Rebecca Grossman once accepted humanitarian awards at Los Angeles charity galas, co-founded a global burn survivors’ foundation, and spent two decades as one of LA County’s most recognized philanthropists. A jury convicted her of second-degree murder in February 2024. Her civil trial opens on April 13, 2026. And right now, a Los Angeles court is actively pressing for a full accounting of her finances.

Who Is Rebecca Grossman?
- Full name: Rebecca June Gray Grossman
- Date of birth: June 14, 1963
- Hometown: Texas; later Hidden Hills, California
- Husband: Dr. Peter H. Grossman, Medical Director of Grossman Burn Centers
Rebecca Grossman is the co-founder and former Chair of the Grossman Burn Foundation, wife of prominent LA plastic surgeon Dr. Peter Grossman, and the woman a Los Angeles jury convicted of killing brothers Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, in a September 2020 hit-and-run in Westlake Village.
She is currently serving 15 years to life at the California Institution for Women in Corona.
Where the Money Actually Comes From
Rebecca Grossman’s financial profile spans three decades of independent work, well before she became a public figure for the wrong reasons.
Her professional career started at Southwest Airlines, where she worked as a flight attendant for approximately 14 years between 1985 and 1999. She later co-founded Advanced Laser Specialist, Inc., a medical device company that merged with Physiologic Reps, Inc. in Glendale, California, where she then served as Director of Marketing. After that, she founded and ran her own healthcare promotion business, Medi-Marketing and Associates, serving as its president.
The side of her career most coverage skips: she was also CEO of Powerhouse Lux Media, Inc., and Publisher and Editorial Director of three luxury publications: Westlake Magazine (founded 1992), West Luxury Magazine, and Paragon Healthy Lifestyles Magazine. She co-founded a mobile application development company, DITL Apps, and served as a guest host on ABC7’s weekly morning segment “Stop the Clock.”
That is three separate companies, three publications, and 25-plus years of independent professional income before her arrest.
The Grossman Medical Empire
Dr. Peter H. Grossman is a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon with a career spanning more than 30 years. He is Medical Director of Grossman Burn Centers, which operates locations in West Hills (California), Bakersfield (California), and Kansas City (Missouri), treating burn patients from more than 30 countries.
The Grossman Burn Center name dates to 1969, when Peter’s father, Dr. A. Richard Grossman, opened the original unit at Sherman Oaks Community Hospital, driven by his experience treating children from a 1958 Chicago school fire that killed 93 students. Richard Grossman died in March 2014. His estate, which included a $20 million Hidden Valley property, became the subject of a contested inheritance dispute. Following a settlement in 2018, Peter Grossman received the medical practice his father had built.
The Grossman Burn Centers operate as a private medical group with dedicated CFO-level management. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed, but the multi-state structure and three decades of surgical specialization in a field Dr. Peter Grossman himself has described as “highly profitable” form a significant portion of the household’s overall wealth.
The $13.5 Million Hidden Hills Mansion
The clearest verified financial number tied to Rebecca Grossman comes not from a wealth estimate, but from civil court filings in the Iskander family’s wrongful-death lawsuit.
Their attorneys specifically referenced a $13.5 million mansion on Jim Bridger Road in Hidden Hills as a primary Grossman asset. That valuation appears in documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
That property is now at the center of a legal dispute. According to court filings reported by The Acorn:
- March 2024: Rebecca used her half of the home as collateral in a $5.9 million Deed of Trust for Peter, allegedly to cover legal fees. No evidence of payment was produced.
- July 2025: She transferred her remaining share to Peter for zero financial consideration.
- Same day: Peter transferred the entire property into an entity called the “JB Road Trust”, also for no consideration.
The Iskander family’s attorneys have asked the court whether these transfers amount to fraudulent conveyance structured to shield the asset before a civil judgment lands. That question remains unanswered ahead of the April 13 trial.
The $2 million cash bail posted within hours of Rebecca’s September 2020 arrest also points to significant liquid assets held by the household.
The Foundation, the Afghan Girl, and 20 Years of Philanthropy
The Grossman Burn Foundation was formally established in 2007 as the nonprofit arm of the Grossman Burn Centers. Rebecca served as its volunteer Chair and public face for nearly two decades.
The foundation’s origins trace back to Zubaida Hasan, a nine-year-old girl from Farah Province, Afghanistan, who suffered catastrophic burns in August 2001 when kerosene ignited at her home. Iranian doctors told her father she could not survive. He sought help at a U.S. Army base in Kabul. The State Department contacted Dr. Peter Grossman.
