Melinda Gates: $2.4 Billion, 56

Melinda Gates, Microsoft’s former general manager, has consistently been ranked by Forbes as one of the most powerful women worldwide. She is also the other half of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the most prominent private charity in the world as of 2015.

In May 2021, she and Bill Gates announced they’re getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage. Melinda has raised three children together with the business magnate. In her 2019 memoir titled The Moment of Lift, she wrote about the hidden struggles of being the wife of a famous figure. Today, the 56-year-old philanthropist has $2.4 billion to her name.

Tori Kelly – 28, $3 Million

She was born in California in 1992. By 2015, Tori Kelly was able to release her debut album, titled Unbreakable Smile. Soon enough, her career skyrocketed, even getting to voice Meena on the Sing movie. In fact, she’ll now be reprising that character for the film’s sequel, expected within 2021.

 

In the meantime, Kelly has earned a $3-million fortune through her other albums, the most recent of which, A Tori Kelly Christmas, was released in late 2020. That year was quite busy for her, as she also participated in The Masked Singer competition as the Seahorse.

Nicole Scherzinger – 42, $14 Million

Remember the Pussycat Dolls girl-band? Nicole Scherzinger was one of its lead singers, and she has certainly grown up by now. While at it, she has also earned a $14-million fortune. Even though the band was dismembered and then formed again, her career never was actually paused.

 

She has a long career in judging, both with The X Factor UK, between 2012 and 2017, but also as a panelist on The Masked Singer competition since 2019. Nicole lives in a $3.76-million mansion in Hollywood Hills. She’s set to tour with her band in the early summer of 2021.

Ariana Grande: $150 Million, 27

She saw it, wanted it, and got it! That is how Ariana Grande lives her life. The Grammy Award-winning singer made a fortune worth $150 million with her successful career and all those music concerts.

 

The young fashionista seems to be living the A-list life wherein she splurges on the most exquisite items. At one point, she even drunk-spent her dollars in Tiffany‘s jewelry store and bought seven rings. Yes, the 7 Rings song draws inspiration from a real and costly incident. Besides, who can forget the time Grande flew her pets to a concert on a private jet!

Ciara: $20 Million, 35

After rising to fame in 2002 with her hit song 1, 2, Step, Ciara has since become a household name in the music industry, releasing seven albums to date. With all her hard work, the singer has won numerous awards and has a massive bank balance to show for it.

Known for her impressive voice and dancing, Ciara has made the bulk of her money from tours and merchandise, with her music also selling over 20 million records worldwide. With all that money, the dancer can choose to retire, and she will still have sufficient to take her children on all the vacations they’d want.

Gwen Stefani: $160 Million, 52

Gwen Stefani has been shaking up the music world since the ’90s when she was the lead vocalist of the band No Doubt. After the band went on hiatus, the singer-songwriter started a solo career and debuted her studio album “Love. Angel. Music. Baby” in 2004. Since then, she has become a critical and commercial success, with millions in her account.

The American popstar—now also a fashion designer—is one of the most successful artists of the 2000s and has amassed a fortune of $160 million today. Over 30 million copies of her albums, including those she recorded with her band, have sold worldwide.

Reba McEntire: $95 Million, 65

Reba McEntire has her name engraved in the list of best country musicians. No wonder she is called ‘The Queen of Country’! The charismatic crooner signed up with MCA Nashville Records initially and rose to fame; even as recently as 2020, Reba signed a brand new deal with them.

The multitalented artist is on a roll and is sitting on a fortune worth $95 million. Being one of the top-most selling artists in history, McEntire is well-deserving of all this wealth for sure. All we hope is that Reba is making some worthwhile investments for her future as she continues to churn out hits.

Dennis Rodman: $500K, 59

In the 80s and 90s, Denis Rodman was one of the NBA‘s most prominent names on and off the pitch. As a player, Rodman was quite the maestro, which reflected in his wages. He once ranked among the top ten earners in the sport, raking in a salary of nine million dollars.

