The mini-skirt, claimed by many as Mary's invention, became a defining trend in the '60s. The idea was to make clothing convenient for women so they could, for example, run to catch a bus. Sadly, Mary passed away in her Surrey home in April 2023 with a worth of almost $22 million.

Williams has had a fair few let-downs during his career, including the termination from NPR. His work as a contributor for Fox News began in 1997 and continues to this day although, he did move from their New York office to the one in D.C. to spend more time with his loved ones. After all, he is 67 and is worth $2 million.
Jessica Brown Findlay - $3 Million
From playing Lady Cybil Crawley in Downton Abbey to Emilia Conan Doyle in Albatross, Jessica Brown Findlay has appeared in various projects during the last dozen years. Even though she spent her entire childhood with love for ballet, some ankle surgeries ruined that for her.

Since 2009, he has been one of the "chasers" on ITV's game show The Chase. In June 2021, the 55-year-old started appearing as one of the four chasers on ABC's version of the same game show. We guess "The Beast" will continue to make money off the show.

Well, let's just say that didn't affect the 30-year-old's will in the slightest because she proudly made her acting debut as a teenager. Known for her roles in The Knick, Blood Ties, The Luminaries, and Behind Her Eyes, Hewson currently boasts a net worth of $8 million.
Liza Marshall – $9 Million
Remember reading about Mark Strong previously? Well, here, we'll be looking at his spouse, Liza Marshall, who is also in show business. She is, however, not an actress. Instead, she is a successful producer who started her career producing six episodes of The Sins in 2000.
Today, over 30 productions later, she is still active in the entertainment industry, completing her most recent project, a miniseries named Honour, in 2020. Although unconfirmed, Marshall is said to have a net worth of $9 million, which seems believable considering her line of work.

Apparently, singers and musicians aren't the only ones banking hefty sums of money by working in the music industry. Take John Reid, for example. He is a music manager who made himself a fortune of $70 million during a career spanning just over three decades.
Elton John fans may recall Reid quite well as he was the ex-lover of the music mogul.

John Cleese - $20 Million

However, the older generations will remember him as the co-founder of the Monty Python comedy troupe, as Basil Fawlty from Fawlty Towers, or Archie Leech in A Fish Called Wanda.
It's safe to assume that money isn't the 81-year-old's biggest motivator as he already has a net worth of $20 million but continues to work on new projects like Father Christmas Is Back, Wedding of the Year, and The Martini Shot.
Tom Hardy - $45 Million
Tom Hardy is, hands down, one of the most handsome actors in the United Kingdom. By his current age of 43, he has been active in the industry for over two decades, during which time he secured noteworthy roles in Star Trek: Nemesis, The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Venom.

Michelle Ryan - $1.1 Million
Being a part of her local theatre group since she was ten certainly did Michelle Ryan a lot of good as it paved the way for her to win a role in a popular soap opera at the age of 16. If you didn't already know, Ryan played Zoe Slater on EastEnders for five years between 2000 and 2005.
Over two decades have passed since she made her screen debut, and it is believed that she has made a fortune of $1.1 million during that time. Some of the 37-year-old's other acclaimed roles were in Jekyll, Bionic Woman, Covert Affairs, and most recently, Dark Stories.

Unfortunately, Nordegren's marriage didn't last very long. In addition to the lessons and two children, the now 41-year-old walked out of her marriage with $100 million, which she got from Woods in their divorce settlement. It looks like she has invested right and has since doubled the sum, coming to be worth $200 million today.
