BETTY WHITE | $75 MILLION

As a teenager, Betty White was an avid writer who created a play in which she portrayed the lead role. Her experience made her desire for a future career as an actress, and after she graduated from high school in the late ’30s, she immediately found acting and modeling work. However, White’s early success as an actress came to a halt as she prioritized serving her country by joining the American Women’s Voluntary Service.

Nonetheless, she was able to enter the radio industry and made her big break when she was given her own show. Her major breakthrough came when she hosted the television program Hollywood on Television, and soon after, she began receiving acting credits. She also appeared in shows such as The Practice, Boston Legal, and Saturday Night Live. With all her projects since the ’30s, White accumulated a $75-million net worth.