 

You may ask why the star athlete’s net worth doesn’t match the numbers, right? Well, Rodman was quite the spendthrift, and he didn’t spare any expenses when it came to living large. It saw his net worth plummet, but the man still has some of his savings left, and currently, Rodman’s estimated to be worth around $500,000.

Miley Cyrus – $160 Million, 28

She may only be 28 years old, but already, Miley Cyrus has earned a $160-million fortune through her acting and singing. It all started with the Hannah Montana series in which she starred by her father’s side as a teenager. Now, she’s recently released her seventh album called Plastic Hearts in 2020.

 

Having earned all that money, Miley’s now able to drive around in any vehicle she likes and live in whatever house she sets her mind to. In 2020 she splashed out $4.95-million buying a mansion in Hidden Hills. According to Motorbiscuit, she drives a Mercedes-Benz SL500 convertible and an ML450 hybrid.

Al Roker: $70 Million, 66

Al Roker is one of the most prominent TV personalities in his career that spans over three decades. He is mostly known for reporting on the weather, and with a salary of ten million dollars, the weatherman is making it rain!

 

The former DJ is also a gifted author with several titles under his name, all of which contribute to his neat fortune of about seventy million dollars. Roker spends his millions on real estate, with his latest acquisition being an idyllic Manhattan mansion and various charity organizations since he holds philanthropy close to his heart.

Lady Gaga – $320 Million, 35

Her first album was released in 2008, titled The Fame. She has been consistent in creating chart-peaking songs ever since and has even recently ventured onto Hollywood, with the making of A Star Is Born in 2018. By today, Lady Gaga has earned herself a $320 million fortune.

 

She gets to live on a 10,270-square-foot mansion in Malibu and recently released her latest album called Chromatica in 2020. Of course, not all of her income is from singing; after all, in 2019, she launched the HAUS Laboratories vegan cosmetics brand.

Floyd Mayweather: $500 Million, 44

Floyd Mayweather has seemingly punched his way to a neat fortune, and as one of the most gifted boxers, his net worth aptly reflects that.

 

With career earnings surpassing a billion dollars, Mayweather is among the wealthiest sports personalities, and he isn’t afraid of spending the millions. Floyd’s real estate and car collection are almost unrivaled, and he likes eating life with the big spoon. We can’t blame the man, though. After all, he earns hundreds of millions of dollars for a single fight! The money may never run out for this superstar, it seems.

Taylor Swift – $365 Million, 31

According to Forbes, Taylor Swift should now be worth around $365 million. We’re not surprised by that number, though, knowing how much success she’s found over the years. Within 2020, she released two albums, Folklore and Evermore, and in 2021 she re-released Fearless in her own version.

 

The Lonny website mentions that she’s invested over $80 million in real estate over the years. After all, who could forget the time she bought a house in Beverly Hills for $25 million? In 2019, she apparently listed her smaller Beverly Hills mansion on the market, seeking $2.65 million.

Melinda Gates: $2.4 billion, 56

Melinda Gates, Microsoft’s former general manager, has consistently been ranked by Forbes as one of the most powerful women worldwide. She is also the other half of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the most prominent private charity in the world as of 2015.

 

In May 2021, she and Bill Gates announced they’re getting a divorce after 27 years of marriage. Melinda has raised three children together with the business magnate. In her 2019 memoir titled The Moment of Lift, she wrote about the hidden struggles of being the wife of a famous figure. Today, the 56-year-old philanthropist has $2.4 billion to her name.

Nayel Nassar: $75 Million, 30

Nayel Nassar flew under everyone’s radar after he got engaged to Bill Gates’ daughter, Jennifer Gates, in January 2020. But in the world of equestrianism, the professional equestrian is a superstar and recently bagged the 2019 LGCT Hamburg Silver Medal.

 

Although born in Chicago, Nassar grew up in Kuwait. He first had a taste of horseback riding at five years old and was already jumping at ten. In 2009, he decided to move back to California and graduated from Stanford University four years later. Nassar has been dating Jennifer since 2017.

