Sarah Jessica Parker, Actress, $150 million

The small-town girl from Ohio, Sarah Jessica Parker, now a famous actress, achieved fame after starring as Carrie Bradshaw in “S** and the City.” Her fame and fortune are noteworthy considering the difficulty she faced growing up in a family of nine children.

There was a time in Parker’s life when holidays and birthdays were hardly ever celebrated, owing to the unavailability of money to indulge in those festivities. Sometimes, the family lacked electricity and couldn’t even use the phone because they couldn’t afford to pay the bills. But with a net worth of $150 million in 2021, those days are long behind her.
