Kristen Wiig, Actress and Comedian, $25 million

The movie industry is a tough one. Any successful actor will concur, and the American comedian and actress, Kristen Wiig, was no exception to its brutality. On approaching 30 years of age, she was still selling hot dogs, doing laundry, and babysitting, among other things, while striving for her big break.

It finally happened in 2007. Two years after debuting on “Saturday Night Live,” she hit the big screens in the hit comedy film “Knocked Up.” Wiig has since amassed a little fortune for herself and is now one of the famous faces on TV. We saw her in the 2021 trailer for Netflix’s “A Boy Called Christmas.”