Jennifer Katharine Gates: $20 Million, 25

Jennifer Katharine Gates is Bill and Melinda Gates’ eldest daughter and has set an example for her two other siblings by being a great equestrian and medical school scholar. The 25-year-old Icahn School of Medicine student is currently engaged to fellow equestrian Nayel Nassar. Both of them went to Stanford University.

 

One interesting fact about Jennifer is that her tech mogul father didn’t allow her to have a phone before turning 14 years old. She shared a statement on her Instagram Story regarding her parents’ divorce in May 2021, asking privacy from her followers as her family navigates through the challenging separation.

Selena Gomez – $75 Million, 28

We’ve seen her act, sing and perform, and to be honest, we can hardly think of one thing that Selena Gomez is not good at. It all started in 2002 when she was ten years old and cast to play on Barney & Friends. Soon enough, she landed a career-shaping role on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place.

 

Today, she’s on her third album, released in 2020, called Rare. She’s also about to play in In the Shadow of the Mountain in 2021. After all those years she’s spent in the limelight, Gomez is now worth $75 million and lives in a $4.9-million house in Los Angeles, with an 11,000-square-foot interior!

Melanie Martinez – $8 Million, 25

With her eccentric style and an incredible amount of talent, it would have been difficult for Melanie Martinez to go unnoticed. She was born in New York City in 1995 and released her first album in 2015, called Cry Baby. Now that she’s 25, she’s on her second album, released in 2019, called K-12.

 

So far, Martinez is estimated to have earned an $8-million fortune. On top of her gigantic net worth, she also has quite a large fanbase. In fact, she has over 9.1 million followers on her Instagram account at the moment. In late 2020 she released an extended play called After School.

Cardi B – $30 Million, 28

Cardi B may have only ever released one album, Invasion of Privacy, in 2018, but she’s already earned a $30-million fortune with which to get by. Of course, we’re hardly surprised seeing how many chart-peaking singles she’s made. In 2020 she released WAP, which made headlines, and now in 2021, she released her latest, called Up.

 

Both of these songs peaked the Billboard 100 in the States. She lives in a $5.8-million house with her husband, Offset, who she married in 2017. Cardi B is only 28 years old, yet already, she made it on Times’ 100 Most Influential People list in 2018.

Sandra Bullock: $200 Million, 56

If we could make a checklist for Sandra Bullock, let’s see how that would be like! She checks the boxes of being a stunner, super talented, and a rich woman. After working with renowned production houses, Bullock has accumulated a fortune of $200 million. Even with lesser roles in today’s time, the celeb continues to remain one of the most skilled actresses.

 

As fans, you must wonder what Sandra is up to with such a massive amount. Ah, simple! Her $16.9 million worth mansion is one of the big buys she has made with her earnings, and we bet there are plenty more yet to come for this Oscar-winner.

Lionel Richie: $200 Million, 71

When we talk about some extraordinary work in the music industry, it is impossible to miss out on Lionel Richie’s name. After being a member of the band Commodores, Riche went solo, and that decision certainly went in his favor. The soulful singer is currently in his seventies, and nothing is stopping him from going for back-to-back tours.

 

Lionel’s hardworking nature and vast experience have helped him become a rich man today. A net worth of $200 million is not a small amount and speaks volumes for his skill. Let us hope the multi Grammy-winner continues to make tours, so we get lucky enough to see him perform live soon.

Mohamed Salah – Soccer – $90 Million

Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah Hamed plays for the Liverpool Premier League club as a forward. He is revered for his speed, finishing, and dribbling skills. His career started with the El Mokawloon club in Egypt before he departed for the Basel club in Switzerland.

 

Salah soon got the attention of Chelsea who signed him up in 2014 and they also loaned him to clubs like Roma and Fiorentina. Roma gave him a permanent contract worth an estimated $17.5 million and in 2017 he joined Liverpool on a record $47-million-contract.

