Cher – $300m-$400m
Cher in a long-timer in terms of success in the entertainment industry, having been around since the 1960s. She started out with her then-husband, Sonny Bono, but actually achieved greater success as a solo artist once they split, and now her net worth sits comfortably somewhere in between the huge sums of $300m and $400m! Being one of history’s most popular and acclaimed artists is bound to bring a titanic fortune with such status.
Monica Lewinsky – $1.5m
Monica Lewinsky has an unfortunate claim to fame, with the whole fiasco with the former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, and how the press absolutely hounded the young woman. But she managed to be a story of inspiration for many women and men alike and made her fortune through giving speeches, a book deal, endorsements, and TV appearances, particularly as an anti-bullying activist and getting through such a public scandal. She was also a handbag designer for a while!
