Bobby Saadian Net Worth 2026: Wilshire Law Firm Founder

No reputable outlet has published an estimate of Bobby Saadian's net worth. The $14.5 million figure and the "$500k a year" income that appeared on this page before had no source, so we have removed them. What is documented: Saadian founded Wilshire Law Firm in Los Angeles in 2007 and, as its founding president and managing attorney, has built it into a multi-office plaintiffs' firm that says it has recovered more than $1 billion for clients.

What is Bobby Saadian's net worth?

Wilshire Law Firm is a private partnership. Its revenue, profits and Saadian's ownership share are not public, and no business publication, court filing or ranking has put a number on his personal wealth. Recovery totals such as "$1 billion" describe what clients received, not what the firm or its founder kept.

For that reason this page does not show a figure. Any number you see elsewhere, including the $14.5 million shown here before, should be treated as a guess.

Where his income comes from

• Contingency fees. Personal injury, employment and class action firms like Wilshire are usually paid a share of what they recover for clients. The firm's reported recoveries grew from more than $350 million (his Martindale profile) to more than $900 million in his personal total by 2021 (Pepperdine), then passed $1 billion for the firm by 2023 (Los Angeles Chargers announcement).
• Ownership of the firm. As founder and managing attorney, he shares in the firm's profits. Martindale lists offices in Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Irvine, Oakland, Riverside, Sacramento, San Diego and Torrance.
• Marketing reach. In August 2023 the Los Angeles Chargers named Wilshire Law Firm the team's exclusive official personal injury law firm, with stadium signage and sponsorship of the team's injury report. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

Education

Saadian earned a law degree (JD) from Pepperdine University's law school, now the Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, and an MBA from Pepperdine's Graziadio Business School, both in 2005, according to Pepperdine. In May 2021 the law school gave him its Young Distinguished Alumnus Award. Pepperdine says he sits on the law school's Dean's Council, has donated to its 50For50 campaign and hires its students.

Career

The firm later added employment law and class actions to its personal injury practice. The Chargers announcement listed notable results including $35 million in truck accident cases, $28.7 million in a school district case and a $12 million wrongful death verdict. U.S. News named Wilshire among its "Best Law Firms" each year from 2020 to 2023.

Professional roles

According to his Martindale profile, he has served on the board of directors of the Consumer Attorneys of California and the board of governors of the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, and has spoken at the National Trial Lawyers Summit and trucking-litigation conferences. He is admitted to the bars of California, Texas and the District of Columbia and holds an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

The 2019 school district case

The firm's best-known result involved an 11-year-old special-needs student struck by a car while walking home alone from school in Victorville in 2017. Wilshire trial attorney Jon C. Teller, working with Panish Shea & Boyle, won a finding of full negligence against the school district, and the case settled for $28.5 million, with the district also agreeing to change how it enforces transportation plans for students with individualized education programs, according to a November 2019 release.

Bobby Saadian's wife and family

Pepperdine reported in 2021 that Saadian and his wife, Renee, have two children. His Instagram profile describes him as a father and husband. His date of birth has not been published, so his age is not known; the height shown on this page earlier had no source and has been removed.

Why net worth sites disagree about him

Net worth pages for lawyers often start from a firm's headline recoveries and apply a guessed fee rate, or simply invent a round number. Both approaches miss the costs a plaintiffs' firm carries: advertising, sponsorships like the Chargers deal, expert witnesses, case expenses advanced for years before a payout, and pay for attorneys and staff across eight offices. Without the firm's books, any single figure is speculation, which is why we show none.

How this page was checked

We used Pepperdine Caruso School of Law, Martindale, the Los Angeles Chargers and a PR Newswire release from the firm. We removed the unsourced net worth, the income table and the claim that he comments on weather topics, which had no basis.