Monica Lewinsky: $1.5 Million, 47

As an author, activist, and public speaker, Monica Lewinsky has built herself quite an enviable fortune running in the millions. Being a prominent personality had worked to her advantage, and her business acumen has been quite outstanding. Lewinsky ventured into fashion with her line of handbags and on television, too, as a host for Mr. Personality – a reality TV dating show.

 

There’s a lot more coming from Lewinsky as the enterprising lady continues to thrive, and her net worth is likely to continue going up. We’ll be sure to keep you in the loop of things.

Rick Harrison: $9 Million, 55

If you are into reality TV, you must have heard about Pawn Stars, a television show about buying and reselling artifacts, mostly antiques. The show centers around the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, which the Harrison family runs.

 

At the helm is Rick Harrison, the family scion who pulls strings. Over the years, Rick has managed to build an empire in real estate and showbiz, which has seen his worth climb up to the heights we see today. What’s more, the money will likely keep on flowing in, given that Rick is as entrepreneurial as he is hard working.

Alexis Ohanian: $40 Million, 37

Internet entrepreneur Alexis Ohanian is well known as the founder of the social news website Reddit, and for such an astute business person, his net worth befits him.

 

Alexis thrives on solving common world problems in a remarkably intuitive way, and his contribution to society remains unmatched. What’s more, he is always offering guidance and mentorship to upcoming talents in his field. Talk of a man who is never tired of giving! The technology entrepreneur is also a published author, and with multiple revenue streams, Ohanian may never have to worry about his finances going south.

Danica Patrick: $80 Million, 39

Can you guess who the most prominent female professional racing driver is? That’s none other than Danica Patrick, whose exploits on the racing track are the stuff of legends.

 

She may have hung her boots in 2018, but Danica undeniably inspired a generation in her wake. By dominating a field where few women have ventured, she broke the perceived barriers, which saw more female drivers participate in the sport. For her efforts on and off racing, Danica is worth an estimated 80 million dollars and an undisputed place in the sport’s history.

Robert De Niro: $500 Million, 77

Hats off to one of the most talented showbiz personalities of his generation! We are talking about Robert De Niro, whose efforts in the world of film are unparalleled. His accolades speak volumes about the man who made his film debut in 1963’s The Wedding Party, although he was relatively unknown back then. Success was only a matter of time.

 

When it rained, it poured, and De Niro’s success as an actor was almost unprecedented. As a producer, he has been as successful, with his films grossing over a billion dollars at the box office. Talent and hard work have seemingly paid off for this Hollywood maverick.

Ron Howard: $200 Million, 67

As an actor and director, Ron Howard has earned a pretty penny, with a personal fortune running in the hundreds of millions. Where did the money come from?

 

Well, Howard has been a film director since 1977 and has a hand in several blockbusters such as The Da Vinci Code and Cinderella Man. On top of that, Howard owns a production company and is quite active on the real estate scene with various prime property acquisitions in the recent past. For the father of four, money is the least of his problems; he has more than he could ever need!

James Cameron: $700 Million, 66

Here is the man behind The Terminator, a film that stretched our imaginations and kept us riveted at the edge of our seats. That’s the iconic filmmaker James Cameron in his element, ladies and gentlemen.

 

He is one of the most well-to-do movie directors of all time, and it’s no surprise he is one of the wealthiest. With about 700 million dollars in his worth, Cameron is unmatched! Then again, this was the man behind Titanic, a film that grossed over two billion dollars at the box office! He deserves it!

Josh Hartnett: $25 Million, 42

Josh Hartnett started off with great potential and starred in various movies that ended up putting him in the spotlight. He made his entrance into the Hollywood acting scene almost 20 years ago, and since then, has acted out different roles that made him a very rich actor.

 

Everyone did predict that Josh’s notoriety would continue to grow exponentially from that point on, but the actor began to decline many movie requests after the 2000s and started to work on independent movie projects as he believes in portraying roles that sent out a good message. Despite all that, Hartnett still stands at a whopping net worth of $25 million.

