Rebecca Grossman Net Worth – $20 million

What is Rebecca Grossman’s net worth?

Introduction

There are a lot of things Rebecca Grossman could be known for.

She is a scientist.

She’s a business visionary who—alongside her husband—started one of the most influential burn foundations in the world.

She’s an advocate for burn victims in places as far away from her cushy suburban California life as Afghanistan and Pakistan.

She’s also a mom—yet she was allegedly speeding down a Westlake Village street frequented by families, just 20 minutes from her own home, racing a friend back to her luxury digs for tacos, when she hit and killed two children.

According to reports, she then tried to flee the scene before her luxury Mercedes SUV shut down as a safety feature.

What do we know about the Texan businesswoman and humanitarian that took the lives of two innocent children?

Read on to find out.

The Origin Story

Dr. Peter Grossman and Rebecca Grossman – @Getty

Rebecca Gray Grossman was born on July 14, 1961, in Texas.

She has an older brother named Michael.

She is a Texas Tech University graduate—she earned her degree back in 1982.

Rebecca Grossman also pursued higher education after she’d made the move with her family to California—she graduated from the University of California in Los Angeles in 2002, with a qualification in broadcast journalism.

After graduating from Texas Tech, Grossman worked as a flight attendant at Southwest Airlines for almost five years.

Rebecca then worked in Medical Marketing and Management at Physiological Reps Inc. (PRI) in her mid- to late-30s.

A young go-getter with a savvy business mind and an affinity for marketing, she was also eager to get out on her own.

Husband

Rebecca Grossman has been married to Dr. Peter Grossman for several decades, and the pair have two children together.

Dr. Peter Grossman is a board-certified plastic surgeon and the President of the Los Angeles Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Rebecca says via her LinkedIn profile that:

“My children are my legacy and role modeling to them how to pull yourself up from a crisis is critical.”

Grossman and her husband live in a luxury community called Hidden Hills in Los Angeles County.

They live on the same street as disgraced B-list actress and fraud, Lori Loughlin, who went to prison in 2020.

Mark & Jacob Iskander

On September 29, 2020, Rebecca Grossman was driving her Mercedes AMG GLE 43 at 81mph—according to her vehicle’s state of the art onboard computer—when it allegedly hit brothers Mark and Jacob Iskander.

Mark was 11, and Jacob was 9.

They had been walking with their family—parents Nancy and Karim, younger brother Zachary, and baby sister Violet—when Rebecca’s and another person’s vehicles approached the marked crosswalk.

Rebecca’s car struck the two boys—Mark died at the scene and Jacob died in hospital several hours later.

Grossman did not stop her vehicle at the scene, but continued driving until the Mercedes’ disabled its motor.

This safety feature is designed to kick in whenever the vehicle deploys an airbag—which it had done. Grossman tried to start the ignition of her car 14 times after stopping.

Grossman claimed she did not know what she hit, and did not go back to the scene of the crime.

She stayed in her car.

Grossman was arraigned on December 30, 2020, and charged with two counts of murder in the second degree and two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence—with a potential charge of hit-and-run resulting in death still being considered in 2022.

The disgraced businesswoman pled not guilty to murder charges.

Over the next 16 months, Grossman would miss five court dates, prompting the judge to apologize to the traumatized Iskander family for the “torture and heartbreak” being inflicted on them still.

Grossman changed attorneys in December of 2021, and in April of 2022, her Preliminary Hearing began.

Her attorneys implied potential police misconduct (none was found) and attempted to have the press and the public banned from the hearing (the request was denied).

Grossman still lives at home on a $2 million bond, despite the deaths of the two boys.

The trial is ongoing in 2022.
