Dann Florek remains one of the actors who spent the most time on “Law & Order: SVU,” having dedicated nearly 20 years of his career to the show. However, that’s just a patch on the decades he’s devoted to his longtime love, wife Karen.
Per Us Weekly, Florek wed his missus in 1983. In other words, their union comes in just shy of four decades together. However, their time together as a couple hasn’t always been the most glamorous. In fact, to say these two have been together for richer or poorer since then would be an understatement. As Florek told Chicago Tribune back in 1988, they endured more than their fair share of financial hardships early on. “There were times when she was working and I was making $1.38 a week,” he revealed.
Luckily for the Floreks, their fortune soon changed. Per Celebrity Net Worth, at one point, Dann Florek brought in a whopping $100,000 per episode. As for Mrs. Florek, her website notes that she’s had many of her own professional successes, too, such as exhibiting her artworks at a host of prestigious galleries, including The Joshua Tree Art Gallery. She’s also won a number of awards for her work along the way. Talk about building a life together — a fabulous one at that!
