Terry Moore - 94
Terry Moore started out on the radio before moving on to the silver screen. Her tomboyish looks made her stand apart from other actresses and she starred in many films during the '50s. Sadly she faced a lot of controversy after a rocky relationship with Howard Hughes, which ended in a public court case.
It was solved with both sides settling, which meant a huge figure added to Moore's fortune. Yet, turning a profit isn't everything, as the actress sadly lost her husband in 2001. In 2018, she appeared in the film Saving Flora, and she's got more projects coming up in 2019 and 2020.
Mel Brooks - 97
Mel Brooks is one of those exceptional talents who can proudly say they are an EGOT: an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winners. The actor started off as a comedian, with his black observational humor capturing the hearts of many.
One of his most famous works is The Producers, an incredibly popular Tony-winning Broadway musical. With his $100 million fortune, the actor probably has a decent lifestyle in retirement after all that hard work! He can be proud of his work and his son has also become an actor and a writer. Talent clearly runs in the family.
Marla Gibbs - 92
Marla Gibbs is definitely a multitalented woman, who, during her five-decade career managed to become a successful actress, comedian, singer, writer, and producer. Gibbs is known for her role as Florence Johnston in The Jeffersons, for which she also received five nominations for Emmys. In 1981, she also starred in the show's spin-off Checking In and the NBC sitcom, 227.
Gibbs was also the co-producer of the latter series while at the same time she also played the lead role and sang the theme song! Gibbs has won a total of seven NAACP Image Awards. Later in her career, Gibbs played supporting roles in films such as The Meteor Man, Lost & Found, The Visit, The Brothers, Madea's Witness Protection, Grantham & Rose, and Lemon (2017). And after all that, she still shows no desire for retirement!
Dick Van Dyke - 97
Who doesn’t remember the lovable Dick Van Dyke in the famous Mary Poppins film? The multi-talented performer ruled musical films in his time with appearances in Bye Bye Birdie and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. He is widely recognized by Brits for doing the worst English accent around, but they do love him for it too!
Though he danced and sung his way to become an official Disney Legend, he did face some dangers too. At 87, he was saved from his car, which moments later was engulfed in flames. We hope he did some serious thinking with regard to accidents and bought a safer vehicle. He can definitely afford it with a $30 million fortune!
Bob Barker - 99
Bob Barker is a very popular television personality. Barker began his career in radio, where he showed his skills in talking to people and entertaining everyone with his charm. He started hosting game shows in 1956, with Truth or Consequences. His skills as a host also came in handy for beauty pageants, such as Miss USA and Miss Universe.
He is most famous for hosting The Price Is Right. The host has been happily married to his high school sweetheart for years and years. He has been struggling with his health, though, recently, so hopefully, his $70 million fortune is more than enough to help him through tough times in his golden years.
Tippi Hedren - 93
Another one of Hitchcock’s discoveries is Tippi Hedren, who starred in The Birds. The actress appeared in many films during her time but also went through some hard times. She divorced multiple times with various of her marriages ending badly.
On top of that, an accident at work left her with a long and arduous lawsuit to attend to, which must have definitely complicated things. Meanwhile, she only wanted to raise enough funds for her activism. With her $20-million wealth, Hedren has supported some amazing causes, most notably for the preservation of wildlife. What a woman!
Claudia Cardinale - 85
Italian actress Claudia Cardinale made a name for herself and quite notable earnings mainly thanks to her role in legendary director Sergio Leone’s film, Once Upon a Time in the West. She co-starred there alongside big names Charles Bronson, Jason Robards and Henry Fonda.

Jack Nicholson – 86
Now that the new Joker movie is about to be released, one can’t help but remember Jack Nicholson’s epic take on the same character back in the '80s. With his extraordinary career, Jack’s performances are still remembered and emulated. However, it seems like he's been enjoying downtime for quite some time now since the last movie he acted in was way back in 2010. To be fair, he has already made a $400 million fortune, so he might as well never work again and still have enough money to get by. He was supposed to star in the 2018 movie called How Do You Know, but he reportedly dropped out of the project.
Robert Redford – 86
Robert Redford is undoubtedly one of the most famous actors of our era. He was born in 1936 in Santa Monica, California.

This must have been the saddest news ever for our beloved Paul.

Throughout the show, Eden portrayed multiple characters, wowing audiences with her versatility. The actress wrote a memoir about her rise to fame and her life in Hollywood, which reached the top 15 in best-selling lists. We can’t help but wonder if this feisty genie keeps her net worth of $10 million in a magical golden chest or has simply updated to an online savings account?
Eva Marie Saint - 99
Eva Marie Saint’s career has been an incredible journey. She has been in the business for 7 decades, achieving success after success and a $20 million net worth. Saint started out in television and quickly moved to big leading roles starring opposite Marlon Brando in On The Waterfront. Though Hitchcock’s North By Northwest launched her into huge fame, she always remained humble. The actress always chose roles because she found them interesting, rather than focusing on money. She also never needed any divorce attorneys, as she was married to her husband for 65 years. What a true romance!
Bob Newhart - 93

He is most famous for his own nature documentaries, in which he narrates amazing footage with his distinct voice. Even though he has a net worth of $35 million, living in the UK means he doesn’t need to take out a seniors insurance as their NHS will help him out. He has stated he won’t retire anytime soon. What a legend!
Tony Bennett - 96
Tony Bennett’s incredible voice has made him one of the most successful singers in America. His career spans many decades, from amazing audiences in the ‘50s to sold-out shows in our own era. After his military service, he became an absolute hit machine, entertaining audiences with his show tunes and jazz standards. Bennett’s improvisational skills made him a unique singer, and his warm heart and compassion didn’t go unnoticed either.

Hopefully, his financial advisor can help him manage his net worth of $200 million, so he can invest in projects like starting his own school.