Harrison Ford: $300 Million, 78

Harrison Ford’s journey from a carpenter to $300 million net worth is truly an inspiring one. His passion for acting forced him to stay in Los Angeles, which eventually led him to be noticed by various directors and producers. Although Harrison created many profitable movies at the box office, the one that really put him out there was George Lucas’ Star Wars.

 

Fast forward to now and Harrison’s earnings from The Force Awakens rounds off to $25 million! The legend’s life’s work has enabled him to buy an 800-acre ranch near Jackson and a $5.3 million penthouse. Surely Han Solo’s future is looking great!

Clint Eastwood: $375 Million, 90

Clint Eastwood never knew his journey into the acting world would bring him this far. He accumulated a lot of recognition throughout his career and found his break with Rawhide. Starring in several western movies, he has managed to really beef up his bank account and build a net worth of $375 million alongside the most popular Hollywood stars.

 

Clint finds himself as the artistic director for several movies and has retired from action himself due to his old age. Let’s just say the man refuses to stop getting rich. He’s considered to be the embodiment of the ’80s western film culture, and we can’t help but agree.

George Clooney: $500 Million, 59

George Clooney started off with his career back in the ’70s and has come a long way since then. His acting seamlessly found its way into the hearts of many and has made him one of the most successful and richest actors in Hollywood. He’s in his late fifties and continues to direct and star in some of the best movies of the past two decades.

 

George’s half-a-billion-dollar fortune has made him an actual real-life Bruce Wayne. Come on; you can’t expect anyone to forget his memorable performance as the Dark Knight in Batman and Robin. Who knew he’d make his bank balance similar to Bruce’s as well?

Richard Gere: $120 Million, 71

Richard Gere’s acting knows no bounds when it comes to talents. He can put on a serious face for an action movie if he wants to or simply make himself the best romantic partner. These acting skills are what helped him amass a fortune of $120 million. The man’s humanitarian side just goes to show that he doesn’t take his money for granted!

 

Yet, the notable actor has managed to lead a life of luxury and glamor with his wife, Alejandra Silva. He sure hasn’t stopped banking in on the cash through the acting scene, and it doesn’t seem like Gere intends on retiring any time soon either.

Chevy Chase: $50 Million, 77

Chevy Chase may have grown up in an upper-middle-class household, but he had a troubled childhood. That would probably explain his penchant for humor and how incredibly gifted he is at making people laugh out loud. Even though his acting tenure was short, his stint on Saturday Night Live won him two Emmys and a Golden Globe.

 

Chase experienced a lot of ups and downs both personally and professionally. Despite it, his net worth easily sits over $50 million, and with his funny bone responsible for earning him that money, is it any wonder he now gets to laugh all the way to the bank?

Woody Harrelson: $70 Million, 59

Woody Harrelson is a consummate actor who appeals to both young and older audiences alike. If you belong to the younger generation, you will recognize him as Haymitch Abernathy in The Hunger Games. Television enthusiasts most certainly can recall his debut as a bartender, Woody Boyd, in the popular sitcom Cheers.

 

Most of his fortune comes from him being part of some high-grossing movies like The Hunger Games, its sequels, and Money Train, for which he was paid close to $5 million. No wonder Woody could afford the luxurious Beverley Hills mansion in which he lives happily with wife Laura Louie, and their three children.

Keanu Reeves: $360 Million, 56

Keanu Reeves, the actor, does not need any introduction. But are you aware of how incredibly generous he is to all those who have crossed paths with him? In an act of appreciation, The Matrix trilogy star gifted Harleys to each of the movie’s stuntmen, who rarely get the applause they deserve. Now that’s the best way to spend money when one is worth $360 million, right?

 

Another interesting fact is that the Speed actor was essentially homeless by choice even after 18 years into his career before buying his Hollywood mansion in 2003. Either way, for every bit of self-indulgence, you will find two more acts of his kindness.

