MELANIE GRIFFITH | $45 MILLION

When talking about big stars, Melanie Griffith has truly lived the life of fortune and fame. Griffith started her career as a child model and then graduated from a Hollywood professional school at the tender age of 16. Early in her acting career, Griffith would get typecasted as a nymphet with mature roles in movies such as Downing Pool and  One on One. She would then encounter further misfortune in the movie Roar’s set, where she got attacked by a lion.

However, as in any good Hollywood film, a redemption arc would soon follow. She made a comeback with an award-winning performance in the movie Body Double in 1984 and furthered her  Hollywood success with another film, Working Girl. This would earn her a Golden Globe Award for best actress. From then on, a series of awards and critical acclaim would be to her credit for her works in movies such as Buffalo Girls, Another Day in Paradise, and Pirates of Somalia.  With an estimated Net Worth of $45 million, Griffith is a prime example of a woman who never gives up and has proven her worth synonymously to her success.
