Lupita Nyong’o, Actress, $10 million

Lupita Nyong’o is a Kenyan-Mexican actress who was originally only famous locally for acting in the Kenyan TV series “Shuga” and playing a role in the short production “East River.” She wasn’t worth much in her early days, but she started to gain attention after an exceptional role she played in “12 Years a Slave.”

Nyong’o has also featured in many notable films like “Black Panther,” “Get Out,” and “Queen of Katwe.” All of which earned her a fortune and sealed her place as one of her time’s most successful actresses.