Mark Hamill: $18 Million, 69

Any fan of the popular franchise Star Wars would be familiar with the actor who immortalized his role as the legendary Jedi Master, Luke Skywalker. Before that, Mark Hamill acted in popular television shows such as General Hospital. But it was the decision to accept a role in a sci-fi film instead of another tv series that made him a star overnight.

 

Not only did the trilogy get him worldwide recognition, but it has also consistently raked in huge windfalls in terms of his share of the film’s backend profits. That’s surely a large chunk off his impressive stash of $18 million.

Tim Roth: $7 Million, 60

British actor-director, Tim Roth was only 21 when he got his first television break and paycheck with Made in Britain in 1982. People sat up and noticed him when, two years later, he filled in for Joe Strummer in his first big-screen film, The Hit.

 

Next Roth moved to Los Angeles, where he caught director Quentin Tarantino’s eye and won himself landmark roles in movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction which has continued to swell up his pockets to $7 million. So skilled was he at imitating and switching accents that Tim was often mistaken for an American!

Tim Curry: $14 Million, 74

Tim Curry’s net worth of $14 million is proof of how fruitful his career has been. Best known for his iconic roles in movies It and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the charismatic performer earned immense fame after playing challenging characters. His versatility is an added benefit for him as these traits make the revered Brit a much-in-demand star.

 

We hear Tim has suffered a lot medically that too without having a partner, but thanks to his sizeable fortune, he can get the best treatment in the world. Curry is seventy-four, and we hope his health allows him to come back on screen with a bang!

Owen Wilson: $70 Million, 52

Owen Wilson has won many hearts, no matter the role he takes up. Whether it’s co-writing The Royal Tenenbaums with Wes Anderson, or making his fans laugh and cry with his performance in Wedding Crashers— he knows how to do justice to his work.

 

Thanks to his ultimate skill, Owen is sitting on a net worth of $70 million. No surprises there! His fans look forward to the sequel to Shanghai Knights and the much-awaited role in Loki. You can imagine how Wilson’s net worth will shoot up once these highly anticipated upcoming projects are released.

Edward Norton: $70 Million, 51

Destined to be in the showbiz, Edward Norton won everyone’s attention after his Primal Fear debut. He tried his hand and luck at many jobs, but the entertainment industry was where he belonged. The superstar has featured in some well-known movies like Fight Club and Birdman which helped him bag even better roles.

 

Even in his early fifties, Edward is unstoppable, and we are rather glad! To honor his exceptional work, he has received several awards, but there is one more thing to calculate Norton’s progress, and that is his sizeable net worth of $70 million.

Mark Wahlberg: $300 Million, 49

He has good looks, refined skill, and an impressive fortune in his name! He is our very own Mark Wahlberg. After bagging some evergreen roles in movies, the A-list leading man has earned a fortune worth $300 million. Lucky for him, Wahlberg has made some investments with this large sum, like his Beverly Hills mansion, and we are pretty confident there is more.

 

At the age of forty-nine, Mark has a sought-after storied Hollywood career, and his fans cannot wait to see what more is in store. Well, lots of coveted roles and big bucks, that’s for sure.

Ben Affleck: $150 Million, 48

Ben Affleck, or should we call him Batman, has given back-to-back blockbusters to the audiences. Apart from being a fine actor, he also wears the director’s cap and has directed a classic movie named Argo, which also won an Oscar. There is absolutely no limit to his talent, and even his bank account with $150 million says so.

 

Many fans believe that he is deserving of bigger paycheques, and we entirely agree. Affleck will shortly reprise his role of Batman once again, no doubt bringing in yet another hefty sum of money for this thriving leading man.

Sophia Loren: $75 Million, 86

As unbelievable as this may sound, the evergreen actress Sophia Loren is 86 and undoubtedly ultra-rich! Her $75 million net worth tells us everything about her wealth. She can easily afford a lavish lifestyle and make some expensive investments.

