who has a $10 million net worth as listed by The Richest, also explained why he has not apologized to the women he once assaulted.
"Forty years ago, I did something terribly wrong that I deeply regret," Collins stated. "I have been working to atone for it ever since."
In Stephen Collin's admission, the actor, who has a multimillion net worth, said the 1994 incident was a "wake up" call. Los Angeles Times reported he had apologized to one of his victims after the encounter.
"It was a completely impulsive act and it's haunted me ever since," Collins said. "I don't say this to excuse what I did - it was inexcusable - but to clarify what actually happened."
"With all my heart, I want them to know how sorry I am and that I haven't engaged in any such behavior for over 20 years," he added. "I deeply regret the mistakes I've made and any pain I caused these three women."
Amidst the controversial scandal of Stephen Collins' sexual misconducts, The Richest lists his fortune as $10 million while Celebrity Net Worth lists $14 million.