Zubaida underwent 12 reconstructive surgeries over one year at Grossman Burn Center. She lived with the Grossman family in Hidden Hills, enrolled at an elementary school in Calabasas, and learned English in 12 weeks. Rebecca and Peter became her legal guardians in 2002. Her story aired on The Oprah Show, ABC Primetime, and Good Morning America, and later became Tiny Dancer by Anthony Flacco, a New York Times bestselling book published by St. Martin’s Press.
Over the following years, the GBF opened the first specialized burn center in Kabul, trained physicians in developing countries, and ran programs for burn survivors and domestic violence victims worldwide. Rebecca received the American Heart Association’s Woman of the Year award in 2007, a Baha’i Human Rights Award in 2003, and multiple other recognitions through 2017. Former First Ladies Laura Bush and Maria Shriver were among the signatories on the foundation’s Stop Violence Against Women Globally campaign.
September 29, 2020
At around 7:10 p.m., Rebecca Grossman and her then-boyfriend, former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Scott Erickson, left a Westlake Village restaurant after margaritas and drove separately toward her nearby home. Prosecutors said they were racing.
Her white Mercedes-Benz SUV struck Mark Iskander, 11, and Jacob Iskander, 8, as they crossed a marked pedestrian crosswalk on Triunfo Canyon Road with their parents and younger siblings. Mark died at the scene. Jacob died eight hours later at the hospital.
Black box data from her vehicle showed her accelerator at 98% capacity. She was traveling at 73 mph in a 45 mph zone at the moment of impact. Alcohol and Valium were found in her system. She drove approximately a quarter-mile before her car shut itself off. She did not go back.
An emergency room technician later testified that Grossman said: “If they didn’t disable my car, I would have been at home in my garage right now.”
Erickson was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving. That charge was dismissed after he filmed a public service announcement about safe driving. He was never called to testify at the criminal trial.
Convicted, Sentenced, Appeal Denied
On February 23, 2024, a jury convicted Rebecca Grossman on all five counts: two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, and one count of hit-and-run driving resulting in death. The jury deliberated for approximately nine hours.
On June 10, 2024, Judge Joseph Brandolino sentenced her to 15 years to life in state prison. She was also ordered to pay $47,161.89 in restitution to the Iskander family. Prosecutors had pushed for 34 years to life.
She filed an appeal in June 2024 raising more than ten legal arguments, including alleged errors in jury instructions on implied malice, Miranda rights violations, and evidentiary rulings.
On March 17, 2026, a three-judge panel of California’s Second Appellate District issued a 143-page ruling rejecting every argument. The panel found that evidence of Grossman “driving in a highly dangerous manner while impaired was more than sufficient” to sustain the murder convictions. Her attorney has since announced a petition to the California Supreme Court.
The Civil Trial That Could Reshape the Financial Picture
The Iskander family’s wrongful-death lawsuit, filed in January 2021, names Rebecca Grossman, Dr. Peter Grossman, and Scott Erickson as defendants. The family is pursuing both compensatory and punitive damages, which requires full financial disclosure from all parties.
The case has faced repeated delays. The trial was originally set for January 5, 2026, but was pushed back after Grossman’s civil defense attorney left his law firm mid-case. A mandatory settlement conference on February 19, 2026 ended without any agreement. Rebecca appeared by video from prison. Peter Grossman attended in person.
The new trial date is April 13, 2026, in Van Nuys Superior Court.
The Iskander attorneys are pressing for access to JB Road Trust documents, the unedited footage from Peter Grossman’s January 2026 appearance on the Dr. Phil podcast, and communications the family alleges were paid for favorable press coverage. A judge has already denied the Grossmans’ request to block some of that discovery.
Punitive damages in California wrongful-death cases tied to gross negligence carry no fixed cap. The asset transfers, the trust, and the $13.5 million mansion are all inside that conversation.
Where Rebecca Grossman Stands in March 2026
The combined Grossman household net worth of $15 to $20 million is still largely intact on paper. The Hidden Hills mansion sits inside a contested trust. The criminal appeal is heading to the state’s highest court. The civil trial is weeks away. And the attorneys for two parents who buried their children are asking every financial question a court will allow.
On April 13, a civil jury will be asked to put a number on what happened on Triunfo Canyon Road on September 29, 2020. For the Iskander family, it was two boys. For Rebecca Grossman, it may be the financial reckoning that 15 years to life in state prison never fully delivered.
