VICTORIA PRINCIPAL | $350 MILLION

The actress Victoria Principal spent nine years as Pamela Barnes Ewin on the long-running series Dallas. She left in 1987 and realized that going into business was a more profitable way to earn money. Principal then founded her own namesake production company and a line of skincare products she called Principal Secret. Apart from those, she also wrote three books on beauty and health.

All these combined, plus her earnings from his TV appearances, allowed her to achieve a $350 million net worth. She later returned to acting on TV soap operas in 2000, perhaps as a break for herself. Her skincare line is moderately successful, and her books are also selling. We can say that to a great degree, Principal found success in working on her passions. Also, she liked going into business because she has full accountability for the things going on around the company.