 

The most striking part is that she is nearing the nineties and does not want to give up on entertaining us. Of course, Loren has a loaded bank account and a cupboard full of awards. It is a pleasure to watch this lovely lady onscreen, and we cannot wait to see more of Loren soon.

Regis Philbin: $150 Million, 88

We lost one of TV’s most hardworking stars that made a mark in the industry with the quality of his outstanding work – Regis Philbin, best known as the former host of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, who passed away at the age of 88! The talented man had a net worth of $150 million by the time he took his last breath.

 

Owing to his vast fortune, Philbin purchased luxurious properties, the latest wheels, and anything else his heart desired in his lifetime. He may no longer be with us, but Regis will always be remembered for his commitment and dedication to entertain his fans.

Shakira – $300 Million, 44

With over 125 million albums and singles globally, Shakira is one of the most successful musicians alive. Due to her commercial viability, she signed a $300 million contract with Live Nation. This explains her massive $300 million net worth considering the contract had a ten-year period.

 

Besides just singing, Shakira has numerous feathers adorning her cap, such as philanthropy, songwriting, and a producer, to name a few. One of her side-hustles, The Voice reportedly earned her $12 million. On the other hand, in the last year of her contract with Live Nation, Shakira put up her Miami mansion on the market for $11.6 million, making a hefty profit.

Jaleel White – $8 Million, 44

If you watched sitcoms in the ’80s, you are bound to have met Steve Urkel in Family Matters, who was portrayed by none other than Jaleel White. Initially, the character was meant to be a guest appearance, but due to public demand, that changed, and at the prime of his career, this saw Jaleel netting $180,000 per episode.

 

The sum listed above might seem a little short on this list, but if you factor in inflation, Jaleel netted around $300,000 in today’s conditions. This figure rounds up to a whopping $7 million per season today.

Elin Nordegren – $200 Million, 41

Before the legal settlement that would make her a multi-millionaire, Elin Nordegren worked odd jobs in her home country, Sweden, to make ends meet and finance her education. Eventually, she moved to the US, and the land of the free has been really good to her financially.

 

In 2010 Elin finally settled her legal dispute and walked away with a wild settlement worth $100 million. Factoring in legal fees and whatnot, the lady still had some serious financial muscle left. After this situation, Nordegren immediately delved into the real estate business, buying a house for $12 million, which later sold for $28 million.

Denzel Washington – $250 Million, 66

Saying Denzel Washington has had an illustrious Hollywood career is an understatement. The man is a walking legend having a career spanning several decades, and despite his age, he is still going strong.

 

After building his portfolio with major Box Office hits such as Malcolm XPhiladelphia, and The Pelican Brief, Washington was able to rack up some respect in Hollywood, opening doors for several high-paying roles. For instance, the films Training DayFallen, and The Siege earned him a cool $12 million. Denzel’s momentum has never slowed down, and this is evidenced by his epic net worth, currently estimated at $250 million.

Kelly Ripa – $25 Million, 55

Kelly Ripa’s career stretches as far back as the ’80s, and her time on the small screen has been nothing but illustrious. For starters, she has picked up five Soap Opera Digest Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, and has even gotten a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

 

The New Jersey-born actress is an all-around treasured community member in her hometown, and Ripa was an inductee into the town’s hall of fame in 2017. Currently, Kelly co-hosts Live! With Kelly and Ryan alongside the highly-rated Ryan Seacrest. This show nets Ripa an average of $22 million per year.

Victoria Beckham – $450 Million, 46

Victoria Beckham’s life is the ultimate goal for any hopelessly romantic career woman. She has managed to switch careers and rebrand herself on multiple occasions and still stayed relevant. Despite marrying David Beckham in 1999, her husband’s fame and fortune have never overshadowed her.

 

The former Spice Girls member, now averages a net worth of $450 million due to her various business ventures.

Kanye West, 43 – $3.2 Billion

Regardless, he’s now estimated to be worth around $3.2 billion, and he owes most of it to his Yeezy collaboration with Adidas.
