What Is Pnina Tornai’s Net Worth?

Pnina Tornai (birth name – Pnina Asis) is an Israeli TV personality and wedding dress designer who has a net worth of $3 million. She is a prominent designer for the famous New York City wedding dress boutique Kleinfeld Bridal.

But, she is best known for her line of wedding dresses, which are regularly featured on the show Say Yes to the Dress.

She was born on November 25, 1962.

Pnina is the eldest of four daughters of Shai Assis, an Israeli diplomat from Alexandria.

Tornai served in the Israeli military. After, she studied acting in France.

She once said about her childhood:

”Growing up, I actually never thought of becoming a designer. I always wanted to be an actress!”

The designer returned home in 1992 and got into the dress business. During an interview, she recalled:

”When I came back to Israel 10 years later, alone with my son, I needed to earn a living.”

Tornai went on to say:

“And the only thing I liked besides acting was fashion.”

In a different interview, she said:

”The first dress I ever created was my wedding dress.”

Her passion for design was inspired by her Egyptian father and Moroccan mother, who exposed her to elaborate cultural celebrations and ceremonies from a young age.

She first showed her dresses to Kleinfeld Bridal in 2005; however, her initial designs were rejected for being too sexy.

She said:

“That was really not an easy beginning because I remember the day where I came to Kleinfeld and showed my dresses, and the buyer was looking at my dresses with a very weird face, saying, ‘We are never going to sell these dresses in America.”

After only 2 years, she became Kleinfeld Bridal’s top vendor.

In 2009, she appeared on the Israeli version of the reality television show Big Brother VIP.
