MELANIE GRIFFITH | $45 MILLION

I guess we can all agree by now that Hollywood is not always about the glitz and the glamour, and actress Melanie Griffith learned this the hard way.

Melanie kicked off her career as a teenage model at the age of 16. She graduated from a Hollywood professional school then started landing roles but struggled with being typecast for mature roles. Fortunately, her fate would soon be on a path to redemption. She made an award-winning comeback in the movie Body Double in 1984. She’d then make further strides toward success with her role in Working Girl. For this, she’d be a recipient of a Golden Globe Award for best actress. After that, everything went uphill for Melanie as she’d receive more accolades to her credit for movies such as Buffalo Girls, Pirates of Somalia, and Another Day in Paradise. Currently, she is estimated to have a Net Worth of $45 million. Hers is a story of perseverance, and she has truly earned her spot in Hollywood history.
