Audrey Hepburn | Actress | $100 million

Audrey Hepburn was born in Ixelles, Brussels, on May 4, 1929. Ballet was her first love and then theater. Afterward, she started appearing in minor roles in various movies. Her fame rose when she starred in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday in 1953. She later received an Oscar, a Golden Globe, and a BAFTA ward for that one movie, attesting to her superb acting skills. Activism and UNICEF occupied most of her post-acting retirement years. Recognizing her efforts, the US government awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1992.

When she starred in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Hepburn became a fashion icon, too. Her elegance and sophistication were easily noticed, which made her style one of the most imitated in Hollywood. Hepburn had a relationship with three men, which produced two children. At the time of her passing, she had a net worth of $100 million, excluding insurance proceeds.
